Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1984, this 40-year-old property is functional and well-maintained but remains largely in original condition. The kitchen features dated oak cabinetry and laminate countertops, and the interior has popcorn ceilings typical of its era. While the addition of new appliances and its 'move-in ready' status are positives, the overall age of the systems and the significant cracking in the driveway align with the 'Fair' criteria for a property needing cosmetic updates and minor repairs.
The duplex configuration, featuring a spacious 3-bedroom upper unit and a private 1-bedroom lower unit, provides an ideal setup for either a multi-generational family or an owner-occupant looking to offset their mortgage with rental income.
Situated in the desirable Burbank Gardens neighborhood, the property offers exceptional walkability and access to downtown Santa Rosa, major retailers like Trader Joe's and Costco, and convenient freeway access.
The property is set back from the street for enhanced privacy and includes a rare two-car garage with extensive shelving and dedicated laundry, adding significant utility and value for both units.
The lower-level unit is significantly smaller at 553 sq. ft. compared to the upper unit, which may limit its appeal to single occupants and result in a lower rental ceiling for that portion of the property.
While the high school is well-rated, the nearest elementary school has a low rating of 2, which could be a drawback for families with young children and impact long-term resale appeal to that demographic.
Set back from the street for enhanced privacy, this well-positioned duplex in the sought-after Burbank Gardens neighborhood presents an excellent opportunity for both investors and owner-occupants. Just minutes from downtown Santa Rosa, the location offers easy access to local shops, dining, Costco, Trader Joe's, freeway routes, and the Fairgrounds. The upper-level unit (approx. 1,234 sq. ft.) includes 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, highlighted by a generous primary suite with a private bath, a spacious eat-in kitchen with new appliances, and sliding glass doors leading to a front balconyideal for an owner's residence. The lower-level unit (approx. 553 sq. ft.) features 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom, a private side entrance, and an open-concept kitchen and living area. A two-car garage with abundant shelving and a dedicated laundry area adds convenience, making this a smart and versatile property in a prime location.
