Property Description
Craftsman Garden Duplex with Detached Shop/Garage plus Bonus Studio. Tenant Occupied with all rooms filled. Tucked into a quiet cul-de-sac on the Eastside, just blocks from local favorite markets, shops and restaurants. This nearly fully renovated income property offers exceptional flexibility and charm. The main duplex features two spacious units with updated kitchens, baths, and flooring, while a separate detached unit permitted as an art studio adds additional living or rental potential. Behind the vintage 1903 facade lies a complete system overhaul including electrical, plumbing, roof, and even a rebuilt foundation. A detached garage and carport provide ample storage or utility space, and the mature yard invites outdoor enjoyment. The R1 zoning and legal duplex status affords additional capacity for converting the existing art studio to an ADU, with room to add more units and/or ADU's. The property blends historic character with modern performance, all within easy reach of beaches, UCSC, and shopping.
