Description

First time on the market in over 30 years, this contemporary two-unit property in the heart of Highland Park presents a rare investment or owner-user opportunity. The tenant-occupied duplex features two well-laid-out units: Unit 1 offers 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, while Unit 2 includes 2 bedrooms and 1 bath. Both units enjoy private decks with spectacular views of the surrounding hills and neighborhood. Set on a large lot, the property offers potential to add an ADU at the rear (buyer to verify), enhancing future value and income possibilities. Interior highlights include newer kitchens and bathrooms, and recent infrastructure upgrades such as new sewer lines installed earlier this year, complete with an added cleanout line for easier maintenance. Ideally located near some of Highland Park’s most popular coffee shops, restaurants, and boutiques, the home is also close to York Boulevard and Figueroa Street, local parks, hiking trails, and easy access to Downtown Los Angeles, Pasadena, and major freeways. Enjoy a vibrant community known for its arts scene, nightlife, and outdoor activities, all just minutes away. A rare opportunity to own a well-maintained income property in one of Northeast LA’s most desirable neighborhoods.
