Property is move-in ready.
Built in 1927, this duplex features a significantly updated Unit 1 with a modern kitchen (newer white cabinetry, black granite, stainless steel appliances) and an updated bathroom (charming black-and-white tile, pedestal sink) that blends period style with contemporary finishes. Original features like hardwood floors, coved ceilings, and craftsman built-ins are well-maintained. While Unit 1 is move-in ready and cosmetically strong, the overall 'Good' score reflects the property's age and the lack of explicit details regarding updates to major systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical) for the entire duplex, as well as the unspecified condition of Unit 2, which may require future attention.

Step beneath the dappled light of old sycamores and into a piece of Sacramento's architectural history. This stately 1920's brick duplex features two updated residences. Unit 1 was updated previous to current tenant. From the street, arched porches welcome you like a vintage postcard-each entrance offering privacy, and personality. Inside, original hardwood floors glow with age and grace, leading to living rooms framed by classic coved ceilings and stunning brick fireplaces. New designer lighting in unit 1 casts a soft glow. The kitchen in unit 1 has newer crisp white cabinetry, sleek black granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and period-style bead board ceilings. Archways lead to cozy dining areas and hallways lined with statement fixtures-industrial black sconces and warm, minimal pendants that echo the home's craftsman roots. The dining rooms feature original craftsman built in cabinets. Updated bathrooms features charming black-and-white tile floors and pedestal sinks. Thoughtful upgrades blend seamlessly with the original layout and design. Out back, unit 1 enjoys a large private fenced yard while unit 2 has a small, private yard. The basement for unit 1 is partially finished. Could be an office or master suite.
