BRING ALL OFFERS!!! A rare Silver Lake/Virgil Village view home with sweeping views of the Hollywood Hills and Griffith Observatory. It sits in one of the Eastside's most desirable pockets: close proximity to Sqirl, Courage Bagels, and Budonoki on Virgil Avenue, Erewhon on Santa Monica Blvd, and the coffee shops, and nightlife of Sunset Junction. 4023 Monroe St is a vacant single-story home, currently about 816 sq ft with 2 bedrooms and 1 bath, offered as-is and ready for its next owner's vision. The home already has new 200-amp electrical service, ready to support a full renovation and the permitted addition. Much of the hard work is already done. The City has issued a building permit with stamped plans that add a second floor, expanding the home to about 1,236 sq ft with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. The new upper level is a private primary suite designed to take in even more of the view. Architecture, structural engineering, Title 24, and plan check are complete, saving a buyer months of design and approvals. The deep lot also offers room to add an ADU of up to approximately 1,000 sq ft at the rear of the house, either alongside the permitted second story or in place of it. Conceptual studies show a two-bedroom, two-bath attached unit with its own entry, creating the option of a main home plus income or space for extended family. Renovate and move in, or rehab and resell into a neighborhood where buyers compete for well-done homes. The RD1.5 lot of about 6,200 sq ft also offers longer-term upside for additional density, and preliminary small lot planning has been done. Minutes to Los Feliz, Hollywood, and the 101. No additional parking is required for the permitted project. Buyer to verify permit status, ADU feasibility and size, zoning, and development potential with the City of Los Angeles.
Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1922 and offered 'as-is,' this property is a clear rehab project. While it has a new 200-amp electrical service, the home is marketed for its development potential and permitted expansion plans rather than its current interior condition, which requires a full renovation.
The property includes City-issued building permits and stamped plans for a second-story expansion, plus a new 200-amp electrical service, saving the buyer months of design and approval time.
Situated in a highly desirable Silver Lake/Virgil Village pocket, the home offers sweeping views of the Hollywood Hills and Griffith Observatory while being steps away from iconic amenities like Sqirl and Courage Bagels.
The oversized 6,200 sq ft RD1.5 lot provides ample space for a 1,000 sq ft ADU or future density through small lot subdivision, offering multiple strategies for equity growth.
The home is being sold in its current state and requires a full renovation or expansion to be functional, necessitating significant additional capital beyond the purchase price.
At only 816 square feet, the current footprint is very small for the price point, making the property primarily attractive to developers or those prepared for a major construction project.
No exterior & parking available.
