About This Home
Located in the highly sought-after Alvarado Terrace Historic District of Pico-Union, this early-1900s Craftsman presents an exceptional restoration and investment opportunity. Offering approximately 1,331 square feet of living space on a 6,250-square-foot LARD1.5-zoned lot, the property features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a large basement with potential for additional living space, a guest suite, or an ADU—subject to city approval, zoning requirements, and historic-district guidelines. The tenant-occupied residence is presently configured with two independent living areas. The front section includes two bedrooms and one bathroom, while the rear section offers one bedroom and one bathroom. A long central corridor, original character, and large double doors highlight the home’s unique Craftsman-era design.

With renovation and restoration, the property may offer significant upside potential.
