With two inviting patios and a majestic Chinese Elm providing natural shade, it’s an ideal setting for entertaining, relaxing, or dining al fresco.

This classic Wilshire Highlands Spanish duplex captures the enduring elegance of 1920s Spanish architecture, reimagined for modern living. Bathed in natural light, the two-story residence spans over 3,100 square feet and celebrates both preservation and thoughtful updates. Original details—arched openings, coved ceilings and handcrafted built-ins—infuse every room with timeless character, while generous proportions create a feeling of effortless comfort. Each unit offers three spacious bedrooms, a graceful living room framed by a large picture window, and an atmosphere that balances vintage charm with contemporary sophistication.

The vacant upstairs unit has been thoughtfully remodeled, blending contemporary updates with classic charm. Original wood flooring has been beautifully refinished throughout, while the refreshed kitchen showcases sleek quartz countertops, updated lighting and hardware, and a delightful breakfast nook that invites morning light.

Each residence includes its own private laundry room for added convenience. Expansive windows on all four sides bathe the interiors in natural light and offer serene views of the tree-lined street. Recent upgrades include updated electrical and sewer systems, a full exterior repaint in 2023, and foundation bolting—providing both owners and tenants with lasting comfort, safety, and peace of mind.

This is an excellent opportunity to own a move-in-ready Spanish duplex that features income potential, abundant outdoor space and timeless architectural character—all in a prime Los Angeles neighborhood.

The airy, remodeled bathroom features a new vanity, original marmoleum and built-ins, providing a perfect blend of modern comfort and old-world charm. A private screened-in balcony offers a tranquil retreat, ideal for enjoying morning coffee or an evening tea.

Outside, additional amenities include a long driveway with room for multiple vehicles and a two-car garage, providing ample storage and parking. The flexible layout makes this an ideal owner-user opportunity, allowing buyers to live in one unit while renting the other to help offset the mortgage or to hold it as a stable investment property. Additionally, the property could be creatively converted into a single-family residence of over 3,000 sq. ft. for those seeking a larger living space.
Situated in the Wilshire Highlands neighborhood, the property is just moments from trendy shopping and dining on Pico, The Grove, Miracle Mile and Midtown Crossing. Its convenient access to Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Culver City, Century City, Downtown Los Angeles, and Santa Monica make it one of the best central locations in the city, ensuring you are always connected to the heart of Los Angeles.
