Live in one, let the other work for you. Tucked on a corner lot in one of Northeast LA's most sought-after neighborhoods, this 1924 California bungalow duplex offers something genuinely rare: a move-in-ready remodeled home with built-in help on the mortgage. The vacant unit was reimagined in 2022 with a light touch and a sharp eye, an open, airy layout with the kind of easy flow that feels effortlessly California. The kitchen was refreshed with new countertops, backsplash, and hardware; the bathroom got a full makeover with tiled shower and glass enclosure; new windows let the light pour in; and in-unit washer/dryer and recessed lighting round out a space that's ready from day one. Step outside to outdoor space that was actually designed to be lived in: a fire pit area anchored by concrete pavers and string lights, fresh landscaping, a front yard tree, a rear privacy hedge, and newly installed fencing and gates. The second unit is currently leased, generating income from day one, with its original character intact and meaningful upside over time. The detached garage has been finished into a bright, recessed-lit workspace, currently used as a home office and creative retreat, flexible bonus space for work, studio, or creative use. A driveway offers off-street parking, a small thing that matters enormously in this neighborhood. All of it just moments from the restaurants, coffee shops, and weekend energy of York Boulevard and Figueroa Street. Move into the remodeled unit and let Highland Park help pay for itself.
