In the laid-back, conveniently located Los Angeles neighborhood of Eagle Rock, a beautifully renovated 1930s duplex is now up for grabs.

Dubbed The Memory House, the 1937-built structure was originally a duplex and recently underwent an extensive architectural transformation that turned it into a sophisticated, modern three-unit compound with crisp interiors and a fresh layout.

Now, it’s being brought to market for $2,850,000, with Jake Lazere and Jennifer Parker-Stanton of Compass holding the listing.
