Fantastic Opportunity in the Heart of Oakland’s Vibrant Chinatown! This beautiful Victorian duplex offers 3,494 sq. ft. of living space with incredible potential for both investors and owner-occupants. Each unit features spacious living, parlor, and dining rooms with flexible layouts. The downstairs unit (189) has been tastefully updated with modern finishes and is currently rented, providing immediate income. Adding a touch of whimsy, a unique “Harry Potter room” under the stairs serves as extra storage or a fun hideaway, enhancing the home’s charm and functionality. The upstairs unit (187) offers three bedrooms and is a handyman special, ideal for customization, renovation, or additional rental potential. Originally built in 1902, this classic home showcases high ceilings, abundant natural light, and timeless architectural detail. Located minutes from Downtown Oakland, Lake Merritt, BART, restaurants, and shops, this is a rare value-add opportunity in a vibrant, culturally rich community.
