Property Description

Welcome to a beautifully upgraded, craftsman-style detached duplex located in one of San Diego's most central locations, Cherokee Point. This is a rare opportunity to own a truly turnkey multi-unit property that offers flexibility, strong rental appeal, and the ideal setup for owner-occupants looking to offset their mortgage through rental income. The front unit (3653) features 2 bedrooms and 1 fully remodeled bathroom, a modernized kitchen with newer appliances, a bonus room, and a bright, functional layout that flows seamlessly to outdoor living. A new front patio and enclosed yard create a welcoming space for relaxing or entertaining, while the backyard boasts a mature orange tree, adding charm and privacy. Comfort upgrades include a mini-split AC system and insulated attic, keeping the home efficient and comfortable year-round. The rear unit (3655) offers 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom and has been thoughtfully updated with newer appliances, new kitchen flooring, and bathroom improvements, making it move-in or rent-ready. Both units enjoy private outdoor space, an increasingly rare feature that enhances tenant desirability and livability. This property has been extensively improved with a focus on long-term durability and low maintenance. Highlights include new water heaters in both units, upgraded appliances, newer fencing, a new porch, and a $10,000+ sewer line replacement, providing exceptional peace of mind for years to come. A shared garage laundry area with a newer washer and dryer offers convenient functionality for both units. Ideally situated near North Park, Kensington, Normal Heights, and City Heights, this property offers easy access to major freeways, dining, coffee shops, and everyday amenities—while still enjoying ample street parking and a residential neighborhood feel. The central location supports strong rental demand and long-term appreciation. Whether you’re a first-time buyer seeking a smart house-hack, an investor looking for a low-overhead, high-demand rental, or someone who values flexibility, 3653–55 37th Street stands out as a compelling opportunity that blends lifestyle, location, and financial strategy.
