983 Arlington Ave

NOBE: Extensively renovated side-by-side duplex can easily be converted to single family by opening a doorway between units. Thoughtful updates and large professionally landscaped lot promise all the comforts of a family home to own and live in, with or without rental income from a mirror-image second unit. Re-built detached garage/workshop in the rear offers future living space/ADU potential. Live convenient-to-everything in your light-filled 10-foot ceiling Craftsman floorplan, from the covered front porch and native-plant garden, to a fenced backyard with lawn, raised beds, and fern garden shaded by a nearby redwood. Renovated with permits over the past 9 years, preserved period features combine with updated electrical, plumbing, rooves, closets, porcelain tile floors and subway tile in kitchens and baths for a turn-key experience without sacrificing character. Split-level step-up to primary bedroom affords privacy and Oakland Hills view; step-down to bonus room opens the possibility of additional bedroom in both 983 and 985 units (as counted in public record), or rec room/office/laundry/storage. Both units are finished to the same exacting standard. Owner unit 983 vacant now; tenant unit 985 vacant effective 6/18. Reno is detailed in disclosures.
