DELIVERED WITH ONE UNIT VACANT! Welcome to 1630 Franklin Street, a truly special duplex nestled in one of the most desirable pockets of East Santa Monica where timeless charm meets exceptional opportunity. Rarely does a property come to market that so beautifully blends warmth, character, functionality, and investment potential. With one unit delivered vacant, this offering presents an extraordinary opportunity for an owner-user, investor, or multi-generational living arrangement in one of the Westside’s most sought-after neighborhoods. Ideally situated just moments from some of Los Angeles’ most influential creative and tech campuses including Oracle, Lionsgate, Red Bull, Riot Games, Activision, Universal Music Group, and the iconic Water Garden, the location offers unparalleled convenience with easy access to world-class dining, shopping, entertainment, and the coastal lifestyle that makes Santa Monica so beloved. What makes this duplex particularly unique is how authentically it lives like two separate single-family residences, each with its own distinct personality and sense of home. The front residence is an enchanting cottage-style home offering 2 bedrooms and 1 bath, wrapped in storybook charm. Framed by a classic white picket fence, lush grassy front yard, and a quaint English garden, this home evokes the warmth and nostalgia of simpler times reminiscent of cherished childhood memories at Grandma’s house, where life felt slower and front porches served as gathering places. There is a sweetness to this home that is increasingly rare to find. It invites morning coffee on the porch, quiet afternoons in the garden, and evenings spent watching the neighborhood gently unfold. A private carport provides convenient parking for one vehicle. Tucked privately at the rear of the property, the second residence is a spacious and thoughtfully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath home currently tenant occupied. Larger in scale and highly functional in layout, this residence offers comfortable living with generous proportions and tasteful updates throughout. An oversized two-car garage with direct access adds substantial value and convenience offering abundant parking, storage, and flexible utility for modern living. Whether you are seeking strong income potential, a live-in-one/rent-the-other scenario, or a long-term investment in a premier Santa Monica location, 1630 Franklin Street represents a rare and meaningful opportunity. Properties like this are not simply purchased they are stewarded, cherished, and held for generations. This is more than a duplex; it is a property filled with heart, possibility, and the enduring promise of home.
