This renovated duplex features a vacant 3BR/2BA lower unit, providing an immediate opportunity for an owner-occupant to 'house-hack' or for an investor to realize market-rate rental income.
The property blends historic 1889 architecture with modern renovations, including updated kitchens, individual laundry for each unit, and unique custom murals that enhance its curb appeal and character.
The property's immediate proximity to the BART platform and major freeway interchanges (980/880) results in significant ambient noise and high public visibility, which may deter some residents.
The local public schools assigned to this address carry low performance ratings (ranging from 2 to 4), which could impact long-term appreciation and appeal to families.
