Property summary

Hello, I'm 544-546 Grand Blvd, a 1947 Venice bungalow with a multifamily twist and the kind of charm that gets complimented at brunch. Classic exterior, confident interior, and just enough personality to keep things interesting. Think "I'm adorable," but with income. Let's do the stats first (because I know you're going to ask anyway): I'm an attached duplex-style bungalow with two units 2 x 1 bed / 1 bath totaling 1,473 sq ft of well-laid-out living space on a 4,500 sq ft lot. I share a wall like a mature adult, but I will not share your spotlight. I also come with a detached 2-car garage, because even in Venice, your cars deserve a safe space. And yes, there's in-unit washer/dryer, because lugging laundry around in beach sandals is a crime against humanity. Inside? Livable, functional, NOT updated (544 was renovated in 2019, but 546 was not), and not "fresh off a design show." I'm not pretending to be something I'm not. I'm the honest, slightly scruffy, wildly promising type. The interiors flow from living to kitchen with plenty of room to cook, lounge, and tell people you host dinner parties more often than you actually do. Out back, you've got space to relax, entertain, or dramatically sip coffee while contemplating your next investment move. Now, let's talk location because mine is kind of a mic drop. I'm tucked into a quiet, walkable residential pocket of Venice, just moments from Abbot Kinney Blvd and Windward Circle. Translation: you're close to The Butcher's Daughter, Great White, Erewhon, the Venice Farmers Market, Costco, and caffeine lifelines like Blue Bottle, Intelligentsia, and Levain Bakery. Nearby schools include Westminster Elementary, Mark Twain Middle School, World Languages Magnet, and Venice High. Beaches, parks, bike paths? Yes. Sunshine? Included. Lifestyle-wise, I'm the kind of place that says: "Morning bike ride. Midday latte. Sunset beach walk. Repeat. Now for the refreshingly transparent fine print (I'm charming, not shady): *The current owner has not known of any roof or foundation issues, but neither the roof nor foundation have been replaced or repaired during this ownership. *Tenants are on year-to-year leases. No buyout or move-out discussions have occurred; that due diligence and strategy would be on the buyer post acceptance. *The reason for selling? The owner wants to liquidate into other opportunities. *You'll also notice I'm listed well below what I was purchased for timing and market conditions are making this your opportunity. I'm priced with a clear strategy: land value. Which means we're keeping this simple and efficient drive-by only at this stage. No interior showings until an offer is accepted subject to inspection. The photos are meant to be honest, and so is this description: I'm not brand new, and I'm not currently maximizing my economic potential. That's the point. That's your play. And speaking of upside: in conversations with an architect, the seller believes it may be fairly straightforward (and legally permitted) to build an ADU above the garage for a potential third unit, and that no additional parking would be required. Of course, you'll want to do your own due diligence but yes, the words "add income" have been said out loud, and I didn't hate it. Seller's pricing plan: review all offers within two weeks. So if you're the kind of buyer who can recognize a rare Venice opportunity hiding in plain sight, this is your moment. Because if we looked up the definition of the word "potential," it would not surprise me if there was a picture of well me. So here's your cue: bring your vision, bring your offer, and come claim a Venice duplex bungalow that's equal parts charm, location, and upside. Before someone else realizes what you just realized.
