One unit features a fully modernized kitchen with navy shaker cabinets, stone countertops, honeycomb tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. The inclusion of mini-split HVAC systems and well-maintained hardwood flooring indicates that major systems have been updated or well-preserved, though some areas and the exterior stucco show minor age-related wear.
Situated in the heart of San Rafael, the property offers exceptional walkability to downtown amenities, dining, and transportation, ensuring high tenant demand and consistent investment appeal.
The property includes significant parking capacity, a highly valuable and rare feature for centrally located urban duplexes that significantly enhances tenant retention and convenience.
