Location, Location, Location! This Silver Lake detached duplex is a rare opportunity; whether you are seeking to owner occupy one and rent the other or seeking to max out rental income through improvements and renovations because BOTH units are VACANT! High desirability is further amplified because both structures feature ample private outdoor space with no shared walls for optimal entertaining.The spacious main house built in 1954 has great bones and measures at 2,288 sq. ft. on two levels. The front yard, as well as the rest of the landscaped areas of this nearly 8,000 sq. ft. lot features mature trees, drought tolerant gardens and native plants. Freshly painted exterior and interior compliment the natural tile on the gas fireplace hearth and refinished hardwood floors. Large, nearly floor to ceiling casement windows in the living room frame the hills in the distance, while the French doors and side windows in the dining room bring in an abundance of natural light in the home. Just off the dining room, the eat-in galley kitchen features a bay of windows for an informal breakfast area. Located on the main floor are also the primary bedroom with direct bathroom access and the second sizable bedroom. Downstairs is the third bedroom and spacious bonus room separated by the laundry area along with the second bathroom. While we love the colorful bathroom tiles, the original bathrooms and kitchen provide an opportunity for the new owner to re-imagine, renovate, or re-invent these spaces and create immediate additional value! Modern meets retro in the two-story back house measuring at 950 sq. ft. The hardwood floors, large picture windows, arched doorways and a spiral staircase immediately impress as you enter from the main entrance on the upper level. The eat-in kitchen includes a refrigerator, dishwasher and vintage Wedgewood stove and a side door that leads down to the unit's private backyard. The perfect place to relax or entertain! Although this is a one bedroom the entire lower level is a large bonus room that can be used as a second bedroom, office or den. On this level you will also find a full sized washer and dryer, closet and half bath with a private entrance. Adjacent is a single car garage and large storage room. Nearby conveniences include, Whole Foods, Frogtown Brewery, LA River Bike Path, Silver Lake Meadow and Reservoir, Red Lion Tavern, Gingergrass, Silver Lake Wine, Dodger Stadium, and much more.
