Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1940, this 80+ year old property requires significant rehabilitation. While the upstairs is marketed as recently upgraded, the downstairs unit is an unfinished 'sweat equity' project with exposed plumbing, electrical wiring, and a makeshift kitchen, indicating the need for a major rehab to be fully functional.
Perfectly situated in the heart of historic Guerneville, the property is just blocks from Johnson's Beach and downtown's dining and shopping, offering exceptional appeal for short-term rentals or lifestyle-focused tenants.
As a multi-family duplex with a reconfigured upstairs (1BR + Studio) and a large downstairs unit, the property provides flexible options for multi-generational living or multiple rental income streams.
The 1940s soul of the home is preserved through high ceilings, original built-ins, and beautiful knotty pine walls, providing a unique aesthetic charm that is highly sought after in the Russian River Valley.
The downstairs 2BR unit is a 'sweat equity' project requiring significant finishing touches, which necessitates immediate additional investment and construction oversight after closing.
With a lot size of only 1,873 square feet, the property offers very limited outdoor space or private yard area, which may be a drawback for tenants or owners desiring garden space or outdoor entertaining.
This charming 1940s multi-family home at 5th & Church offers a rare blend of vintage character and modern versatility in the heart of historic Guerneville.
