About This Property

A rare find: an income-producing corner duplex with real flexibility for investors or owner-occupants. The upper unit offers 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths in a light-filled, generously proportioned layout, with a private staircase and exclusive garage use. The lower unit offers 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, a private entrance, and its own yard with newly installed glass doors. Tenants pay all utilities except garbage. Groundwork is done: new roof, garage door, and some updated plumbing. Close to 101 and 280, muni, San Bruno Ave's restaurants and markets, and McLaren Park's trails and golf course just blocks away. A versatile property in a neighborhood with genuine character.
