Property Description
UNLOCK THE POTENTIAL: 1932 Foundation, 2025 Vision ----Investor or Renovator Opportunity in Prime San Fernando Location! Built in 1932, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath home sits on a generous 6,996 sq. ft. lot and offers an incredible opportunity to renovate, update, and personalize in one of the Valley's most accessible neighborhoods. Ideally located near San Fernando Mission Blvd, Downtown San Fernando, and the Metrolink station, this property combines small-town charm with easy access to major transportation, schools, and everyday conveniences. The home features approximately 780 sq. ft. of living space with a traditional layout including a living room and kitchen. While it requires thoughtful updating and modernization, the value is in the lot size, location, and potential to transform this classic property into a stylish, functional home. City of San Fernando guidelines also allow for the addition of an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), and nearby properties have leveraged this to expand living space or create income-producing units. Perfect for investors looking for a high-return renovation, or an owner ready to craft their dream home, the nearly 7,000 sq. ft. lot offers room for expansion, an ADU, or creative reconfiguration (buyer to verify all plans and approvals with the city). Enjoy proximity to parks, schools, restaurants, shops, and easy freeway access (210, 118, 5, 405). The surrounding community is well-established and continues to see reinvestment, making this a prime opportunity for those with vision, creativity, and a love for classic homes. Bring your contractor, designer, and imagination to unlock the full potential of this unique San Fernando property. Opportunities like this-combining location and upside-are rare.
