Inviting Sunlit Duplex

725 Haddon Place Oakland, California 94610 United States

Located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, in close proximity to shopping centers and restaurants, this inviting, sunlit duplex is a great opportunity. Set on a lot with approximately 4,000 square feet, the property includes two units, each with two bedrooms, numerous large windows and original oak floors.

Built in 1916, the residence has all the character and charm that epitomize older properties: high ceilings in all the rooms, glass doorknobs, crown moldings and thick baseboards are just a few of the highlights. A wood burning fireplace with a beautiful marble surround creates a focal point in the renovated lower unit’s spacious, open concept dining area/living room, which also features clerestory windows, neo classical molding and built-in shelving.

Both kitchens have modern appliances, lots of counter/cabinet space, and a nearby breakfast nook with abundant natural light. Stylish and attractive, the lower unit kitchen has an elegant quartz backsplash and countertop, a high-end gas range and walls of bespoke cabinetry with glass insets. The nearby master bedroom in the lower unit has French doors that open to a deck for grilling/sunbathing; the updated bathroom has extensive frosted glass and lots of natural light, making it a perfect place to start or finish the day. A laundry area in the lower unit with a large washer/dryer, a laundry closet in the upper unit with a stackable washer and dryer, a large unfinished basement and an expansive private deck in the backyard add to the appeal.

Enjoy a stroll on the sidewalks in this well-established neighborhood to local favorites such as Shakewell, Arizmendi, Lakeshore Farmers Market, take a fun bike ride to Lake Merritt, Grand Lake Kitchen or Trader Joe’s, quickly access local freeways, transit options and centers of employment, or just relax in the sunny living room in one of the units and think about how the other unit is allowing you to build equity while you go about your day.

Whether choosing to live in one unit and rent the other, to capitalize on owner-occupant friendly down payments, or opting to purchase solely as an investment property, the property has a solid potential to make a positive impact on your future. Considering that interest rates remain at or near historic lows, and a signed lease in hand for one of the units could possibly allow you to qualify for a larger purchase amount compared to a single family home or condo, the time to purchase this well-located residence is now.
