Discover the perfect blend of charm, income, and location at 1022 Leff Street — a beautifully upgraded duplex tucked into San Luis Obispo’s historic Old Town district. Just blocks from downtown, the train station, parks, cafes, and the iconic Thursday night Farmers' Market, this rare offering sits in one of SLO’s most walkable and desirable neighborhoods. Each 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom unit features 658 sq ft of sun-filled living space with full kitchens, private entrances, private balconies overlooking Bishop Peak, and ample parking in a private 3-car driveway. Recent upgrades include fresh interior and exterior paint, a new roof (Nov 2024), a full remodel of Unit A, stylish updates to Unit B, and a newly slurry-coated driveway. Zoned R3, the property offers valuable upside potential. Whether you're an investor, owner-occupant seeking to house hack, or completing a 1031 exchange, the layout supports multiple income strategies: Airbnb on one side and live on the other, lease both as mid-term rentals, rent to Cal Poly students, or hold as a long-term appreciating asset. With proximity to French Hospital, Cal Poly, Edna Valley Wine Country, and Avila Beach, the location appeals to traveling nurses, visiting faculty, vacationers, and remote professionals alike. A turnkey, income-producing, and rarely available duplex — 1022 Leff is a dynamic opportunity in one of San Luis Obispo’s most in-demand neighborhoods.
