Walk through the eclectic wood front gate into quaint common garden spaces as you’re met with 1904 Victorian charm. The lower tenant-occupied unit is charming and spacious, with a common seating area just out of the front door and a lovely view of the gardens from the bedroom. There is an additional studio unit on the ground level that is currently occupied and provides convenient additional income. The vacant upper unit in the main house could be an excellent opportunity for an owner occupant. In the back of the property, the cutest bespoke cottage completes the living space. This property also boasts shared laundry, gardens, an outdoor lounge area on top of the garage. The garage has two separate spaces, one for the owner and one dedicated for tenant storage. Walk to Gourmet Ghetto, Green Yogi, or BART. Easily bike over to 4th street for shopping or drive up to Tilden Park and Wildcat Canyon to get lost in nature.
