Property Description
Own a piece of Sacramento history with built in cash flow and incredible upside potential. This stunning 1915 Victorian duplex in the heart of Midtown Sacramento is the kind of investment opportunity that rarely hits the market. Located at 916-918 U Street, this charming property features two spacious 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom units, both currently rented at market value, creating immediate income from day one. Rich in original character and timeless architectural details, this property blends historic charm with modern updates in one of Sacramento's most desirable neighborhoods. The downstairs unit showcases beautiful Craftsman details including original built ins, decorative pillars separating the living and dining rooms, large sun filled windows, hardwood floors and an updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances. A private staircase leads directly to the backyard, adding convenience and outdoor access. The upstairs unit offers a private landing entry, wood floors, fresh paint that makes the original trim pop, a spacious living room with an alcove perfect for a reading nook, and a generously sized bedroom with walk in closet. The updated kitchen also features stainless steel appliances and natural light throughout. The exterior boasts classic Victorian curb appeal with a steep gabled roofline, covered front porch, raised foundation, and beautifully updated sage green paint with crisp white trim. The real hidden gem is the basement. Previously used as a third unit, the space already has power and water access in place, offering incredible potential for future expansion. Investors may choose to develop the basement into an additional income producing unit, expand usable living space, create storage, or explore other value add opportunities. Located just blocks from Southside Park, Midtown restaurants, famous shaved ice, coffee shops, nightlife, entertainment, and the California State Capitol, this property sits in a prime rental location with strong long term demand. Perfect for investors, house hackers, or buyers looking for a unique historic property with income potential and future upside.
