Property is move-in ready.
Built in 1952 but extensively updated as noted in the description. Interior photos show well-maintained hardwood flooring, updated wood-framed sliding doors, and clean finishes. The property appears move-in ready and functional for immediate use as a primary residence or rental, fitting the 5-15 year renovation profile.
The property features a generous 6,500 SF lot with favorable R2 zoning, offering rare redevelopment opportunities for luxury coastal residences or a multi-unit compound in a supply-constrained market.
Situated in the highly sought-after Point Fermin neighborhood, the home enjoys existing ocean views and refreshing coastal breezes, located just moments from the West Harbor Waterfront Redevelopment.
The existing home is extensively updated, providing immediate flexibility as a move-in ready primary residence or a high-value rental asset while future development plans are finalized.
With only 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and 950 square feet of living area, the current structure may be undersized for families or buyers not primarily focused on the land's development value.
The $950,000 list price represents a significant premium per square foot for the existing dwelling, reflecting the property's land value and zoning rather than the scale of the current improvements.
Opportunities like this are becoming increasingly rare. Located in the heart of the highly sought-after POINT FERMIN neighborhood, 714 W. 38th Street offers the unique combination of an EXTENSIVELY UPDATED RESIDENCE, an approximately 6,500 SF R2-ZONED LOT, EXISTING OCEAN VIEWS, refreshing COASTAL BREEZES, and exceptional REDEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL in one of Southern California's most desirable seaside communities. From the moment you arrive, you'll appreciate the OCEAN VIEWS from the front of the property and the cool COASTAL BREEZES that define the Point Fermin lifestyle. The expansive rear portion of the lot also enjoys OCEAN VIEWS, creating an exceptional opportunity to thoughtfully design future improvements that further enhance VIEW CORRIDORS and maximize the property's remarkable COASTAL SETTING (Buyer to verify all development possibilities with the City of Los Angeles.) Unlike a VACANT LAND ACQUISITION, the existing residence provides immediate flexibility as a PRIMARY RESIDENCE, RENTAL PROPERTY, or HOLDING ASSET while redevelopment plans are explored. Whether your vision is to create LUXURY COASTAL RESIDENCES, a MULTIGENERATIONAL FAMILY COMPOUND, or a LONG-TERM INVESTMENT, the generous lot size, favorable R2 ZONING, and existing improvements provide multiple pathways to LASTING VALUE. Ideally situated just moments from POINT FERMIN PARK, CABRILLO BEACH, ROYAL PALMS BEACH, CABRILLO MARINA, the KOREAN FRIENDSHIP BELL, and the transformative WEST HARBOR WATERFRONT REDEVELOPMENT, the property is positioned to benefit from billions of dollars in public and private investment that continue to reshape SAN PEDRO into one of Southern California's premier coastal destinations. Whether you're a DEVELOPER, INVESTOR, BUILDER, or OWNER-USER with a long-term vision, this is more than the purchase of a home; it's the opportunity to secure an irreplaceable COASTAL PROPERTY in one of Los Angeles' most SUPPLY-CONSTRAINED WATERFRONT NEIGHBORHOODS. *Please refer to the attached Offering Memorandum supplement for additional property information, including a link to city documents.
