This property presents a High-Potential Investment Opportunity with a List Price of $5,195,000—positioned above the $4,490,074 Fair Market Value.

Zoned for top-tier schools like Franklin Elementary (9/10), this asset is a prime candidate for a custom luxury build. This is an ideal acquisition for Real Estate Developers or Owner-Occupants seeking a premier Santa Monica location.
