    What's special

    This 1924 Leimert Park gem is bursting with character, charm, and serious upside. Owned by the same family for over 73 years. This 2-bedroom, 2-bath home offers a rare blend of original architectural detail and investment potential. The sunlit living room has classic archways, an Ernest Batchelder tiled fireplace, and new floors that flow into a formal dining room. The kitchen is functional with new stainless steel appliances and a new stove, ready for upgrades to match your vision. One bedroom includes its own ensuite for added privacy, while the spacious primary suite has room to relax or work. A generous backyard with a large deck sets the stage for entertaining, gardening, or future expansion. The detached two-car garage, long driveway, and bonus space work shed offer added versatility ideal for an ADU, studio, or extra storage. Set on a large lot in one of LA's most vibrant and historic neighborhoods, you're minutes from BMO Stadium, the Metro, DTLA, Culver City, and local landmarks like Leimert Park Village. You're just minutes from great local spots like Tak's Coffee Shop, Harun Coffee, Ackee Bamboo, and the popular cafe Highly Likely, all making this a true destination for great food and local flavor. Whether you're restoring it for yourself or reimagining it for strong return, this is a rare opportunity with heart, history, and potential. Don't miss this one before it is gone!!
