Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Poor
TeardownExcellent

Property is extensive renovation needed.

Built in 1919, the property's existing structures are over 100 years old. The interior images reveal a very outdated kitchen with old cabinets, laminate countertops, and basic white appliances, along with an extremely dated bathroom featuring an old vanity and stained-looking sink. Flooring consists of dark laminate, old linoleum/tile, and worn carpet. Light fixtures are old-fashioned, and heating appears to be via wall units. The overall condition of the residential units requires substantial rehabilitation to meet modern living standards. The listing itself emphasizes the property's 'highest and best use' as redevelopment, indicating the existing buildings are functionally obsolete and their value is primarily in the land.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • Exceptional Development Potential

    The property is explicitly identified as a 'great developer opportunity' with C-2 commercial zoning, a substantial 8,253 sqft lot, and potential for 12-16 multi-residential units, supported by a trend of new developments in the immediate vicinity.

  • Prime Hollywood Location & Connectivity

    Situated in the heart of Hollywood, offering excellent walkability to amenities, shopping, Los Angeles City College, and is within a quarter-mile of the Santa Monica/Vermont Metro Rail Station, ensuring superb public transportation access.

  • Existing Mixed-Use Income & Flexibility

    Currently comprises three income-generating units (retail storefront + two residential units) with month-to-month leases, providing immediate cash flow and flexibility for a new owner to either continue renting or redevelop.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • Advanced Age of Existing Structures

    Built in 1919, the current buildings are very old, likely necessitating substantial renovation or demolition, which adds considerable cost and complexity, especially for a redevelopment project.

  • Absence of Desirable Views

    The property explicitly states 'view: None,' which can be a drawback for potential residential units or commercial spaces, especially in a competitive market where views often command a premium.

  • Recent Price Reduction

    A recent price adjustment from $2.0999M to $1.9999M could indicate initial overpricing or a slower market response, potentially signaling a need for further negotiation or a longer marketing period.

About 1108 N Kenmore Avenue

This property is in the heart of Hollywood, surrounded with single family homes, apartment complexes and mom and pop businesses, situated within one-quarter mile from Santa Monica / Vermont Metro Rail Station with easy access to transportation, shopping, schools including Los Angeles City College (LACC), most within walking distance. Property is zoned C-2 commercial and includes three (3) units, Retail Store front at street level plus two (2) Residential units in the rear, while current owner lives in one of the units, the store front and the other residential unit is rented, both rentals are on a month-to-month basis, owners resident can also be rented for additional income. Property is within a State Enterprise Zone, while this property would be (1) perfect for a family who has a small mom & pop business to live in one of the rear units, lease out the other residential unit and operate their retail business from the store front or (2) ideal for an investor who can lease all three units and collect rent, but (3) the highest and best use would be develop the property into multi-residential units, this is a great developer opportunity for this fast changing Hollywood location from single family homes into brand new multi-unit apartment complexes with all the latest home features. Driving around this property, one can’t but notice that there are many brand new complexes that have popped up near and all around the area, I counted about 15 such properties within less than half a mile radius, five of them being on the same block with the rest just a block or two over on either side, there may be the potential of building 12 – 16 units on the subject property, must verify with local city ordinance.
