As a Tenancy in Common (TIC) residence, the property requires specialized financing and a different legal framework than traditional condo ownership, which may limit the pool of potential buyers.
With only 753 square feet to accommodate two bedrooms and 1.5 baths, the interior layout is relatively small and may feel restrictive for those requiring more generous proportions.
Look at those views! Welcome to an incredible opportunity to own a beautifully updated upper-level 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath Tenancy in Common residence in the heart of Boyle Heights, where indoor/outdoor living meets vibrant city energy. You'll feel right at home under soaring vaulted ceilings, and enjoy a bright, open living space centered around a charming fireplace. The entertainer's kitchen flows seamlessly into the living room, creating the perfect setting for hosting friends or enjoying cozy nights in. Interior laundry and energy-efficient mini-splits provide convenient, zoned heating and cooling for year-round comfort. Through your bedroom window, take in sweeping vistas of lush greenery, the DTLA skyline, and the historic First Street Bridge. Whether you're sipping your morning coffee, tending to your garden, or dining under the stars, a private yard offers a rare taste of serenity in the middle of the city. An urban homesteader's paradise, the outdoor areas feature an array of edible plants like grapes, tomatoes, artichoke, passion fruit, lettuce, and kale, as well as five types of fruit trees! Commuting is a breeze with easy access to freeways and the Metro E Line, as well as close proximity to DTLA. Go for a jog at the nearby Evergreen Track or stop for a cold brew and a mouthwatering breakfast around the corner at Picaresca Cafe. Add to your already excessive plant collection with a visit to Latinx with Plants or finally take that pottery class at Still Life Ceramics Studio. The Arts District is just minutes away for a relaxing Sunday brunch or a spontaneous late night out.
