Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1925, this property is nearly a century old. While the listing notes the owner has maintained it with care and the interior living space shows functional hardwood floors, the overall aesthetic and systems appear dated. There is no evidence of a major renovation within the last 15 years, and the historic preservation status suggests original windows and layouts that likely require modernization of kitchens, baths, and electrical systems to meet current standards.
In the heart of historic Highland Park, 144 S Avenue 57 is a 1925 Spanish Revival fourplex coming to market for the first time in over two decades. One of the oldest neighborhoods in Los Angeles, Highland Park still carries the craftsmanship of its era and this two-story stucco building wears it well, crowned by a distinctive castellated parapet and red clay-tile coping that set it apart from the vintage Craftsman bungalows lining the street. The property sits within the Highland Park–Garvanza Historic Preservation Overlay Zone, helping preserve that character for years to come. The four units total approximately 3,541 square feet on a 4,312-square-foot lot, served by four (4) private garages, one assigned to each unit. Two units offer two (2) bedrooms and one (1) bathroom, and two offer one (1) bedroom and one (1) bathroom. Brick-paved rear garden, shaded by mature fruit trees offers nice outdoor space for a multi-unit property. Owner has taken pride on maintaining property with care!
