Property Detail
Description
First Time on the Market Since 1957 - Classic Mid-Century Dingbat-Style 8-Unit Property. Step into Los Angeles history with this rare opportunity to own a true 1957 classic. This two-story, eight-unit apartment building embodies the iconic Dingbat style of mid-century architecture, complete with charming retro appeal and clean geometric lines. Owned by the same family since its construction, this is the first time it's ever been offered for sale. Each unit features a private balcony, and the rear two-bedroom unit includes a private backyard - an especially rare amenity in this type of property. Covered carport parking and on-site laundry offer convenience for tenants. A standout feature of this building is the original 1950s Youngstown Kitchens, featuring powder-coated steel cabinetry that adds vintage charm and durability. These highly collectible kitchens are a favorite among mid-century modern enthusiasts. The property is also fully compliant with California's Earthquake Retrofit Mandate, offering peace of mind and long-term structural security for the next owner. Pride of long-term ownership is evident throughout, and the building offers both stability and upside potential. Located in a desirable rental market with great walkability and transit access, this is a prime value-add opportunity for investors or preservation-minded buyers.
