A simple facelift on the facade would transform everything, and the location alone makes this property a standout.The downstairs unit features a spacious living room with a fireplace, hardwood floors, and a large, updated kitchen with ample cabinets and in-unit laundry facilities. There's a full bath, a good-sized bedroom, and a second bedroom that works perfectly as an office. Neat, clean, and ready to go.The upstairs unit will surprise you even more: vaulted ceilings in the living room, a cozy fireplace, and a balcony with views stretching all the way to Downtown Los Angeles. A large kitchen, a spacious bedroom, and a full bathroom complete the space. Additionally, the upstairs tenant has exclusive use of the two-car garage, which is currently converted into a home gym with laundry facilities, and enjoys two additional parking spaces in front.With rents increasing on October 1, minimal upkeep thanks to the smaller lot, and a location that is hard to beat, just two blocks from Montrose Shopping Park, steps to bus transportation, and mere moments to the 210 freeway, you'll quickly see why this is a hidden gem.This is a sleeper opportunity. Please don't dismiss it from the curb, come inside, and see what's waiting.
