Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This duplex offers two separate residences with a practical live-in or rental setup. The upper unit is a vacant 2-bedroom home, providing immediate move-in or rental flexibility. The downstairs unit is tenant-occupied and features 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The property includes separate utility meters, with all utilities paid by the tenants.

Outside, both units benefit from well-maintained yard areas, including fruit trees. The downstairs unit also has a private backyard BBQ area. Each unit has its own separate laundry area. Parking is provided via garages, with the downstairs unit receiving 2-car garage parking and the upstairs unit receiving 1-car garage parking.

The location supports commuter convenience, with walking access to BART and quick access to Interstate 880 and Interstate 580. Nearby shopping and dining are also described as accessible. For investors or owner-occupants, the combination of a vacant unit and a tenant-occupied unit can support flexible occupancy planning, while the separate utility metering helps keep operating expenses tenant-paid.
