3188 Atwater

The Castle on Atwater Avenue-that is how the neighbors over the years refer to the Spanish Moorish design of this eclectic property. Enter the large vacant two bedroom two bath lower unit through the classic rotunda to a beautifully beamed living room, arched framed French windows, original hardwood floors and unique piece of art decorative fireplace with original clinker brick. The large dining room with original crown molding is just off the kitchen which has access to the landscaped fenced back yard. The first floor is complete with a bedroom and vintage turquoise tiled bath with beautiful Moroccan archways. A well designed primary bedroom and ensuite bath are up a few stairs complete with a natural stone floor and hand hewn beam ceiling. Originally a single family home, in 1938 it was converted to a duplex with a one bedroom one bath unit carved out of the upstairs bedrooms. Sunlight drought tolerant back yard. Around the corner on Minneapolis Street find a magical third unit - a stand alone Mid Century Modern home, built in 1959. This spacious one bedroom home keeps to its design roots with high beamed ceilings, paneled walls and clean lines. The property offers a two car garage with four parking spaces at the duplex and a carport offering two off street spaces for the mid century home. Move right in to the largest unit and benefit from the rent of the other two units or start your real estate empire. Great location - steps away to the beloved Sunday Famers Market, Atwater's amazing restaurants, bars and shopping.
