Property Description

Welcome to 1301 W 56th St, where charm meets function in the heart of Southwest Los Angeles. This is one of the best starter homes in the area, featuring classic Spanish Revival architecture and a low-maintenance yard with a beautiful vine-covered façade. Inside, you’ll find a very well-maintained home with stylish tile flooring throughout the main living areas and luxury LVP flooring in both bedrooms. The main house offers 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, an ample kitchen, and brilliant natural light complemented by recessed lighting. Step outside to a quaint, private backyard designed for both relaxation and enjoyment, complete with a tranquil working waterfall and a selection of mature fruit trees—including persimmon, mango, lime, and two pomegranate trees—creating a peaceful, garden-like setting. In addition to the main residence, there is a separate Jr. ADU that provides a flexible bedroom space and office—ideal for guests, extended family, or a work-from-home setup. The property’s convenient central location is hard to beat: approximately 12 minutes to USC, 15 minutes to SoFi Stadium, and 20 minutes to West Los Angeles. The neighborhood is also poised for growth, with the upcoming Slauson Connect Recreation Center planned to offer childcare, after-school programs, recreation facilities, classrooms, and an extensive rooftop garden. The area will connect to Metro’s bicycle path network along Slauson Avenue, and the home is close to both the Vernon A Line Station and the Expo Park/USC station, making commuting and entertainment exceptionally convenient. Timeless character, modern function, and unbeatable access to transit, jobs, and entertainment—your ideal Southwest LA starter home awaits.
