Single Family Home with Duplex Conversion Potential — Separate Utilities Already In Place This spacious 5-bedroom, 2-bath single family home offers rare duplex potential thanks to decades of prior licensed duplex use and existing separate utilities. The city no longer recognizes the duplex status, but the home could potentially be converted back — buyers should verify requirements directly with the city. With 1,766 square feet above ground, this 1900-built home is full of character and opportunity. The layout naturally supports multi-generational living, a house-hack setup, or future rental income, with 2 bedrooms on the main level and 3 bedrooms upstairs. The upper-level kitchen was removed (utility access is still in place), creating a blank canvas for customization. All utilities needed for a second kitchen — including gas, water, and drain connections — are already in place behind the upstairs wall for easier reinstallation. Inside, enjoy a blend of updates and original charm—fresh paint, newer flooring, updated bathrooms, and a functional main-level kitchen. There is still plenty of room for personal finishing touches, offering a chance to build equity and tailor the home to your vision. Outside, the property features a partially fenced yard with mature shade trees and a detached one-car garage with alley access and extra parking. A versatile property in a convenient location—ideal for buyers seeking space, flexibility, and long-term potential.
