Historic Ball Estate in Alamo, California Lists for $12.8 Million

The Ball Estate, located in Alamo, California, is now available for $12.8 million. This historic property, linked to the influential construction family that helped develop much of the state's highway infrastructure, was originally constructed in 1912 for Walter Arnstein, who was behind the Oakland and Antioch Railroad. Renowned architect Arthur Brown Jr., later famous for his work on San Francisco City Hall and Coit Tower, designed the home. Acquired by Gordon and Dorothy Ball in 1946, it served as both a family residence and the headquarters for Gordon H. Ball Co. Spanning nearly four acres with mature redwoods, the estate features an 8,842-square-foot main house with six bedrooms and seven bathrooms, along with a swimming pool, gazebo, and expansive lawns. The interiors were updated by Casey Howard in partnership with Vesta Home. Agent Khrista Jarvis Diebner is responsible for the listing.
