About 5003 Kester Avenue
Excellent development opportunity in prime Sherman Oaks, north of the boulevard, situated on a flat corner lot in a highly desirable residential neighborhood close to Ventura Blvd shopping, dining, amenities and Kester Elementary. Currently improved with a duplex consisting of a 3 bed, 1 bath unit (1,184 SF) that is tenant occupied and a 1 bed, 1 bath unit (440 SF) with fire damage, this property is being sold for land value with the buyer to inherit the existing tenant.

All utilities are already on site, providing a streamlined path for future development. Rare chance to secure a well-located parcel with significant upside in one of the Valley’s most sought-after communities.
