2606 S Barrington Avenue

About this home

A rare opportunity to own two exceptionally designed residences in one of West Los Angeles' most desirable locations. Originally conceived, designed and built as their own home by the architect/contractor owners, 2606 S Barrington Avenue reflects an uncommon level of thoughtfulness, craftsmanship and attention to detail. Completed in 2020, this distinctive duplex encompasses 4,757 square feet across two expansive, fully independent, townhome-style residences, each with its own private garage, entry and outdoor spaces. Both homes feature high ceilings, abundant natural light and exceptional finishes, with particular attention to privacy and acoustic separation. The larger rear residence, 2,613 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 3 1/2 bathrooms, enjoys a quieter orientation away from Barrington Avenue, with generous living spaces arranged over multiple levels, a heated covered patio off the main living area, and an extraordinary approximately 800-square-foot private rooftop terrace. Designed as a true outdoor living and entertaining space, the rooftop features beautifully finished decking, a turf area, dining and lounge areas, landscaping, a fire feature and 360-degree views across the Westside and the surrounding mountains. The front residence is equally private and filled with natural light, offering 2,144 square feet, 3 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths, a covered patio off the main living area, and a flex area currently configured as a gym. The residences were designed with an emphasis on natural light, generous volumes, privacy and acoustic comfort. Double-glazed windows help minimize exterior street noise, while enhanced acoustic separation between the residences contributes to a notably private living environment. Exceptionally well located in West Los Angeles, the property is just two blocks from Richland Avenue Elementary, a sought-after LAUSD French-English dual-language immersion school. The neighborhood is highly walkable, with restaurants, shops and everyday amenities nearby, including the forthcoming Lazy Acres Natural Market at National and Barrington, while public transportation is also readily accessible. Sawtelle, Brentwood, Santa Monica, Westwood and the Westside's premier dining, shopping and cultural destinations are all easily within reach. Each private garage is equipped with a dedicated 220V outlet for EV charging, and the larger residence has its own solar panel system. With two thoughtfully designed, fully independent residences, the property offers exceptional flexibility as a multigenerational home, an owner-user residence with additional income, or a high-quality investment. Current combined rental income is $18,500 per month ($222,000 annually), with both residences leased month-to-month with the option to deliver vacant, offering a rare combination of immediate income and future flexibility.
