Turnkey Mid‑City Duplex with Pool — Owner‑User or Investment
1226 Meadowbrook is a rare, fully renovated two-unit property offering both immediate income and an exceptional owner-user opportunity in Mid‑City Los Angeles. Thoughtful, high-end updates throughout include modern kitchens with custom cabinetry and generous islands, marble countertops, recessed lighting, refinished hardwood floors, and upgraded electrical and plumbing systems. Each unit is laid out as a spacious three-bedroom, three-bath residence (totaling approximately 3,464 SF), with in-unit washer/dryer hookups and premium finishes that read like single-family home quality.
Outside, the property’s private yard centers on a sparkling swimming pool — an unusual and highly prized amenity for central LA multifamily. A detached garage provides meaningful storage and off‑street parking capacity, and the 6,217 SF lot gives breathing room and privacy not typical in the corridor. The building’s 1926 shell has been sympathetically updated; tasteful period details combine with contemporary systems to produce turnkey living for an owner-occupant or a compelling rent-ready asset for an investor.
Positioned between the Miracle Mile cultural corridor and Hancock Park, the location delivers easy access to world-class museums (LACMA), boutique shopping and restaurants along La Brea and Wilshire, and straightforward commutes to Downtown, West Hollywood, and the Westside. Whether your plan is to live in one unit while renting the other to offset your mortgage, or to operate both units as a rental property, this duplex gives flexibility and upside in a highly desirable central LA pocket.
Showings by appointment. Buyers are encouraged to verify zoning, request the rent roll and inspection reports, and confirm parking allocation prior to offer. This is a rare combination of lifestyle, location, and immediate income in Mid‑City — schedule your tour today.

A factual market snapshot around 1226 Meadowbrook Ave.
Mid‑City Los Angeles remains a competitive market for renovated multifamily. Inventory of move-in condition duplexes is limited; buyers include owner-occupiers seeking to offset living costs and investors seeking steady cash flow with long-term appreciation. Median single-family pricing in the broader Mid-Wilshire corridor is elevated relative to citywide averages, and duplexes with upgraded finishes and outdoor amenities trade at a premium. Current demand drivers include central location accessibility, cultural and retail amenities, and scarcity of turnkey multi-family product. Expect multiple offers for well-priced, well-presented listings; however, underwriting should conservatively include vacancy, capex for century-old structures, and pool maintenance reserves.
Typical multi-family residential zoning allowing duplex and two-family occupancy with potential for limited ADU development subject to LA zoning rules.
