7020 Mary Ellen Avenue

Located in North Hollywood West, one of the area's most coveted neighborhoods, this charming 1950s Ranch-style home represents a beloved chapter in Los Angeles architectural history. This house offers a flexible floor plan, is move-in ready, and holds the upside potential for future customization at your leisure. The flexible floor plan offers the unique option to create a Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit (JADU). The garage was converted into a primary bedroom with an en-suite bathroom in 1986 (with permits). Converting this existing space into a JADU may be more feasible and less costly than a standard ADU garage conversion, allowing you to live in one and rent the other. Currently, this bedroom has a separate entrance and is closed off from the main house, but it can easily be reconnected to create an expansive primary suite. Beyond the flexible floor plan, the house has received several significant upgrades, including a recently replaced energy-efficient cool roof, new solar panels, central air conditioning, a refurbished kitchen, and new exterior siding and paint. New landscaping was also installed. $90,000 in energy-efficient upgrades were done in 2018 through the Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) program (solar panels, roof, and electrical panel); the seller will pay these. With good bones and its versatile layout, this property offers a unique opportunity: get into an aesthetically pleasing house in a desirable neighborhood at a reasonable price, without the heavy premium of a fully remodeled flip. Make this your home and catch the early wave of the growing appreciation for the Mid-Century Ranch style.
