Rare Burbank Investment Opportunity: Two Detached Homes on a Street-to-Alley Lot Unlock tremendous potential with this unique value-add property located in the foothills of Burbank. Situated on a highly desirable street-to-alley lot, this duplex-style property features two detached legal buildings, separate gas and electric meters, and highly coveted R-4 High Density Residential Zoning. Whether you are looking to develop high-density housing, build a custom compound, or renovate and cash-flow, this fixer-upper is the blank canvas you have been waiting for. Property Highlights: Front Building: Spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom layout built in 1927, brimming with character and ready for a modern revival. Rear Building: Separate 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom unit built between 19351949, offering excellent privacy and independent alley access. Delivered Vacant: No tenant complications. Ready for immediate construction, renovation, or development upon closing. Zoning Advantage: R-4 High Density Residential Zone opens the door for significant future development or expansion in a premium Burbank pocket. Utilities: Separate gas and electric meters are already in place, keeping utility management simple and straightforward. Disclosures Ready: Many inspections and reports are completed and available for review, allowing you to buy with clarity and confidence. Bring your contractors and your imagination. Properties with this level of versatility, zoning upside, and vacant possession rarely hit the Burbank market.
