Welcome to this charming single-level home with a ton of upside potential. Currently operating as a fully furnished Airbnb, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath property offers turnkey income potential the day you close. Guests love the bright living spaces, updated layout, and unbeatable location minutes from Downtown, South Park, and Golden Hill. The property is also move-in ready, making it ideal for an owner-occupant who wants to live in the main house while unlocking the lot’s potential. The detached oversized 2-car garage already has plumbing—perfect for converting into an ADU for added rental income or mortgage relief. Beyond that, the back portion of the lot is huge, flat, and alley-accessible—a rare combination that makes it easy to add multiple units, expand outdoor living, or create a dream backyard. Neighboring properties have successfully built several apartments on similar lots (buyer to verify feasibility). Whether you’re seeking to move right in, generate immediate cash flow as a furnished rental, planning to mortgage hack with an ADU, or eyeing a larger multi-unit development, this property offers the best of both worlds: comfort today and exceptional potential tomorrow.
