There might be nicer duplexes out there, but we sure haven’t seen them. Located in Kerns, the 5th coolest neighborhood in the WORLD, this 1920s extravaganza of charm is perfect for an owner-occupied duplex or an investor looking for a special property. Meticulously maintained and updated, both sides have original hardwood floors, fireplaces flanked by bungalow-required built-ins, box beam ceilings, period appropriate casework and lighting, updated bathrooms and kitchens, skylights to capture all the sun, newer furnaces and AC and tuck under garages (though really you can walk to anything your heart desires). Particular delights per unit: the vacant unit, 438, has elaborate box beam ceilings in the main living area and main floor bedroom, a large west facing window in the living area to capture precious light, a sweet outdoor space with a patio for outdoor dining, a Viking range and a large arch connecting the kitchen to the living room. Unit 430 has amazing south and west exposure, a 2024 kitchen remodel and a large and lovely yard with multiple sitting areas. If you’ve been considering an owner occupied duplex and have been discouraged by the lack of charm and updates, come fall in love with this 1920s duplex that feels like a home.
