Rare opportunity to own two fully renovated homes on a single lot. This turnkey property pairs a classic Craftsman bungalow in front with a private rear unit — ideal for an owner-occupant looking to offset the mortgage, a multi-generational family, or an investor seeking strong rental income from day one. The front home (4 bed / 3.5 bath, 1,255 sqft) has been restored with care, blending original character with modern finishes. A covered front porch with tapered columns and hand-set patterned tile steps welcomes you in. Inside, rich stained-wood trim and coffered ceiling detail frame an open living and dining area that flows into the kitchen, all set over gleaming refinished hardwood floors. The chef's kitchen features quartz countertops, a full marble-look backsplash, natural-wood cabinetry with brass hardware, and stainless appliances. Bedrooms are bright and generous, several with en-suite baths finished in floor-to-ceiling marble-style tile, frameless glass showers, rainfall shower heads, and modern vanities. Recessed lighting, central heat and air, and abundant natural light run throughout. The rear home (2 bed / 1 bath, 864 sqft) is a comfortable, fully updated unit of its own — with a bright kitchen, wood-look flooring, fresh finishes, and its own private access. Perfect for rental income, guests, or extended family. The upside doesn't stop there: the property includes two 2-car garages that can be converted into ADUs, easily accommodating two additional 1-bedroom units. That's a clear path to four income-producing units on one lot — a major value-add for investors and house-hackers looking to maximize cash flow. Outside, a long gated driveway offers ample off-street parking and leads past drought-tolerant landscaping and mature fruit trees to the rear unit. A manicured front lawn, updated exterior paint, and clean curb appeal complete the package.
