Property is move-in ready.
Although built in 1922, the property is well-maintained and move-in ready with renovations likely in the 5-15 year range. The kitchen features granite counters and stainless appliances, and the primary bath has been modernized. Significant value is added by updated systems including owned Tesla solar with battery backup, EV charging, and a detached studio with its own HVAC.
The property features owned Tesla solar with a 13.5kWh battery backup and EV charging, offering significant utility savings and modern convenience rarely found in vintage homes.
Situated in one of Sacramento's most coveted neighborhoods, the home is just blocks from McKinley Park and minutes from Midtown’s dining and boutiques, ensuring high long-term desirability.
A detached studio equipped with power and HVAC provides excellent versatility as a home office, gym, or guest suite, effectively expanding the property's functional footprint.
With only 1,066 square feet of living space and a 2-bedroom layout, the home may feel restrictive for buyers requiring larger interior proportions or additional bedrooms.
The 3,202 square foot lot is relatively small, which limits outdoor recreational space and potential for future structural expansions.
Tucked along a quiet street in East Sac, this 1922 cottage offers 2 beds, 1.5 baths & a rare, attainable price point for one of Sacramento's most desirable neighborhoods. With a classic footprint full of original charm, the home welcomes you inside with fresh paint, original hardwood floors & a charming period gas fireplace, creating a natural gathering spot. The updated kitchen includes granite counters, stainless gas range, dishwasher, fridge & a garden window bringing in natural light. An adjoining breakfast nook makes room for easy everyday meals, while the formal dining room with a built-in hutch sets the stage for gatherings big & small. The updated primary bath offers a walk-in shower and bidet, while a 2nd half bath, stacked laundry closet & partial basement keep daily routines simple & storage plentiful. The home also comes with owned Tesla solar with a 13.5kWh battery for backup power, storing & selling power to the grid and vastly lowering electric bills. Outside, a private backyard invites relaxation w/a deck, hot tub, mature hedges, and lemon & orange trees. The detached studio w/power & HVAC offers standout flexibility as a home office, gym, or guest space, while the enclosed carport w/roll-up door & EV charging functions like a private garage. Just blocks from McKinley Park's rose garden, pool, dog park & tennis courts, this coveted location also puts Midtown's dining & boutiques just minutes away. Easy light rail & freeway access plus proximity to Sutter Medical Center keep daily errands, commutes & weekend outings equally effortless. With timeless character and thoughtful updates throughout, this cottage is ready to welcome its next owner home.
