Property Description

A rare opportunity in coveted Mills Gardens for an owner (contractor special) or investor (lucrative project). First time on the market in many years, this classic 1924 single level fixer, just minutes away from all the conveniences of the Laurel District, is rich with character and possibility. This two bedroom, one-bath home needs some TLC to restore it to its full potential, but it already exudes character and charm from the hardwood floors, built-ins, gracious foyer, spacious living and dining rooms with multiple windows and wood burning fireplace. The kitchen/laundry room, when remodeled, could be big and could open onto the level back yard - what everyone wants! There is also a large, detached garage (possible ADU?), extra storage and a long driveway. This home is an ideal project for anyone looking to invest in a vibrant neighborhood where community and convenience come together with nearby cafes, restaurants, shopping, access to transportation and all the trails and hiking in Mills College! This Easy Bay gem is ready for its and YOUR next chapter!
