Description:

1118-1120 Sanborn Ave is a rare five-unit Silver Lake investment, one parcel north of Sunset Blvd and steps from Sunset Junction. The property consists of one freestanding two-bedroom, two-bath house of about 1,250 SF and four one-bedroom, one-bath units in two 1920s duplexes, across three buildings on a 6,250 SF lot (3,110 SF of building area, LARD2 zoning).

All five units are occupied. In-place rents are roughly 33% below market, and the freestanding house offers an owner-occupier opportunity through the landlord occupancy provision of the Los Angeles Rent Stabilization Ordinance.
