3511 E 2nd Street

Beautifully upgraded, meticulously maintained, and privately gated, this mid-century gem on a spacious lot features two fully equipped homes, extensive system upgrades, and an oversized garage workshop with flexible use options. Both the main house and detached 2-bedroom ADU have brand new roofs completed in July 2024 using TruDefinition Duratian Cool Plus shingles with SurNail technology and Polyglass flat roof materials—all still under warranty. The exterior was freshly painted and stucco sealed in August 2024, giving the property standout curb appeal.
The main house includes vinyl double-pane low-E windows, copper plumbing, upgraded electrical panel (2019), solar-powered attic fan (2023), and a whole house fan. The kitchen was remodeled in 2022 with butcher block counters, stainless sink, new cabinetry, updated plumbing, and a stainless-steel dishwasher. The bathroom, remodeled in 2023, is a stunning mid-century dream with a solar tube for natural light and designer finishes. The charming front living room includes a cozy nook perfect for reading, music, or creative space. Three new FRIGIDAIRE 10,000 BTU window AC units were added in August 2024. Additional upgrades include custom closets, refinished built-ins, updated lighting, matching door hardware, and blackout shades in all bedrooms.
The detached ADU includes its own kitchen, laundry room, two bedrooms, full bathroom, private yard, and even its own mailbox—ideal for extended family, guests, or rental income (estimated at approx. $2,100/month).
The 30’ x 19’ detached garage includes a 220V panel (2019) and a rear storage space—perfect for a workshop, gym, studio, or potential future ADU conversion.
The lot is fully fenced with an electric gate (2021), DG-leveled front yard ready for drought-tolerant landscaping, solar backyard shades, WiFi-enabled LED carnival lights, and a privacy screen (Feb 2025). Mature fruit trees—peach, plum, mango, loquat, lemon, and olive—add character and function. All appliances in both homes are included.
Located in the heart of Boyle Heights near the Metro E Line, Downtown LA, East LA College, parks, and dining, this property blends timeless design, modern upgrades, and flexible living in one of LA’s most connected and culturally rich neighborhoods.
