This property represents a High-Potential Investment Opportunity, listed at $1,300,000—positioned above the $1,228,472 Fair Market Value.

With a 7,069 sq. ft. lot, the site supports approximately 21,000 sq. ft. of buildable area. This is a strategic land play in a rapidly evolving urban submarket, making it an ideal acquisition for Multifamily Developers or Long-Term Land Holders.

Property is land value only, full reconstruction required.
Built in 1887 with no evidence of modern renovations; the listing explicitly markets the property for its R4 high-density redevelopment potential and land value rather than the existing structure.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 7069, living area = 1199.
The R4(CW)-75/3-O zoning designation allows for significant multifamily redevelopment, featuring a 75-foot height limit and a 3:1 floor area ratio.
Positioned near the Echo Park and Westlake corridors, the property offers exceptional connectivity to Downtown LA, major freeways, and public transit.
The existing 1887 structure holds minimal value compared to the land, likely requiring demolition and clearing costs to realize the property's highest and best use.
The $1.3M list price is tailored for developers, making the property uncompetitive for traditional single-family homebuyers seeking a move-in ready residence.
427 N Bixel St, Los Angeles, CA 90026 is a small single-family residence situated in a dense urban pocket just west of Downtown Los Angeles, near the boundary of the Westlake and Echo Park corridors. Positioned on an approximately 50 x 140 lot, the property benefits from a relatively deep parcel size for the area and reflects classic early Los Angeles housing stock originally constructed in the late 1800s. Surrounding the property is a rapidly evolving urban environment composed of older single-family homes, low-rise apartment buildings, and an increasing number of multifamily and infill redevelopment projects. The neighborhood offers strong connectivity to Downtown LA, Echo Park, Silver Lake, major freeway corridors, and public transportation, making it a highly desirable location for both residents and developers.The property is zoned R4(CW)-75/3-O, a high-density multifamily zoning designation within the Central City West Specific Plan area, allowing for significant redevelopment potential. The zoning permits high-density residential development with a 75-foot height limit and a 3:1 floor area ratio, creating the opportunity for a mid-rise apartment or mixed residential project. Based on the approximate 7,000 square foot lot size, the site may support an estimated 21,000 square feet of buildable area before incentives, with potential for additional density through affordable housing or transit-oriented development programs, subject to city approvals. Overall, the property derives substantial value from its underlying land and redevelopment potential rather than the existing improvements, positioning it as a compelling opportunity for investors, developers, or long-term land holders seeking exposure to one of Los Angeles' most actively transforming urban submarkets.
