1612 San Antonio Ave

1612 San Antonio Ave is a truly special Alameda residence, offering the rare opportunity to own a home with both architectural significance and a remarkable history of stewardship. Beautifully renovated while thoughtfully preserving its original character, this spacious 4-bedroom, 2-bath home offers approximately 3,170 square feet of living space on a generous 7,318-square-foot lot. The home has been owned by just two families, with the previous owners calling it home for more than 60 years—a testament to the enduring appeal and character of this one-of-a-kind property. Designed by renowned San Francisco architect Willis Polk, whose influential work helped shape the architectural landscape of the Bay Area in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the residence reflects the craftsmanship and timeless design associated with his work. Polk is perhaps best known for landmark projects including San Francisco’s Hallidie Building, the Pacific Union Club, and numerous distinguished residences throughout the Bay Area. Recently renovated by Buestad Construction, the home has undergone significant improvements, including the removal of knob-and-tube wiring, an updated concrete foundation, and a new roof, bringing modern functionality and peace of mind while preserving its historic soul. Adding an especially personal and artistic element to the home’s story are four distinctive sets of doors created by artist Garry Knox Bennett. The doors were commissioned by the previous owners to be built specifically for the home more than 60 years ago and have remained with the property ever since, becoming a unique part of its history and character. From its architectural pedigree and decades-long ownership history to its thoughtful renovation and artistic details, 1612 San Antonio is more than a home—it is a piece of Alameda history, carefully cherished and now ready for its next chapter.
