About this property
A wonderful opportunity to upgrade or add onto this original 2 bedroom, 1 bath 1946 traditional house. It has great light in every room. The living and dining room is located in the front of the house with the centrally located kitchen and lots of storage in the pantry. It has been well maintained in its original condition. It has a long driveway to a 2 car garage with a converted area behind the garage that is used as an office. Permits have been approved for a 1150 ADU and have since expired. Renderings of the ADU are shown in this listing. The property was preventatively seismically retrofitted in 2021, qualifying it for a CEA earthquake insurance discount. There is a grassy yard with access to the alley behind the house. The locale is exceptional with the newly upgraded Douglas Park, shops and groceries moments away, and public transport one block away.

Payment calculator
Explore a fixed-rate loan scenario. The price comes from this listing; a 20% down payment and 30-year term are starting assumptions, not requirements. Enter your own interest rate—not APR—and estimated costs.
Illustration only—not a rate quote, preapproval, lending offer or affordability determination. Assumes equal monthly payments on a fully amortizing fixed-rate loan; no adjustable rates, interest-only periods or balloon payments. Excludes closing costs, utilities, maintenance, special assessments and other unentered costs. Actual payments and escrow can differ. Review a Loan Estimate with your lender.
