About this property

Striking Los Angeles duplex! Tucked behind secure gates in the vibrant Vermont Knolls community, this rare property features two fully independent homes—offering an incredible live-one, rent-one or dual-income opportunity with massive long-term upside. Unlike properties that just received a quick coat of paint, these residences are truly transformed. One home has been meticulously rehabbed from top to bottom, while the other is completely brand new. Both homes feature a bright, open 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom layout designed with modern wood-style flooring, recessed LED lighting, crisp neutral paint, and contemporary fixtures throughout. Each home enjoys complete autonomy and maximum privacy, equipped with its own energy-efficient split HVAC system, separate indoor laundry hookups, and a private gated driveway. The spacious kitchens are a chef's delight, offering sleek cabinetry, durable countertops, and ample space for a large dining setup. The bedrooms are generously sized with great closet space, paired beautifully with modern bathrooms featuring new tile work and stylish vanities. Outside, the massive concrete backyard is an absolute premium asset. It boasts highly desirable alley access and secure, multi-vehicle parking that can accommodate a fleet of cars, or recreational toys. It serves as a blank canvas perfect for large-scale outdoor hosting, weekend barbecues, or convenient extra storage. Positioned in an incredibly central, high-demand location, this property is just minutes from USC, local schools, shopping, and public transit. Enjoy immediate access to the I-110, making your daily commute to Downtown LA, Hollywood, and local Southern California beaches completely effortless. Whether you are an investor looking to maximize cash flow or a homeowner wanting a tenant to pay your mortgage, this turn-key property is a must-see!
