Description
1251 N Commonwealth gets the Los Angeles duplex formula right. A classic craftsman up front, a separate rear home in back, and a big central outdoor space tying it all together. The front unit offers 2 bedrooms and 2 baths with a true living room, dining area, and full kitchen. The rear unit adds another 2 bedrooms and 1 bath with its own covered deck and efficient layout. Set on a deep R2 lot, the property also benefits from a long driveway, solid parking, and a location that puts Sunset Junction, Silver Lake, Virgil Village, Los Feliz, Hollywood, and Downtown all within easy reach. Flexible, functional, and full of opportunity, this is the kind of property that works as a straight investment, an owner-user play, or a live-in-one, rent-the-other house hack in one of the city’s most central pockets. Approx. 1,898 sq ft per tax roll. * Some of the photos have been digitally staged.
