865 W I Street, Benicia, CA 94510 (MLS # 326048609)
|
Charming, cottage-y, and full of character, this 1942 Benicia home welcomes you up to a fabulous entry nook, the kind of spot made for a book and a patch of afternoon sun. Inside, a cozy built-in china cabinet and beautifully refinished wood floors in the living and dining rooms carry the warmth of the original home straight through. The kitchen has its own personality entirely, with a sunny skylight, a slatted wood ceiling, and unique cork floors that give it a character you won't find in a builder-grade remodel. Climb the spiral staircase and you're rewarded with crow's nest views of the Straits, a genuine "I can't believe this is here" moment. Downstairs opens up into a large living area and a third bedroom with a full bath, complete with its own private entrance and French doors to the patio, ideal for guests, family, or a work-from-home setup that actually feels separate from the rest of the house. There's also real income opportunity here: a fully legal, currently occupied one-bedroom, one-bath ADU with its own garage and private entry. The main home's two-car garage sits off the alley, with an additional parking space that's easy to gate for security. Add in the playful porthole windows, and you've got a home that's equal parts history and modern convenience - seriously charming from the moment you walk in.
