Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: Elementary School: Fairburn Avenue Elementary School (9/10).
Prime Brentwood Location: Situated in Brentwood, one of Los Angeles's most coveted neighborhoods, offering prestige and strong market demand.
Development Potential (R4 Zoning): R4 zoning provides significant flexibility for investors and developers to enhance value, potentially allowing for multi-unit development or a larger custom home.
ADU Conversion Opportunity: The unattached garage presents a clear opportunity for conversion into an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), enabling potential rental income or multi-generational living.
Exceptional Accessibility: Strategically located near major thoroughfares (405 freeway), employment hubs (UCLA, Century City), and vibrant retail/dining districts (San Vicente Blvd, Sawtelle).
Value-Add Investment: Positioned as a prime opportunity for buyers with vision and capital to significantly increase property value through renovation, expansion, or redevelopment.
Cons
Significant Renovation Required: Built in 1920 and marketed towards investors to 'maximize' its potential, indicating the existing structure likely requires extensive modernization or redevelopment.
Limited Current Living Space: With only 895 sqft, the current home offers very small living quarters, which may not appeal to end-users seeking a move-in ready or spacious residence.
High Entry Price for Condition: The $1.495M list price for a small, older home requiring substantial investment represents a high barrier to entry, primarily reflecting land value and development potential rather than the existing structure's immediate utility.
