Description
Fantastic opportunity on a corner lot in East Los Angeles! This 2-bedroom, 1-bath home with a 2-car detached garage and bonus space is ready for vision and creativity—perfect for buyers looking to renovate and make it their own, or for investors and developers seeking a project with big upside. The home sits on a 5,226 sq ft corner lot, offering multiple pathways: remodel and update the existing structure for modern living, convert the detached garage into an ADU for additional income or extended family, or explore redevelopment under California’s SB 9 (Two-Unit Housing Law), which allows for two units on the lot or a potential lot split creating two ~2,613 sq ft parcels, each eligible for up to two primary residences. Buyers are encouraged to verify possibilities with L.A. County Planning. Recent updates include significant plumbing improvements completed in 2024, with all water lines replaced, new ABS piping installed from the house to the driveway, a two-way cleanout added, and the sewer line relined from the home to the main line at the street—offering peace of mind for future ownership. The location is on the rise with ongoing infrastructure improvements along Whittier and Olympic Boulevards and the planned Metro E Line Eastside Transit Corridor Phase 2 extension toward Whittier, enhancing future connectivity and value. Enjoy nearby amenities including Belvedere Community Regional Park and Aquatic Center, Citadel Outlets, The Shops at Montebello, and convenient access to the 60, 5, and 710 freeways. The home is also served by Schurr High School within the Montebello Unified School District, a campus recognized for both academic offerings and a vibrant, diverse student community. For those pursuing higher education, the property is within approximately 30 minutes of both BIOLA University in La Mirada and California State University, Long Beach. And for weekend getaways, coastal escapes like Huntington Beach and Sunset Beach are within easy reach, making beach days a natural extension of Southern California living. Whether you’re an investor looking for development potential or a homebuyer ready to design your dream home, this property delivers rare flexibility in a central East L.A. location.
