Welcome to 2511 W. 5th St, a distinguished piece of architectural character nestled in the dynamic Westlake neighborhood of Los Angeles. Originally constructed in 1951, this multi-family property delivers approximately 1,782sqft of living space across two legal units, ideal for dual occupancy or investment rentals. You''re greeted by striking mid-century lines and a timeless facade that make a confident statement on a cul-de-sac near Koreatown and Downtown L.A. Two 1-bedroom, 1-bath units offering private comfortable living spaces, peek-a-boo view of Hollywood sign from upper level deck space, in-unit laundry, dedicated garage parking and there is an underutilized bonus studio, non-conforming but complete with kitchenette and bath.
