Remarks

Two houses on one lot! Some properties make you choose between character and utility. Not this one. In front, a classic 2BD/1BA cottage greets you with an inviting open living/dining area, two sunny bedrooms, an updated kitchen and bath, plus an attached garage that functions as bonus space. Here's the surprise… Out back is a roughly 600 sq ft modern studio ADU with vaulted ceilings and flooded with natural light, designed by notable architect Rocio Romero (built 2019). Think: rental income, in-law unit, work-from-home space, you name it. The large lot offers tons of usable outdoor space, with yard in front, yard in back, and a central grassy area that naturally becomes a gathering spot. Professionally landscaped, low maintenance, and easy to enjoy. Thoughtfully selected Heath and Fireclay tile give each space a distinct and playful feel. Located just blocks from favorites like Catahoula Coffee, Tacos El Tucán, and Factory Bar, plus convenient access to Highway 80. Two homes, one incredible opportunity.
