Los Angeles, CA 90026 1409 Laveta

Set on one of Echo Park’s most iconic palm-lined streets, this 1921 Spanish-style duplex offers a rare opportunity to create something extraordinary. Elevated on a spacious 7,000+ square foot lot, the property captures breathtaking city views—including the Griffith Observatory and Hollywood Sign—while offering privacy, character, and serious upside. The structure features two units: the upper unit has been partially framed out with newer windows and updated systems, while the lower unit remains largely unfinished. Both spaces are vacant and ready for your transformation. Whether you’re an investor looking to maximize rental potential or a creative homeowner dreaming of converting the top unit into a single-family residence with a rear ADU (buyer to verify), the layout and lot size provide unmatched flexibility. Classic Spanish details like wood beams, arched entries, and colorful tilework hint at the home’s original charm, while the exposed framing, open floorplans, and improved infrastructure invite a modern reimagining. The gated lot includes a private driveway, terraced patio, lower sport court, and plenty of outdoor space to entertain or expand. Located just minutes from Elysian Park, Dodger Stadium, and Echo Park’s best shops, cafés, and hidden trails, this address blends old-Hollywood hillside vibes with endless opportunity. Whether you're restoring, rebuilding, or developing, this is a blank canvas in one of LA’s most beloved neighborhoods.
