This late-1940s Craftsman triplex is thoughtfully configured with the front residence completely separate from the detached rear duplex, allowing an owner to enjoy the privacy and comfort of a single-family home while rental income from the back contributes toward overall ownership costs. The front home has been recently refreshed with new interior paint, new appliances, updated kitchen and bathroom fixtures, and improved landscaping, creating a move-in-ready living environment. Positioned forward on the lot and visually separated from the rear units, the home offers the livability of a classic single-family residence, while the duplex functions as a discreet income-producing component. Additional features include six parking spaces with easy, unobstructed access for tenants and separate electric and gas utilities for each unit. Located in the heart of Hollywood near Paramount Studios, moments from the shops and cafes of Larchmont Village, and close to the outdoor movie nights, concerts, and cultural events at Hollywood Forever Cemetery, this property offers a rare combination of lifestyle flexibility and long-term investment potential in one of Los Angeles' most dynamic neighborhoods.
