Exceptional and hard-to-find real estate opportunity featuring two detached homes situated on a massive, deep 0.41-acre parcel (80 x 223 lot dimensions) in Modesto! This unique property delivers incredible value, flexibility, and real estate options, featuring two separate legal addresses (916 Elm Ave and 918 Elm Ave) along with completely independent utility meters and private, individual access for each home. The primary residence welcomes you with a functional and spacious 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom layout encompassing approximately 1,015 square feet of comfortable living space, complete with central heating and air conditioning for year-round comfort. The separate, detached second residence features a practical 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom footprint of approximately 550 square feet, making it an ideal setup for extended multi-generational living, a completely private home office workspace, or excellent long-term rental potential. Outside, the expansive lot provides an abundance of open space that is becoming increasingly rare to find in town.

Towards the rear, the property shines with convenient alley access equipped with a wide double-gate entry, making it an absolute dream layout for seamless RV parking, boat storage, or work vehicle accommodation. Both detached structures feature a cute as a button classic cottage exterior appeal, offering a fantastic canvas to personalize, add value, and unlock the incredible equity potential waiting inside. Properties offering this level of space, total utility independence, separate addresses, and dual-living capabilities are rarely available on the market. Take advantage of a truly unique configuration that matches a variety of modern lifestyle designs. Offers will be entertained after the property has been exposed on the MLS for 7 calendar days.
