Set on an expansive lot in Northeast Los Angeles, 3135 Minnesota Street presents a rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully renovated Spanish-style property with two fully vacant units. Ideal for an owner-user or as an income-producing investment, the property offers flexibility, privacy, and scale that’s increasingly hard to find.
The front residence blends original 1920s character with modern updates. A sun-filled living room is anchored by a striking arched picture window, original hardwood floors, and a fireplace that adds warmth and depth to the space. From there, the layout flows naturally into a formal dining room that opens to an outdoor patio, creating an easy connection between indoor and outdoor living.
The updated kitchen includes a charming sitting nook, while two spacious bedrooms and two remodeled bathrooms complete the main level. Downstairs, a bonus office and additional storage space provide flexibility for work or creative use. A two-car garage adds convenience and functionality.
Two Units, Endless Flexibility
The rear unit, also delivered fully vacant and fully remodeled, offers its own private living experience. With a formal living room and dining room, updated kitchen, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms, it works seamlessly as a rental, guest house, or extended family space.
Both units benefit from thoughtful separation, allowing for multiple living configurations depending on lifestyle or investment goals.
Expansive Grounds + Outdoor Living
What truly sets this property apart is the land. The lot unfolds into a rare, park-like hillside setting spanning over half an acre. Multiple terraced levels create opportunities for gardens, outdoor entertaining areas, or simply a quiet retreat with sweeping city light views.
Closer to the home, a dedicated outdoor dining patio and sitting area provide a functional, comfortable extension of the living space.
Lincoln Heights Location
Located in a central Northeast LA pocket, the property offers easy access to local favorites like Moo’s Craft Barbecue, King Taco, and The Heights Deli & Bottle Shop, along with quick connections to Downtown Los Angeles, Dodger Stadium, Echo Park, and Highland Park.
