About this home
Rare opportunity to acquire a prime piece of real estate in the highly sought-after 90025 zip code. Situated on a spacious, flat 5,799 sq. ft. lot, this LAR1-zoned property offers endless potential for a massive value-add renovation, an expansive addition, or a complete ground-up custom rebuild. With new construction and luxury fully renovated homes in the immediate neighborhood commanding premium prices—frequently selling between $2.5M and upwards of $3.8M—the After Repair Value (ARV) and return on investment potential here is exceptional. Capitalize on California's ADU laws to maximize the footprint, or design a luxury single-family compound (buyer to verify all zoning, building, and ADU regulations with the city). Lovely 3 bedroom 2 bath 1939 cottage with beautiful refinished hard floors and a spacious yard with delicious orange and lemon trees. Living room with fireplace, kitchen, formal dining room, inside laundry area, three bedrooms and two bathrooms, one with tub and shower and another with shower.

Commuting is a breeze with close proximity to the Expo Line, the 405 and 10 freeways, UCLA, Santa Monica College and the tech hubs of Silicon Beach. Bike ride to Santa Monica Beach.
