Overview

Description

Step into timeless charm with this stunning 1921 Craftsman-style duplex—truly a rare find. Unlike typical layouts, this home features a unique front-to-back configuration, offering enhanced privacy and a more “single-family” feel on both sides. The owner-occupied front unit lives like a full two-story home, complete with 5 spacious bedrooms, 3 bathrooms (one on each level), and a finished lower level perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or flexible use. Classic built-ins and stunning hardwood floors bring warmth and timeless character throughout, while meticulous care over the past 14 years ensures the home is in exceptional condition. The rear unit offers its own two-story layout with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms (including a convenient half bath just off the kitchen), making it an ideal rental, in-law suite, or extended living space. Whether you're looking for a smart owner-occupant opportunity or a true multi-generational setup, this property delivers flexibility and character in equal measure. Located in a highly desirable, walkable neighborhood, you’re just steps from grocery stores, restaurants, and everyday conveniences—making this not just a home, but a lifestyle.
