About This Home
Developer's Dream in Historic Belmont Square Echo Park. Rare opportunity for builders, flippers, or investors: this 1924 East Coast style duplex by architect David Julius Witmer sits on a coveted pedestrian-only walk street in the historic Belmont Square district. Charming row homes, lush gardens, and private tranquil courtyard environment inspired by historic garden apartments and rare to find in the heart of the city. These "secret" walk streets offer a peaceful residential atmosphere just moments from urban amenities. The duplex at 208 & 210 Columbia features two units, each with 1 bedrooms and 1 bath, ready for a full renovation! Perfect for investors seeking to add value or owner-users looking to live onsite while bringing their vision to life. Separate utility meters for both units, a low-maintenance lot, and a classic duplex layout provide a strong foundation for a full rehab or creative redevelopment. Located minutes from DTLA, Silver Lake, and Historic Filipinotown, this property combines rare architectural character with significant upside potential in one of Los Angeles' most desirable urban neighborhoods. The Historic Belmont Square Duplex is more than a project - it's a chance to shape the evolution of one of LA's most sought-after communities. Bring your creativity, your vision, and your ambition. Don't miss out on this gem!
