Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1911, the property shows significant signs of age with no evidence of recent renovations. Interior photos reveal a deteriorating bathroom vanity with peeling finishes and dated carpeting/fixtures likely over 40 years old, indicating the need for a full rehab to address deferred maintenance.
The duplex configuration with two separate homes (3BR/1BA and 2BR/1BA) offers excellent flexibility for rental income, multigenerational living, or owner-occupancy to offset mortgage costs.
Each residence features its own private driveway, providing rare off-street parking and distinct access points that are highly valued in high-density Los Angeles neighborhoods.
Situated in Boyle Heights near major freeways and Downtown LA, the property offers exceptional accessibility for commuters and is within walking distance to local schools and parks.
Originally constructed in 1911, the property may require significant updates or ongoing maintenance to aging systems such as electrical, plumbing, or foundation.
With only one bathroom per unit, the layout may be less appealing to modern families or tenants, particularly in the larger three-bedroom residence where a second bath is typically expected.
Welcome to 919 & 921 S. Bernal Avenue, a versatile duplex opportunity in the heart of Los Angeles’ vibrant area. This property offers two separate homes on one lot, ideal for multigenerational living, an owner-occupant seeking rental income, or an investor looking to add a flexible income-producing asset to their portfolio. The front residence features 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, providing comfortable living space for a family, guests, or tenants. The rear home offers 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, creating a private second residence with its own distinct living arrangement. Each home has its own driveway, a valuable convenience that supports privacy, separate access, and off-street parking for both households. The layout offers outstanding flexibility. Live in one home while renting the other to help offset monthly payments and make homeownership more manageable. The property may also suit extended-family or multigenerational living, allowing loved ones to remain close while maintaining their own independent space. For investors, the two-unit configuration presents the potential for dual rental income and long-term value in a centrally located Los Angeles neighborhood. Conveniently positioned near major freeway connections, the property provides accessible commuting options to Downtown Los Angeles, surrounding employment centers, and other parts of the city. Residents can enjoy proximity to everyday shopping, local markets, dining options, schools, neighborhood parks, and community amenities. An elementary school and nearby parks are within walking distance, adding everyday convenience for families, outdoor recreation, and neighborhood enjoyment. Whether you are looking for a home with room for family, an income-producing opportunity, or both, 919 & 921 S. Bernal Avenue delivers flexibility, functionality, and the advantages of two homes in one Los Angeles location.
