Two side by side properties are for sale by the same owner. One, a single family, two bedroom home; the other a three unit 1920's Craftsman, set up and running as short term furnished vacation rentals. These properties have been in the possession of the same family for the last 91 years. Both properties as a single purchase could be the perfect live work opportunity for the right person, couple, or family. However, we invite offers on each property independent of the other. The main house 425 was built from a Green and Green blue print purchased by thousands of contractors during the era of it's construction. It is documented as having been built in 1920. Electricity arrived in San Pedro in 1911. The ceiling fixtures were fitted with gas lines originally and wired much later than 1920. The 2 story 1923 rear house was originally built as a porte cochere. The only enclosure on the ground floor was the garage. Most of the second floor was elevated on stilts, over an area where horses were kept. According to the seller's grandparents, the area was enclosed to create the third unit around 1942.All units are in operation as furnished, short term vacation units. The Craftsman built ins are unusually well preserved, and the units are well appointed with a distinctive nod to the early 20th Century. The front house 425 can book on Air bnb, VRBO etc. as two separate units with their own exterior entrances or they can be combined into one unit for larger groups. 427 (upstairs) can sleep up to 4 with it's 2 bedrooms and living room convertible sofa. 429 (down stairs rear) can sleep two comfortably and a third on the daybed. The vacation rentals have enjoyed nearly full occupancy since we began the project four years ago. All the units are currently occupied, but can be viewed by arrangement.

Two side by side properties are for sale by the same owner. One, a single family, two bedroom home; the other a three unit 1920's Craftsman, set up and running as short term furnished vacation rentals. These properties have been in the possession of the same family for the last 91 years. Both properties as a single purchase could be the perfect live work opportunity for the right person, couple, or family. However, we invite offers on each property independent of the other. This is a lovely 1939, two bedroom, 1 bath, single family home of modern design. Sitting twelve steps above street level with a generous setback under shade trees, the front of the home has an Art Deco quality. The port hole entrance door, the curves of the house and patio with its iron work, all contribute to the home's distinctive presence.It is a very solid stucco house on one level with the exception of a very small office over the garage. Plumbing and electrical have been upgraded. It's rooms are due for redecoration, which we sensibly leave up to the buyer. This is a good find, a rare and unusual, architect built, one of a kind single family house. Originally constructed in West Los Angeles, under the path of the Santa Monica Fwy, the seller's Grandparents moved it to San Pedro in 1957, to rescue it from demolition. Also moved with it was the two car garage, with it's small office above. In the living room there is a wood burning fireplace. It's chimney was constructed with steel reinforced cast concrete, bolted to the house with steel supports. This was the architects response to the 1933 Long Beach earthquake. At the time this house was moved, it was the only house on record to have ever been transported in California, with it's chimney remaining attached and arriving intact after the journey. The living room also boasts a modern wrap around, corner window with a horizontal span of 9 feet and 3 feet, and a sill of 17 inches. Off the living room there is a large sunroom of floor to ceiling glass with it's own gas fired stove.The small galley kitchen is equipped with a Thermador Professional range and Sub-Zero integrated refrigeration. The kitchen includes a dishwasher, and adjacent to the kitchen is a generous laundry room with front loading washer and dryer. The main bathroom includes a large sunken tub and a separate stall shower with multiple heads and built in teak bench. The wash basin is a single glass vessel set on a granite counter.In the back yard there is a generous wood deck with a fiberglass spa set into it. It is an older unit but functions well. Next to the deck sits an Asian inspired gazebo, built by the current owner many years ago as a meditation space.

If you're tired of seeing houses that all look the same, then you'll be enchanted by the possibility of calling one of these very rare Columbia Ranch Storybook Cottages your own. The living room stuns with its high pitched beam ceilings, original stone fireplace and whimsical shelves. Through the dining area there's a light and bright remodeled kitchen with plenty of storage and original built-in. Head down the hallway, past the sunny bathroom and you'll find the first bedroom with high beamed ceilings and windows overlooking the plant filled patio. Here there's a large closet and an oversized walk-in closet- perhaps room to add a 2nd bathroom? Throughout the house you'll notice the polished concrete floors which add an eclectic vibe and connect each space seamlessly. The second bedroom leads out through sliding glass doors to the sunroom and the possibility to use this bonus indoor/outdoor space for plants, pets, arts & crafts or a workout room etc. Head out to the patio with plenty of room to garden, entertain or relax under the sun shade and then check out the finishing touch, the 2 car garage. Set in a fantastic location, this home offers easy access to Verdugo Park with its beloved swimming pool and tennis courts, Whole Foods and the many dining, restaurants & shopping options on nearby Riverside & Magnolia. For an escape into nature you'll love that you're super close to Griffith Park, with its scenic hiking trails, gardens and recreational facilities. Close to Disney, Warner Bros, Nickelodeon, Universal etc. This is a unique house and they don't come up for sale that often so don't miss this opportunity to own a piece of Hollywood history.
