Pros & Cons

Pros

Unparalleled Development Opportunity: Represents the last undeveloped contiguous triple lots in the Venice Canals, offering immense flexibility to design a custom compound, multiple dwellings, or a substantial 3,500 sqft home.
Prime Canal-Front Location: Situated at the heart of the Venice Canals on Linnie Canal, directly across from a park, providing a highly desirable and picturesque setting with excellent community appeal.
Brand New, Luxurious Studio Dwelling: Includes a recently completed, never-occupied 436 sqft studio with high-end finishes, custom kitchen, and a canal-facing deck, offering immediate move-in readiness and a quality foundation.
Rare Triple Lot Configuration: One of only four triple lots in the entire 350-home community, presenting a unique and scarce opportunity for significant property aggregation and value creation.
Immediate Equity Potential: The property offers 'immediate equity for something new rather than paying up for something old,' allowing a buyer to build to their specifications and potentially sell off a portion for cost recovery.

Cons

Limited Existing Habitable Space: The current primary dwelling is a compact 436 sqft studio, necessitating substantial additional construction and investment to create a full-sized residence suitable for the price point.
Significant Future Investment Required: Realizing the property's full potential as a multi-structure compound or larger home will demand considerable financial outlay for design, permits, and construction beyond the initial purchase price.
Potential Historic Review Implications: The existing canal-facing dwelling is on 'Survey LA,' which, while not a full historic designation, could introduce additional review processes or design considerations during future development.
