Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1923 and held by the same owner for over 25 years, the property is marketed as a restoration opportunity requiring 'creative renovation.'

Zoned CM-1 and located within TOC Tier 3, this property offers substantial long-term value and density potential, further enhanced by its eligibility for ED-1 and exemption from the City of Los Angeles Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RSO).
Situated behind a shared gated driveway with mature landscaping, the property offers a rare, secure, and tranquil 'compound-like' feel while remaining centrally located near DTLA, Koreatown, and major transit corridors.
