Nestled in a quiet El Segundo neighborhood, this well-maintained triplex sits on a 7,268 sq ft R2 lot and offers strong income potential. The property features three units: two 1-bed/1-bath units and one 2-bed/1-bath unit. The property has a history of steady and reliable rental income. A major value-add opportunity is in progress: plans and permits are underway for a two-story 2-bed/2-bath ADU (approx. 1,200–1,300 sq ft, pending city approval). All permit fees have been paid by the seller, and documentation from the Assessor’s Office is available upon request. This is a rare chance to invest in a turnkey property with immediate upside potential.
