Exceptional opportunity to own a sophisticated residence that lives like a single-family home while offering the rare advantage of substantial income potential. Located on a well-appointed lot with an expansive, landscaped backyard and a 2-car garage, 828 S Bell Ave seamlessly blends timeless design, modern luxury, and smart investment value. The main residence features 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms with curated finishes throughout. A stunning primary suite serves as a true retreat, highlighted by a newly renovated spa-caliber ensuite bath completed in 2025 that exudes luxury and refinement. Thoughtfully updated interiors include newly refinished and stained oak flooring, fresh paint throughout the entire home (2025), designer Phillip Jeffries wallpaper, a striking new chandelier, and a re imagined fireplace completed in 2025. The chef's kitchen, completely renovated, is anchored by exquisite Marfa custom cabinetry and showcases quartz countertops with full-height quartz backsplash, premium Bosch appliances, double ovens, warming drawer, drawer microwave, beverage refrigerator, and exceptional custom functionality designed for both entertaining and everyday living. The adjacent powder room was also renovated in 2022. The lower-level walkout is a legally zoned 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment complete with in-unit laundry and currently tenant occupied, offering a rare opportunity for added flexibility while preserving privacy for the main home. Outside, the professionally landscaped backyard offers an exceptional extension of the home with ample space for entertaining, dining, and outdoor enjoyment, a true urban oasis. Additional improvements and features include Pella windows throughout, all appliances updated in 2022, washer replaced in 2025, dryer in 2022, and dual HVAC systems with separate AC units for the main home and lower-level apartment, both professionally serviced twice annually.
