About this home
Nestled in the heart of Normal Heights, this fully remodeled Craftsman-style duplex is a rare and versatile opportunity for homeowners and investors alike. Situated on an expansive lot with excellent separation between the two units, the property offers incredible flexibility, privacy, and income potential in one of San Diego’s most walkable and desirable neighborhoods. The front home is a beautifully preserved Craftsman bursting with charm and character, featuring original hardwood floors, detailed built-ins, classic millwork, and thoughtful architectural touches that showcase its historical roots. While it maintains its vintage appeal, the home has been completely upgraded for modern living—including a show-stopping kitchen with beautiful cabinetry, quartz counters, stainless steel appliances, and high-end finishes. Every system has been updated, including plumbing, electrical, HVAC, ensuring worry-free ownership for years to come. Tucked privately toward the back of the lot, the detached second unit is equally impressive. Fully remodeled with $3,200/mo in potential rental income, it offers a turnkey solution for those looking to offset their mortgage, host extended family, or capitalize on San Diego’s strong rental market. With its own private access off the alley and two dedicated off-street parking spaces, it feels like a standalone home—ideal for long-term tenants or short-term guests. All of this is steps from the vibrant culture of Adams Avenue, with its eclectic shops, top-rated restaurants, and community events that define the neighborhood!
