1038 E. 53rd Street offers a turnkey owner-user and rental-income opportunity in the heart of the Historic Central Avenue district of South Los Angeles. The property features a vacant 3-bed/1-bath home at the front of the lot, fully renovated in 2025; followed by an attached duplex with two renovated one-bedroom units; and a detached rear duplex completed in the same year. Together, the configuration offers a blend of owner-occupancy potential and stable rental income, with updated systems and modern interior finishes throughout. Ownership renovated the front unit to include wood-vinyl flooring, new shaker-style cabinetry, solid-surface countertops, stainless-steel appliances, updated tilework, recessed lighting, and in-unit laundry hookups. The open layout and bright interior create a practical living environment for an owner-user or strong tenant profile. The home also features new mini-split heating and cooling systems, adding energy-efficient climate control. The (4) 1-bed units located in the attached and detached duplexes were newly constructed in 2025 and offer similar interior features. Each unit includes modern cabinetry, stainless-steel appliances, upgraded bath finishes, and recessed lighting. The location places residents within a historic South LA neighborhood with proximity to Central Avenue's commercial corridors, local schools, neighborhood parks, and transit routes connecting to Downtown, USC, Florence, and surrounding employment hubs. The combination of a move-in-ready front unit, recently built rental units, and a straightforward multi-structure layout provides flexibility for both owner-occupants and investors seeking updated housing inventory with limited near-term maintenance needs. With the front home fully renovated in 2025, and the supporting 1-bdrm. units constructed in 2025, the property effectively lives like new construction. The layout, finishes, and condition create an ideal setup for an owner-user seeking updated housing supported by well-finished rental units in a central South LA location.

This centrally located triplex offers an exceptional investment opportunity in the heart of Los Angeles, just minutes from Culver City and Sony Studios. Centrally positioned near the 10 and 405 freeways, the property provides convenient access to many of Los Angeles’ most desirable destinations, including LACMA, The Grove, Rancho Park Golf Course, and nearby bike and walking paths with beach access via Syd Kronenthal Park in Culver City. The property consists of two separate buildings. The front structure is a detached 2-bedroom, 1-bath single-family residence featuring a bonus room - ideal for a home office, playroom, or potential conversion to a third bedroom. The home has been updated with vinyl flooring, smooth ceilings, recessed lighting, and a fenced front yard, offering a private, residential feel. Behind the main house is a separate building with two upgraded 1-bedroom, 1-bath units. These units feature smooth ceilings, recessed lighting, low-maintenance vinyl flooring, modernized kitchens with stainless steel appliances, and in-unit laundry hookups. Each unit has its own address and is separately metered for gas and electricity, enhancing operational efficiency and tenant appeal. For investors, the property offers strong rental demand in a highly desirable submarket, supporting consistent occupancy and long-term appreciation. Additional value-add potential exists through further upgrades to the main house, including possible reconfiguration of the bonus room into a formal third bedroom and bathroom improvements to increase rents and overall asset value. For owner-occupants, this is an ideal opportunity to live in one unit while offsetting the mortgage with rental income from the others - an excellent entry point into income property ownership. Whether your goal is long-term investment, value-add growth, or owner-occupancy with income, this flexible triplex checks all the boxes.
