Garden Sanctuary at 217/223 Mendocino Street

This property is a true oasis in the heart of Vallejo, a gardener's paradise nestled amidst urban life. Imagine owning two meticulously maintained 3-bedroom, 2 bath units, each offering almost 1500 square feet of living space on a spacious 6,500 sq ft lot. Beyond the homes' modern amenities and energy efficient upgrades, the real highlight is the seamless integration of natural beauty, making this property not just a place to live, but a sanctuary.

The lush, low-maintenance drought-tolerant landscaping blooms vibrantly year-round, with every season bringing a fresh display of color. The front yard is a striking tapestry of drought-resistant plants, featuring unique cacti, native species, fragrant desert varieties, and pollinator-friendly plants. Tall Palo Verde trees and a dwarf pomegranate tree offer additional height and color, while a mature Black Walnut stands proudly, adding to the serene atmosphere. In early spring, the front yard transforms into a breathtaking carpet of California poppies, offering a vibrant burst of orange that welcomes the season.

The backyard is equally captivating, providing a variety of private and shared spaces. It includes a dwarf fruit orchard with Meyer lemons, Mission figs, Gala apples, and a Blenheim apricot tree, as well as an herb garden brimming with culinary herbs. Raised garden beds and a large collard tree invite further cultivation of the land, fostering a rich connection to nature right outside your door.

Both units feature east-facing picture windows that frame stunning sunrise views over the Blue Rock Hills, allowing you to start each day immersed in the natural beauty of the landscape. One side of the property is equipped with solar energy, while the other boasts a glass sunroom attached to the kitchen—a perfect space for sun-loving plants or a cozy brunch nook.

Some of the additional benefits include the property's proximity to the San Francisco ferry and easy highway access. Napa Valley is just 20 minutes away and you'll also be near Sonoma, Point Reyes Seashore, San Francisco and more. Nearby amenities include excellent hiking trails, wineries, breweries and Vallejo's vibrant downtown.

There may be an opportunity to add more income potential to this property, too. The ADU potential includes converting the existing garage to an ADU and the lot size may allow another ADU as well.

This is an exceptional opportunity to own a property that perfectly balances sustainability, style, and the tranquility of nature, all within an urban setting. Whether for multi-family living or as a rental investment, this property offers a rare blend of comfort, charm, and a deep connection to the natural world.
