Despite being built in 1925, the property has undergone a comprehensive and recent renovation, featuring a 'new Kitchen, new bathrooms,' 'redone floors,' and fresh paint inside and out. The listing explicitly states it 'has never been lived in' since the renovation and is 'move in ready.' The kitchen image confirms modern recessed lighting, stainless steel appliances, and new cabinetry/countertops, aligning with current quality standards and indicating virtually new components with no deferred maintenance.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Development Opportunity: The property is explicitly marketed as a 'DEVELOPMENT DEAL' with R3 zoning and partially RTI permits for a 20-unit build, significantly de-risking the entitlement process.
Strong Rental Market & Location: Situated in a 'high-demand area with strong rental upside' and minutes from Beverly Grove, indicating excellent potential for future rental income from the proposed multi-family units.
Immediate Cash Flow: The existing single-family home is 'cash flowing at $4,800/ month with tenant in place,' providing immediate income to offset holding costs during the development phase.
Recently Renovated Existing Home: The current single-family residence has been recently updated ('new Kitchen, new bathrooms, painted inside and out') and is 'move in ready,' offering flexibility for interim use or leasing.
Generous Lot Size: A 'large lot of almost 7k sq feet' (6888 sqft) provides ample space for the proposed 20-unit multi-family development, maximizing density and potential returns.

Cons

Significant Price Discrepancy: The listing price of $1,750,000 is 25% above the estimated property value, suggesting a substantial premium for the development potential that may require careful financial justification.
Pending Permit Approval: Although 'partially RTI,' the permit is 'awaiting approval from the Building and Safety Department,' indicating that the project is not fully shovel-ready and still carries regulatory risk and potential for delays.
Specialized Buyer Pool: This property is primarily a 'DEVELOPMENT DEAL,' which narrows the potential buyer pool to experienced developers and investors, potentially limiting market liquidity compared to a standard residential sale.
