Welcome to this versatile Craftsman duplex in the heart of Rockridge — one of the East Bay’s most sought-after neighborhoods. With rich architectural character and thoughtful updates throughout, this property offers the flexibility to function as a spacious single-family home or as an income-producing duplex. Classic Craftsman details abound blending seamlessly with modern upgrades. The upper unit features 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, a remodeled kitchen and baths (2014), a recently redone upper deck, and a sunny office with loft space. The lower unit, highlighted by original woodwork, box-beam ceilings, and built-ins, offers 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom with a newly renovated kitchen and bath. A bonus work studio below provides an ideal flex space for a home office or art studio. Enjoy fresh landscaping, low-maintenance turf in the backyard, and newly paved front and side yards— perfect for easy outdoor living. Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac next to Frog Park, and just blocks from BART, the Rockridge farmers market, and College Avenue’s vibrant shops and restaurants, this property presents a rare opportunity to own a slice of historic charm in an unbeatable, walkable location.
