Property Description

986 East 51st is a charming Craftsman-influenced California bungalow duplex in South LA, offered at $749,000 with one unit delivered vacant. Built in 1912, the property totals approx. 1,937 SF and is comprised of a downstairs 3-bdrm./2-bath residence and a separate upstairs 1-bdrm./1-bath unit. The property has the warmth and scale of an early LA bungalow, with a covered front porch, gabled roofline, wood-sided exterior, mature landscaping, and a residential feel that gives it more character than a typical duplex. The downstairs 3-bdrm./2-bath unit has been updated with wood-style flooring, kitchen cabinetry, granite countertops, tile flooring in the kitchen, updated bathroom fixtures, and central A/C. The upstairs 1-bdrm. unit has also been updated and is vacant, giving a buyer the ability to move in, lease it at market rent, or decide how they want the property to work for them from day one. A rear carport, on-site parking area, and private yard space add everyday functionality for tenants or an owner-user. Located near Central Ave, Avalon Blvd, Vernon Ave, and the 110 Freeway, 986 East 51st Street sits within a South Los Angeles neighborhood setting with access to local retail, transit corridors, and major city anchors. The property is also approx. 3 miles east of USC, Exposition Park, USC Village, BMO Stadium, the LA Memorial Coliseum, The Shrine Auditorium, and nearby museums and public spaces. 986 East 51st Street offers a character-rich duplex with immediate flexibility, giving buyers a practical entry point into real estate ownership and long-term portfolio building.
