46 Alabama Street, Vallejo, CA 94590

Two houses on one lot near the Napa River. These homes are a contractor special but for the right buyer, they will provide great value. The front home (46 Alabama St) is a 3/1 with a large basement. The back home (813 Butte St) is a 2/1. They share a garage. There are two large and beautiful Live Oaks on the property and Dolores Huerta Park (the marina park) is a block away. The property has legal historic status as a contributing member in the Saint Vincents Historic Hill District. 46 Alabama appears on the Sanborn Maps for the first time in 1901, but the home probably dates to the 1880's. This status may make it eligible for various grants and tax breaks. This front home has a wrap-around porch, which is pretty fun. It is now a Craftsman, but was originally a Victorian Italianate. The original Italianate had an addition to in the back, the whole building was raised to make room for a comfortable basement, and then the building was tricked out as a Craftsman. The original Italianate is still inside the building. It is most easily seen in the way the living room ceiling slopes away from the front of the home (a very typical Italianate feature). The back home is a comfortable cottage. Both structures need significant work, but the potential is there to have two great rentals for the price of one. Grab your tools and get ready to remodel.
