About this home

A rare opportunity in a highly desirable part of Burbank, this charming property offers the unique potential to restore it to its original legal duplex configuration, creating two approximately 625-square-foot, 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom units. Currently utilized as a single-family residence, the property retains many of the features that make the conversion particularly appealing, including separate utility submeters and existing kitchen plumbing that remains intact and can be readily reinstalled. The home retains the character and craftsmanship of a classic Burbank property, with beautiful hardwood floors, original bathroom tilework, and other thoughtfully preserved original elements complemented by modern updates. Each potential unit offers a comfortable and functional footprint, making this an attractive opportunity for an owner-user, multi-generational living arrangement, or investor seeking two separate units. Outside, a private backyard with a covered patio provides valuable outdoor space, while a detached garage and two additional storage units tucked neatly into the rear corners offer excellent storage and utility. The detached garage may also present an opportunity for an ADU, subject to applicable zoning and permitting requirements, potentially creating an additional source of rental income. With its desirable Burbank location, preserved original features, existing utility infrastructure, and potential to return to a two-unit configuration, this property presents a distinctive opportunity to create two charming 1-bedroom residences, with the added potential for an ADU and additional income.
