Hollywood Craftsman Compound. Stand-alone California Bungalow home with detached duplex a block from Paramount Studios. Tucked behind a lush jacaranda tree in the heart of Hollywood, this home presents a rare opportunity to live, create and entertain across three beautifully appointed residences. Anchored by a charming freestanding three-bedroom, two-bath bungalow, with generous covered porch, hardwood flooring and fireplace. A detached rear duplex offers an additional two-bedroom residence plus a one-bedroom residence, each with their own laundries and lock-up garage parking. The home and both units feature remodeled kitchens, bathrooms and flooring, each unit with separate electric and gas utilities. The gated, hardscaped surrounds serve as ample parking (6 spaces) or provide multiple outdoor areas to use and enjoy. This compound provides exceptional flexibility for extended family, nanny accommodations, private offices or income-generating use. Minutes walk to LA's hottest, walkable art and dining micro-neighborhoods Noko and Melrose Hill. Located within 3-mins drive of Larchmont Village, central to the East Side and DTLA. This is an incredible chance to own an income producing property that lives like a home.
Hollywood Studio District, located between Hollywood Boulevard and Sunset Boulevard, is a historic and production-driven Los Angeles neighborhood with studio backlots and Art Deco streetscapes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Hollywood & Vine intersection, where marquee lights, sidewalk crowds, and late-night dining set a show-business tempo. The Hollywood Pantages Theatre and the Hollywood Palladium act as cultural anchors, while Amoeba Music keeps the area’s record-store ritual alive. Mid-century apartment blocks and classic courtyard buildings sit beside soundstage-era facades and newer mixed-use corridors. Side streets shift quieter, with pocket courtyards and small cafes tucked into older storefronts. Metro stops and bus lines thread through the grid, keeping the district connected to the rest of the city.
