About This Home

As of April 2025

Offer deadline - Wednesday, March 12 @ 5:00PM. Superbly sited mid-block on a 6,637 square foot (45'x147.5' per assessor) R2-1 TOC 1 lot in the heart of Sawtelle Japantown, this spoiled Spanish bungalow in nearly original condition is ripe for remodeling or redevelopment into 2 or more trophy units! Anchored by a brick fireplace and punctuated by sweet stained glass windows, the bright living room is open to the dining area and adjoins the classic kitchen highlighted by a laundry room that leads to a covered outdoor patio. 2 generous bedrooms along with a bonus room and 2 vintage baths complete the picture. Gleaming hardwood floors, lath and plaster walls, casement windows and a few built-ins exemplify period details, while copper plumbing and a 100 amp electrical panel are modern conveniences. Fall in love with the expansive park-like backyard highlighted by a covered patio and mature citrus trees, or the detached 1-car garage which could have great ADU potential. Centrally close to Mar Vista, Santa Monica, Westwood, Venice, and Century City and in the company of newer and vastly more expensive architectural marvels. Do a little, or do a lot, explore this promising value in a highly coveted North of Olympic locale.
