Located on a quiet cul de sac is this rare find: TWO charming, updated and very private homes on one tree dappled lot. This is not your every day Eastside duplex. This location feels like an oasis in the city, a neighborhood with many large trees and the sights and sounds of nature, including the trickling of a distant seasonal creek. 1317 SALINAS PLACE the FRONT HOUSE offers two bedrooms, one bath and a bonus room that is currently a dining room, but could be used as another bedroom, den or home office. The updated kitchen is well located and accesses the dedicated laundry room. The house sits well back off the street fronted by a gated courtyard that is fully fenced and offers privacy and abundant outdoor spaces with no street visibility. See more below.. Period architectural features abound in this delightful cottage, which includes oak floors, plenty of natural light, beautifully cased windows, and some of the original 1920s hardware. The front room has a beautiful paned-door-and-window entry, gorgeous wood floors, and built-in cabinetry. This home and the back house have had meaningful updates including paint and newer roofs. 1317 1/2 SALINAS PLACE, BACK HOUSE, 1 BEDROOM: Down the tree-lined driveway and completely separate from the front house, this one-bedroom charmer features a wrap-around deck, spacious interiors, and plenty of natural light. Vaulted ceilings, skylights, and freshly painted walls create a sense of spaciousness in the living room. The eat-in kitchen has plenty of cabinets and a large window with views to the outdoor dining area. The bedroom has new luxury vinyl flooring, a wall of windows and a sliding glass door to the private patio. Gorgeous date palm trees stand stately above the outdoor deck. This is a magical location that is surprisingly private, tucked into it's own little slice of nature. You have to see it to understand. There is even a teardrop trailer that was once used as a guest room and provides ample storage.
