Rare opportunity to own a charming North Sacramento cottage on a large lot with highly coveted R-3-R (Multi-Unit Dwelling) zoning-offering a unique blend of homestead-style urban living today and exceptional development upside for tomorrow. This move-in-ready 2-bedroom house features an airy, light-filled layout with a refined mix of carpet, hardwood, and tile flooring. The updated kitchen and bath showcase granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, dual granite bathroom sinks, and LED lighting throughout. Year-round comfort is provided by an efficient HVAC system with 220V electric heating and air conditioning, along with radiant heating. The primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet with mirrored doors, adding both style and functionality. Outside, the property shines further. The fully fenced, expansive yard with green lawn is ideal for homestead living, kitchen gardening and urban farming, with ample space for raised garden beds, fruit trees, growing herbs and organic vegetables, composting, rainwater collection, keeping pets; outdoor dining, and peaceful relaxation. Whether you envision a self-sustaining garden, weekend farm-to-table meals, or a private green retreat, this property supports a lifestyle that is increasingly rare within city limits. The wide lot configuration also accommodates RV parking, workshops, accessory structures, or future additions, making it equally appealing for those seeking space, flexibility, and long-term value. From an investment and development perspective, R-3-R zoning unlocks powerful potential. The parcel allows for multi-unit housing (duplex, triplex, fourplex, or more), with up to 50% lot coverage, equating to an approximate 3,267 sq. ft. building footprint and ~6,500+ sq. ft. of potential buildable floor area with two stories (buyer to verify). Ideally located near Natomas, approximately 5 miles north of Downtown Sacramento, with quick access to I-80, neighborhood parks, schools, shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences-perfect for commuters, tenants, and lifestyle buyers alike. Whether you're a homestead-minded owner-occupant, first-time buyer, or investor/developer seeking rare multi-unit zoning with underlying land value, this property offers space, zoning, and versatility that are increasingly difficult to find.
