First time on the market in nearly 54 years! Rare opportunity to own a vintage 1936 duplex nestled in the coveted Ocean Park neighborhood of Santa Monica -- just 8 blocks to the beach, with views! Situated on an approximately 5,500 sq. ft. lot (50' x 110') and zoned SMOP2, this property suits a variety of buyers: (1) first-time fixer-upper buyers wanting a foothold in this desirable area; (2) buyers looking for a major restoration or expansion; or (3) spec builders/investors seeking to maximize potential in a prime location. Located on a quiet street, the property features two charming 1-bedroom units, plus a bonus basement room with ensuite bath and a detached garage. Fully gated, the inviting front yard is accented by mature trees. Front Unit (711 Pier Ave): Set gracefully on a hill with city views, this unit feels private, like a single-family home. Bright and airy, the spacious living area features a cozy gas fireplace, hardwood floors, and beamed ceilings -- creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. The original kitchen opens easily to the dining area, living room, and a balcony ideal for enjoying city and treetop views. The bedroom includes multiple closets and an ensuite bathroom. Rear Unit (711 1/2 Pier Ave): This delightful 1-bedroom, 2-bath unit has a charming front porch, hardwood floors, and an open living room with beamed ceilings. The living area flows naturally into an adjacent dining area or den -- perfect for a home office -- and connects nicely to the kitchen. The bedroom offers generous storage, an ensuite bathroom, and direct access to the backyard. The second bathroom would easily convert to a convenient laundry room. The bonus basement room with ensuite bath is great for guests or a private home office. Enjoy the convenience of an outstanding location -- only blocks to retail, and Main Street's vibrant shops and restaurants. Whether renovating the existing structure or starting fresh, don't miss your chance to own a special property in Ocean Park's eclectic community. Property will be delivered vacant.
