Property is new construction or fully renovated.
Although originally built in 1966, the property underwent an extensive $360K post-fire renovation in 2020-2021, including a full studs-down rebuild of one unit and major restoration of the other. With updated systems, fire sprinklers, full code compliance, and modern turnkey interiors, it meets the criteria for excellent condition.
With $360,000 invested in 2020-21 for a studs-down rebuild and interior restoration, the property offers modern code compliance and turnkey condition for the next owner.
The duplex boasts long-term tenants with no turnover or vacancy loss since 2013, providing immediate and reliable cash flow for investors or house-hackers.
The oversized 12,602 sqft lot provides a rare opportunity to add ADU units, allowing for significant value-add and increased rental income subject to city approval.
Located at the end of a 19-building residential enclave, the property may experience less privacy and more neighborhood congestion than a traditional standalone duplex.
Given the decade-long tenancies, current rental rates likely sit below market value, which may limit immediate yield until units are turned over or adjusted.
A rare turnkey duplex opportunity in one of Santa Rosa's most tightly-knit residential pockets. GSI of $71,568 per year. Located at the most secluded and quiet end of James Court a private 19-building enclave of duplexes and a triplex1680-1682 Dutton Avenue offers the combination investors and house-hackers rarely find: a fully rebuilt building, long-term tenants in place, and the availability of established on-site property management. Both units received substantial renovation in 2020-2021 following a fire at the property. Unit 1682 was taken down to the studs and fully rebuilt with all-new systems, kitchen, baths, flooring, and finishes. Unit 1680 received extensive interior restoration, including upgraded kitchen, baths, and flooring. Approximately $360,000 was invested in bringing the building to current code, including the installation of a fire sprinkler system and dedicated water-holding tanks for each unit. The result is a building that, from a systems standpoint, is effectively newer than most comparable stock in the submarket. The property has been under the same ownership since 2013. Both units have been occupied continuously by the same long-term tenants who were already in place at acquisitionno turnover, no vacancy loss, and no re-leasing costs in over a decade. Rents are below current market levels as a natural consequence of this tenure and Santa Rosa's rent stabilization ordinance, which provides annual allowable adjustments. At future unit turnover, the next owner will benefit from re-leasing both units at current market rentsa documented, quantifiable upside built into the property today. Each unit includes an attached single-car garagea notable amenity in this submarket. For investors, the availability of an experienced on-site property manager who has overseen this building and five neighboring duplexes under the same ownership for over a decade offers a true passive-ownership path. For an owner-occupant seeking to house-hack, the property allows you to live in one unit while rental income from the other offsets the mortgage with the option of professional management if you prefer a hands-off landlord experience.
