Though a beauty in its own right, 687-689 43rd Street really shines with possibilities. This Craftsman-styled bungalow duplex can either give you space for multiple generations to live happily together, or a smart way to offset monthly costs. Set up currently as a 3-bedroom owner's flat and a 1-bedroom parallel flat, the whole space is almost 1,400 sq. ft. with an interior connecting door. All kitchens and bathrooms were refreshed this year, with stainless-steel appliances in the kitchens. New-this-year lighting and paint throughout means it's ready to move in, not to mention the two private laundries. The owners kept great Craftsman details in this charming home, like built-in cabinetry and gleaming hardwood floors. Outdoors, there's a fenced-in space for barbeques or garden dining, with an impressive workshop/studio space in the rear yard and spacious vegetable garden up front. Leave your car in either driveway or sell it, because you may never need it again here. This duplex is minutes from Temescal's restaurants and clubs. The MacArthur BART station is one-third of a mile away, and there's quick access to Hwy. 24, I-80 and 580. With rental income from either side, this two-unit makes homeownership even sweeter.
