Welcome to this charming Spanish-style duplex in East Sacramento, just a few blocks from McKinley Park. Offering two separate 2-bedroom, 1-bath flats, one upstairs and one downstairs, this property is surrounded by mature trees and features a stucco exterior with original 1930s architectural details. The two-unit configuration offers a great opportunity for investors, multigenerational living, or an owner-occupant looking to offset their mortgage with rental income. Each residence offers about 1,400 square feet of living space with hardwood floors, high ceilings, lots of light, and a blend of original character and thoughtful updates. The living rooms feature exposed wood ceiling beams, fireplaces, built-in shelving, and arched details. Formal dining rooms lead to updated kitchens with generous cabinetry and tile countertops. Each flat also includes a separate laundry room and an additional room ideal for a home office or guest space. The bathrooms retain their vintage character with honeycomb tile flooring, period-style tile, soaking tubs, and separate tiled showers. The front bedrooms offer ample closet space, including a walk-in closet downstairs, and the back bedrooms feature vintage built-ins and garden views. Downstairs, a beautiful leaded-glass window accents a nook off the extra room, and an approximately 350- square-foot basement provides additional storage or flexible-use space. Upstairs, French doors from the living room open to a private terrace overlooking the surrounding trees. Important improvements include newer furnaces for both units, new air conditioning for both flats in 2023, and electrical, lighting, and plumbing upgrades added over the years. Recent additions include an electric fire, a ceiling fan, and a newer oven upstairs, plus a new dishwasher downstairs. Outside, the fenced backyard features a wrought-iron entry gate, mature privacy hedge, orange tree, patio area, storage shed, and room for gardening and entertaining. Two off- street parking places complete the picture. With two separate residences, established outdoor spaces, original architectural character, and regular maintenance and improvements, this duplex offers flexibility for a variety of living or investment options.
