Two homes. One rare lot. Offered for the first time in more than six decades.

In the heart of Los Angeles, 847 North Sierra Bonita is a two-home duplex compound where two fully independent residences share a single, generous lot. Live in one and lease the other, welcome extended family, or hold it as a pure investment — a rare kind of flexibility in one of the city's most central pockets.

Why 847 Sierra Bonita

Six things that make it rare

Two Homes, One Lot

A true duplex compound — front and back residences that live completely independently.

Prime 90046 Location

Moments from Melrose, the Fairfax District, and The Grove — one of L.A.'s most central, walkable pockets.

6,510 Sq Ft Lot

A generous, flat lot with room for two full structures plus a private shared driveway.

Built-In Income

Offset your mortgage by leasing the home you don't occupy — a strong, proven rental corridor.

A 60-Year Legacy

Lovingly held by the same family for over six decades — and offered for the very first time.

Flexible Living

Ideal for multigenerational families, a private guest house, a home office, or a studio.

Front home — entry
The Front Home

Classic single-story living

Facing the street, the front residence is a bright, single-level home with generous common rooms, an eat-in kitchen, and four well-proportioned bedrooms — comfortable, timeless, and move-in ready.

Back home — exterior
The Back Home

A two-story private retreat

Set at the rear of the lot, the back residence is a spacious two-story home with a family room, wet bar, private balconies, and an oversized primary suite — fully separate from the front home, with its own sense of arrival.

Bringing Smiles

A short walk from the front door, a 100-year-old carob tree is one of the neighborhood's quiet landmarks. When its roots began buckling the sidewalk, a resident answered not with hazard cones but with whimsy — building a tiny fairy-and-gnome world into the trunk from popsicle-stick doors, pine-cone shingles, and miniature walkways. It draws photographs, fan mail, and small handmade gifts from neighborhood children, and it became a Los Angeles Times story about how a little magic can make strangers smile. Move in, and the tradition of bringing smiles is yours to continue.
