Charming duplex located on a desirable block in Downtown's West Shoreline area, located six short blocks from the center of Castro Street and its many attractions. This property has a one-bedroom, one-bathroom unit on each side, which are mirror image each other, and still retain much of their original charm, plus many essential improvements: Double hung dual pane windows, newer water heaters, newer electrical panels, split-unit heating/cooling units, new exterior paint, and was re-pipe with copper plumbing in 2014. Due to the building's shape (which resembles a house from the exterior), it makes a good candidate for conversion into a single-family home and/or expansion. Lots of options! Purchase and continue using as a rental income property, also attractive to fixer-upper enthusiasts, buy with a partner, and each partner has their own unit, or live in one unit, and rent the other. Beautifully landscaped lot that offers expansion potential, plus features a private backyard with two separate entry gates off the driveway: Continue with the current shared yard, or easily install a dividing fence to create separate yards for each unit. The previous tenant of 495 was known to have hosted many parties in the past, so it was used as a private sanctuary and for entertaining guests.
