Property Description

Rarely does a California Bungalow duplex with this much character and flexibility come to market in the heart of Picfair Village. Delivered completely vacant and situated on an R2-zoned lot, the property features a front residence, a detached rear residence, and inviting gardens that give each space a sense of privacy.The front unit is currently configured as a 1-bedroom residence plus a loft and 1.5 baths, along with an attached guest studio with a full bath. The studio was separated from the front residence without permits; both spaces are permitted together as one unit. A future owner can explore reconnecting them for a larger front home or pursuing a permitted Junior ADU conversion, subject to applicable requirements and approvals. The detached second unit includes 1 bedroom, 1 bath, its own kitchen, and a private garden patio. Whether you are looking to live in one and rent the other, bring generations together, or establish an income property, the vacant delivery gives you room to plan your next chapter.A garden path winds through professionally designed landscaping, with fragrant French lavender and Mediterranean-inspired plantings leading to the front home. Elevated above the sidewalk, the covered porch offers a welcoming place for morning coffee, conversation with neighbors, or a quiet evening outdoors.Inside, sunlight fills the rooms, hardwood floors add warmth, and designer-selected paint colors complement the bungalow's original character. A fossiliferous limestone fireplace anchors the living room, adding distinctive texture to a space that feels equally comfortable for entertaining and everyday living.The kitchen offers a generous center island, quartz countertops, abundant cabinetry, and a pantry, with plenty of room to prepare meals while staying connected to family and guests. A sunny breakfast nook provides another inviting place to gather.The attached studio includes a private living and sleeping area and a full bath, offering space for guests, extended family, a home office, or creative pursuits within the front unit's current configuration.A stroll through the garden leads to the detached rear residence, where blooming star jasmine surrounds a private patio.
