About This Home
Rare. Vacant. Income-Ready Duplex in Prime Whittier. Opportunities like this don’t come often. Set on a quiet residential street in one of Whittier’s most desirable pockets, this standout duplex delivers the flexibility today’s buyers want—and the kind of upside that’s getting harder to find. Live in one, rent the other… or create a true multi-generational setup with space for extended family or close friends—while offsetting your mortgage with rental income. The front 2 bed / 2 bath and rear 3 bed / 2 bath units offer bright, open living spaces with a natural, functional flow designed for both comfort and privacy—ideal for shared living or independent use. A long private driveway, two separate two-car garages, and ample on-site parking provide everyday convenience for both owners and tenants. Enjoy a private gated backyard—perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or future value-add potential such as an ADU—complete with additional storage. The charming front patio enhances curb appeal while offering a sense of separation and privacy. Centrally located near Whittier College and Rio Hondo College, with quick access to Interstate 605 and minutes to Santa Fe Springs Metrolink Station. Enjoy nearby dining and local charm in Uptown Whittier, along with outdoor access to Hellman Park. Whether you’re house hacking, investing, or building generational wealth, this is a rare opportunity to own a property that can truly help pay for itself while growing with you over time. Vacant. Flexible. Income-producing. High upside. * * * Some photos have been virtually staged * * *
