Located in the heart of Japantown, 873 N 5th Street is a beautifully renovated property that perfectly blends timeless character with modern luxury and versatile living. The main home has been fully remodeled into an open-concept design featuring new plumbing, electrical, roof, flooring, and designer finishes, while preserving original character elements including the front door, front window, and fireplace, now plumbed for gas. The chef’s kitchen showcases quartzite countertops, high-end custom cabinetry, and top-of-the-line Wolf, Sub-Zero, and Bosch appliances. Smart home upgrades include smart exterior lighting, sprinkler systems, Nest security, smart thermostat, smart shades, and gigabit fiber with Cat6 wiring throughout both the main home and ADU.The fully rebuilt garage and newly constructed ADU, completed in 2023, provide exceptional flexibility for multigenerational living, rental income, or a private office retreat. The garage level also features a custom gym with rubber flooring, built-in shelving, a half bath, and dramatic slide-away doors for the ultimate indoor/outdoor experience.Outdoor living is equally impressive with accordion doors opening to a newly completed deck, high-end pavers, a freestanding sauna, mature high-producing orange tree, newly fruiting avocado tree, and recently replaced fencing, creating a truly turnkey and one-of-a-kind Japantown property. The home also features basement access from the primary closet, perfect for a wine cellar or additional storage.
