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.
