Description
Seller motivated and willing to neogiate! Great property for a large family as this duplex can be converted from a duplex to a house as there is access from the front unit to the rear unit by a closed off hallway. Come and see this rare find in a hot and upcoming area that is a fully vacant legal house/duplex in move-in conditions within a walking distance to USC, the California Science Center, Star Wars Museum, BMO Stadium, Los Angeles Coliseum, lots of entertainment, and nearby freeways. Get ready for the 2028 Olympics that is coming to Los Angeles with several events happening nearby. The rear unit has been rented out to USC students for the last three years paying top dollar. The front unit has never been rented out and his owner occupied. Live in one unit and rent the other, rent out both, or this duplex would be perfect for a large family or two families living together or separate. The owner has spent lots to upgrade both units inside and out, and is ready for the buyer(s) that is looking for a good property with two good sized units, large bedrooms, full bathrooms, with a long driveway with plenty of parking, gated, and has a private rear yard for entertaining. Come and see this great property today!
