Description

Her beauty might be a bit faded but her highly desirable Normal Heights location north of Adams and her future potential are bright. She could use some updating, TLC, and cash but opportunities abound with this well-loved 3-unit property. A charming cottage with 2 bedrooms/1 bath; a back home with 1 bedroom/1 bath; and a converted garage converted into a studio with kitchen and bath that is not currently permitted as habitable space. Off street and off-alley parking for all units. 6679 square foot lot. The charming 2 bedroom/1 bath front house (4881) has carefully-tended landscaping in the front yard. Original wood windows and hard wood floors match her original kitchen. Plus, lovely natural light in the living room. The backyard is astro-turfed with a small brick patio and a treacherous beauty of a ficus tree. That ficus has created some issues with the foundations of both the front and back houses although both have been enthusiastically continuously rented for years in their current condition. Which is how this property is going to be sold; in its current condition. There is incredible potential for improvement here. Three SDG&E meters and 1 water meter. There is an old wooden garage on the front portion of the property that has been used for storage for the front house. And a long driveway with parking for 2 plus cars. On the back portion of the lot is the one bedroom/1 bath house (4883) with alley access, a cozy brick side patio and a small entry/patio in front. I can’t lie; the back 1 BR house is a bit tired and needs some love. And a new roof. And heat. And a new bathtub and new flooring, along with some other improvements to enhance her tiny charm. And then there is the third “unit”, the studio, the wild card. 4879—which may or may not be a legitimate city-building department assigned street address although it does get mail delivery for that address to its mailbox attached to the front house. It is a newer garage structure (maybe 2018?), and the rumor is that it was permitted as a “craft room”. Whether the small bathroom and kitchen were included in the original craft room design is unknown. Its garage door is still intact though latched in place. There is parking behind the studio/garage/unit for at least one car on the garage apron. 4881-4883 33rd is a unique property with lots of potential for an investor/buyer with cash and foresight.
