This freshly painted duplex in Boyle Heights sits on a 7,499-square-foot lot zoned LARD1.5, offering a functional two-unit setup with significant long-term development potential. The detached front house features a light-filled three-bedroom, two-bathroom layout with an open floor plan, hardwood floors, recessed lighting, large closets, and a bonus office room with dedicated laundry hookups. The back unit provides a two-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom living space with a renovated kitchen, its own laundry hookups, and bright recessed lighting, making it ideal to rent out while living in the front. There is no garage on the property, but residents can park multiple cars in the long, shared tandem driveway, and both units utilize private basement spaces for out-of-sight storage. Strategically located for professionals, the property is minutes from the USC Health Sciences Campus and Los Angeles General Medical Center (formerly LAC+USC), with quick access to the I-10, 710, and I-5 freeways for fast commutes to Downtown LA and Dodger Stadium. Additionally, the LARD1.5 zoning provides the future option to build up to four primary townhomes and three bonus units, which the buyer must verify directly with the city.
