One of the original Mediterranean Revivals built by DP Davis in 1926, this 4-plex happily retains many original elements of the era. 3 blocks from the "Boulevard" as the main street is affectionately named where all sorts of cool and delicious places are waiting and 2 blocks from the bridge that takes you to the heart of downtown. Location is everything and 12 Arpieka Ave has that covered! Aficionados of this architecture will love the classic façade, arched entry and clay tile ornamentation. Each floor has 2 apartments with a conditioned central staircase separating them. Downstairs units have been completely renovated to include new flooring, lights and fans, exposed brick chimneys, stacked washer/dryer tucked out of sight, kitchens with white cabinets and black granite, refrigerator, range, microwave, dishwasher, new bathrooms with tiled showers and oversized vanities for welcome storage. Mini-split systems provide whisper-quiet heat and air. Back door in kitchens leads to rear hallway and out to paved parking area for easy access with the groceries. 2nd floor apartments are partially updated with new bathrooms but enjoy original 1920s oak floors with lovely grain. Kitchens have the same back door opening to rear stairway. Each unit has one parking spot in back and Arpieka Ave permits on-street parking. Small greenspace could be utilized for tenant use. Each apartment has separate electric meter and one water meter serves the whole building. You can build cost into rent or bill individually. Vintage building with terrific curb appeal and in great condition, rare dedicated parking, excellent location with fast access to the island main street dotted with lots of innovative food, retail, brewery, butcher, coffee, Anastasia State Park (think beach!) and our beloved Amphitheatre. 2 blocks west takes you over the Bridge of Lions to the center of town. Long-term rentals and short-term stays (minimum 7 days) means you can mix it up. It's a sweet spot indeed.
