A solid income property on the Hawthorne / Lawndale border
Two fully independent residences occupy a single lot with a gated front yard, two-car garage, and in-unit laundry in each unit. Well-suited for an investor seeking turnkey rental income, or an extended family that wants to share a property without sharing a front door.
The Setting
The property makes a good first impression from the street. The front unit is a stucco bungalow with a covered entry porch supported by columns, a decorative pediment, and stone veneer along the base. The lot is enclosed by an ornamental iron fence with a sliding gate, providing a secure perimeter for the driveway and front yard. The rear unit sits behind the front residence, with its own entry and access to the two-car garage.
14217 Washington Ave — The Front Unit
The living room features tile floors, crown molding, and recessed lighting, with a distinctive arched opening that connects through to the dining area. The dining space is open to the kitchen, making the common areas feel connected rather than compartmentalized. Both rooms receive natural light from street-facing windows.
The kitchen is a full galley layout with cabinetry running along both walls — raised-panel walnut-tone cabinets with glass-front uppers, granite counters, tile floors, and a dishwasher. A back door off the kitchen leads to the laundry area, which houses a full-size washer and dryer.
Two bedrooms each include a closet and ceiling fan. The bathroom features a marble-top vanity with a decorative framed mirror, wood cabinetry below, and a tiled shower. Crown molding runs through the bedrooms as well. A wall furnace provides heat.
14219 Washington Ave — The Back Unit
The rear unit has a different feel from the front. The living room has hardwood floors, crown molding, recessed lighting, and a ceiling fan. It connects to a dining area where the flooring transitions to tile.
The kitchen is an L-shaped layout with the same walnut-tone raised-panel cabinetry as the front unit, granite counters, a gas range, dishwasher, and tile floors. The laundry is in its own dedicated room off the kitchen. The bedroom has hardwood floors, a mirrored closet, and a ceiling fan. The bathroom has a tiled tub/shower and a standard vanity. The rear unit has its own private entry, completely independent from the front.
The Garage
A two-car garage is included with the rear unit, accessible from the shared driveway. Off-street parking of this capacity is a practical advantage in the South Bay rental market.
