Overview

5435 Smiley Drive is a fully detached duplex featuring a 2-bedroom, 2-bath front unit with 977 sf and a 2-bedroom, 1-bath back unit with 671 sf. Both units have updated kitchens, bathrooms, and flooring, and each unit includes its own laundry. The back unit has recently undergone full renovation, while the property is served by separate meters for electricity and gas, supporting independent operation of both units. A detached garage on-site adds additional flexibility for future expansion or an ADU conversion.

Located in West Adams, the property sits on a residential income asset configuration that can accommodate a range of owner-occupant and investor strategies. The detached layout provides separation between units, and the site is zoned LARD1.5 in TOC tier 3, which the listing indicates allows for increased density and FAR bonuses.

For tenants or buyers, the dual-unit setup supports living in one unit while renting the other, or renting both as income properties. The separately metered utilities and in-unit laundry are practical improvements for day-to-day management. Developers and operators will also value the detached garage and the zoning potential cited for LARD1.5 in TOC tier 3, subject to applicable approvals and requirements.
