The Castle Of Alamo! Truly Magical! Defines 1 Of 1 Integrated Sleek Modern Design! Curated & Collected! WOW Nothing Like It! Privacy and Serenity! "A home that makes you smile" as quoted by one of its owner's. Interesting facts about this Castle abound : A good portion of the building materials for the property are recycled; items were collected over a 20 year time period, about 120K+ bricks used abundantly for the exterior and interior many from a warehouse in Oakland, an old press ladder from the Oakland Tribune evokes a bygone era, in the great room the spine and ridge of the high ceilings comes from rafters & braces taken from an old JCPenny store in SF, the chandelier is from the GYM of Fremont High School, the fireplace mantle comes from a bar in Jack London Square, the home's stairs comes from church pews from England. The intrigue continues outdoors with the roof being slate that has been chipped by hand and the roof rafters in the house were taken from an abandon Oakland Army Depot. It is these roof rafters that you see protruding from under the eaves outside that are all carved into interesting faces, animals, etc. Upon entry into the castle a grand foyer leads to entertaining and the home's bedrooms. The dramatic formal dining room is front and center with french doors leading to the expansive terrace. A striking custom chandelier sets the stage for one of a kind lighting throughout the property.
