Incredible opportunity to own this exquisite one of a kind Tudor-inspired duplex in historic Bluff Heights with incomparable curb appeal. Truly a landmark property in the neighborhood. This 1926 custom built masterpiece, with only two known owners in the last 75 years, blends old-world charm with modern sophistication and offers tremendous versatility in so many aspects. The owner's unit is an expansive two-story, 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence, featuring two spacious primary suites. The primary suite on the first floor could be utilized as a family room or closed off to create a studio space for additional income as it has a separate entrance from the backyard. There is a spacious living room with a breathtaking cathedral beamed ceiling and a formal dining room. The second unit, a 2-bedroom, 1-bath gem, offering endless possibilities as a rental or in-laws quarters. Both homes are move-in ready and showcase elegant Spanish influences, beautifully merging architectural styles of the era. Step inside to discover cove ceilings, graceful archways, custom built-ins, leaded pane glass windows, cast iron railings, deco fixtures along with recent renovations including fresh paint, carpet and stunning recently refinished hardwood floors add a touch of historic grandeur. This property has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully renovated, offering a seamless blend of original craftsmanship and modern conveniences including an abundance of storage and modifications to the foundation (braced & bolted). The remodeled kitchens in both homes feature stone countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a wonderful culinary space. Most windows have been upgraded to dual-pane, and the property benefits from copper plumbing throughout. Both units are equipped with their own laundry areas, and the bathrooms have been beautifully updated, maintaining the architectural integrity. Outside, the private backyard and terrace offer a tranquil retreat. An enclosed two-car carport can easily be converted into a garage, adding further convenience. Considering the Olympics are just four years away, the income possibilities are endless! It's important to note that the architectural integrity of the exterior may qualify for the Mills Act offering significant tax savings to the new owner. Close proximity to the beach, vibrant dining, shopping options, and the iconic Second Street. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of history with all the modern luxuries you desire.
