Property Description

Step onto the lawn and feel the city fade, this is your private corner-lot refuge in Vermont Knolls, surrounded by single-family homes and that unmistakable pride of ownership. French doors invite you into a backyard that blooms with mature passion fruit, roses, bougainvillea, jasmine, vegetable beds, a pergola, and a fire pit, an easy place to host, unwind, and exhale. Inside, timeless 1935 details, original dark hardwood floors, crown molding, and built-ins, pair beautifully with big-ticket upgrades (2023) including a remodeled kitchen, custom-tiled bathroom, newer electrical, newer copper plumbing, a newer sewer line re-pipped to the street, newer HVAC, water heater, and sprinklers. The main residence spans approximately 1,789 square feet, unfolding into a light-filled, well-proportioned layout with room to breathe and live comfortably. The home features 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, including a true primary suite with an attached en-suite bath. And then the bonus that changes everything: a fully permitted 324 square foot studio ADU with its own address (1330 W. 81st), equipped with its own ductless mini-split heating and cooling system, full bathroom, kitchenette, in-unit laundry, and smart security, perfect for guests, work-from-home flexibility, or income potential. Minutes from LAX, SoFi Stadium (host site for the 2026 FIFA World Cup and home of the 2028 Olympic Games), The Forum, and Hollywood Park. A rare opportunity to own privacy, character, and income potential in one of South LA's most established neighborhoods. Ready to make it your own? The next move is yours.
