A home is more than just a property — it’s a place where ideas flourish, memories are cherished, and dreams take form. 1504 Verdi Street is exactly that kind of home. This beautifully restored 1917 Craftsman, originally built by George Noble, has been lovingly cared for over the past 13 years by owners who filled it with breadmaking, beer brewing, and memorable parties with friends. Recipient of an Alameda Architectural Preservation Society Award in 2021, this four-bedroom, two-bath home blends architectural heritage with curated, contemporary finishes — from soapstone counters and a chef’s kitchen to owned solar, upgraded systems, and thoughtfully restored bathrooms. Original details remain throughout, including hardwood floors, built-in bookcases flanking the fireplace, and a speakeasy-style door knocker featuring heraldic rampant lions that sets the tone for whimsy from the very first step inside. Out back, a tree-lined setting offers fruit trees, easy-care landscaping, and a fabulous party-ready backyard, plus a versatile studio and workshop — former home of the Noble Garage Brewing Company — complete with water, electric, and plenty of built-in storage. It’s all just a half mile from the shops and restaurants of Webster Street, with quick access to the tunnel, I-880, and ferries to San Francisco.
