Twice the Craftsman Charm, Endless Possibilities!
This rare Longfellow property presents an ideal opportunity for buyers interested in house hacking, multi-generational living, rental income potential, or simply the flexibility of two separate residences. Live in one home while renting the other, or explore the many possibilities this unique configuration provides. Each residence has its own private entrance, front porch, separately metered utilities, and dedicated laundry, with a lovely shared patio creating an inviting connection between the two homes.
Thoughtfully updated while preserving their original character, both homes feature remodeled kitchens and bathrooms complemented by hardwood floors, original built-ins, and period architectural details. The rear home features a brand-new mini-split heat pump system for efficient heating and cooling, plus a spacious private enclosed patio ideal for outdoor dining, entertaining, or a year-round container garden. A bonus loft-attic creates a cozy retreat, reading space, or additional flexible-use area. Beneath the front home, abundant storage and garage space offer even more versatility and intriguing possibilities for future use or expansion.
Conveniently located near Temescal, Rockridge, and Emeryville, with easy access to neighborhood shops, restaurants, cafés, and everyday amenities.
