Craving timeless architecture with modern ease in one of LA's most accessible neighborhoods? This rare 1917 duplex combines period details with refined updates just south of Franklin Blvd, behind a gated hedge-lined garden surrounded by mature trees. Both townhouse-style residences, one of which is vacant, span two levels and feature two bedrooms, two baths, in-unit laundry, personal patios, and designated parking. You'll find an effortless blend of character and comfort, from the neutral palette to the thoughtful layout. Wide-plank floors, classic millwork, and vintage touches flow throughout, while bright windows bathe each corner in natural light. The kitchens are beautifully functional with sleek countertops, ample cabinetry, and a full suite of appliances, ready for weekday meals and weekend hosting.

Each unit also features access to a large unfinished attic space via the primary bedroom — a blank canvas brimming with potential. Whether you imagine a new primary bedroom, a yoga studio, guest retreat, or expansive storage, the possibilities are endless.

The vacant owner's unit includes a detached studio, ideal as an office or creative escape, and an expansive flat backyard framed by foliage with a pergola-covered terrace perfect for relaxed alfresco celebrations under the stars. This property is within walking distance of all the beloved shops and restaurants along Vermont Blvd and Barnsdall Art Park, which is ideal for morning strolls or weekend picnics. If you’re looking for an incredible character duplex in a great location, this property has your name on it. First time on the market in 20 years!
