At the end of a picturesque cul-de-sac on Mar Vista Hill, west of Beethoven, sits this exceptional opportunity on an expansive 11,536-square-foot lot. The existing two-story traditional home offers 6 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a family room with fireplace, and a large adjacent bonus room, creating multiple possibilities for investors, builders, and end users alike. Whether you're seeking the ideal fix-and-flip project, a major renovation opportunity, or a premier site for a new custom estate, the potential here is undeniable. A newly constructed home directly behind the property, on a similar but slightly larger lot, sold for $7,100,000 in 2024, underscoring the value and desirability of this coveted neighborhood. With numerous luxury homes recently completed nearby and very few lots of this size remaining, this is a rare chance to secure one of Mar Vista Hill's most desirable building sites and create a truly one-of-a-kind custom residence.
