Investor's-or Filmmaker's-dream come true: this rare, historic multi-unit, mixed-use compound includes two residential homes and a detached commercial building, each with its own utility panel (3 electric panels, 3 gas meters). Built in the 1930s and lovingly evolved over the decades, this former neighborhood grocery-affectionately known as El Chisme-was a multi-generational cornerstone of the community, serving locals for over 50 years. In the early 2000s, it transformed again-this time into The Co-op, a vibrant cooperative living project that became home to more than 330 residents: artists, students, healers, and seekers from all walks of life. Set amidst a sculptural landscape, the property includes two homes and a commercial building. Currently configured with seven bedrooms and four bathrooms, it has enjoyed near-zero vacancy for over two decades, thanks to its unbeatable location directly across from the Claremont Colleges and a short walk to the Claremont Village. The former storefront was re-imagined as a flexible venue space, hosting everything from potlucks and open mics to art openings, yoga classes, comedy shows, dance parties, meetings, and workshops"”a vibrant container for creative expression and community connection. Outside, the landscape stuns: a fully established urban permaculture food forest, with dozens of mature trees, edible and medicinal herbs, native cacti, wildflowers, and sculptural stone-and-boulder garden walls. A greenhouse, chicken coop, timber-framed gazebo, and fire circle round out the oasis-an ideal setting for reflection, gathering, or creative retreat. The commercial unit (original store) could be converted into a third home or studio apartment, or reopened as a business or event space (buyer to verify). With mixed-use zoning, a strong rental history, and a soul-rich legacy, the possibilities here are endless.
