Property Description
Blowout Price! Fall in love with this extraordinarily rare FULLY VACANT SAWTELLE JAPANTOWN DUPLEX currently functioning like a single family home since it has been in the same family for over 60 years and has been owner occupied for over 20 years with no tenants on record since 2005! Complete control over the use of the property gives the astute buyer the ability to continue to hold the property as-is, making it the perfect multi-generational family compound, or for those wanting a separate office/studio/caretaker's suite/workspace, or a 2nd unit for additional income! Comprised of two 2-bedroom + 1 bath units punctuated by refinished hardwood floors and newer dual paned windows, each unit enjoys private laundry facilities and the rear unit opens to an enormous backyard highlighted by a stone patio, gazebo, citrus trees, and organic vegetable garden. A separate 2-car detached garage could be a phenomenal ADU. Developers and investors will drool over the 6617 sq ft LAR2 lot along with not having to contend with SB8 regulations, tenant management / buyouts, or building delays so they can start dreaming immediately and those needing a 1031 exchange property should take note! Please do not walk property without an appointment and strictly sold "as-is" without credits or repairs. Opportunities like this are far and few between in this centrally located district wedged between Brentwood, Mar Vista, Santa Monica, and Westwood so be sure to schedule your appointment today before it's too late. Drive around the neighborhood, gawk at all of the new construction, and ponder the possibilities!
