About 281 E Avenue 33
Step into 1895 and discover a rare Victorian treasure. Only the second time on the market for more than 70 years. This property is set up as a house, and yet it was functioning as a Duplex for decades. Perfect opportunity for developers and flippers, prime location, endless potential, and ready to be reimagined for maximum return. This 3-bedroom, 3-bath home overflows with original character, hardwood floors, vintage windows, and timeless architectural charm. Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac, it backs up to a road and offers mountain and downtown skyline views in a peaceful, park-like setting. The garden, patios, and outdoor entertaining areas invite you to enjoy nature right at your doorstep, bordering Montecito Heights Open Space and hiking trails. Just minutes from Highland Park, Debs Park, and Heritage Square Museum. Parking for two cars. A one-of-a-kind opportunity to own a true piece of Los Angeles history. *** This property will need to be purchased with Cash, a 203(k) Loan, Construction Financing, or a hard money loan. ***
