About This Home

THREE PROPERTY TRUST SALE [3674 EMPIRE DR 10 UNITS, 4253 S CENTINELA AVE 6 UNITS, 11817 CULVER BLVD 7 UNITS] PROPERTY SUBJECT TO AN ACTIVE TENANT HABITABILITY LAWSUIT. 4253 S Centinela Avenue is a well-maintained 6-unit multifamily property located in the desirable Del Rey neighborhood of Los Angeles. Built in 1954, this is a Trust Sale offered for sale for the first time in 38 years. The property encompasses approximately 4,521 square feet of living space on a 5,000 SF lot and features a desirable unit mix of (2) 2BR/1BA and (4) 1BR/1BA units. Both 2BR/1BA units are currently vacant, offering immediate repositioning and leasing at market rate. Current rents remain approximately 32% below market, presenting a compelling value-add opportunity in a tight rental market. Ownership has completed numerous capital improvements in recent years. A new roof was installed (2025), and the required soft-story seismic retrofit has been completed (2020). The electrical system has also been recently updated with brand new meters and subpanels (2022). The property offers (2) two-car garages with rear alley access, and an on-site laundry room that generates supplemental income. The garage configuration also presents strong attached ADU potential (Buyer to Verify), providing an avenue for future expansion and increased cash flow. Ideally situated in the vibrant Del Rey submarket, 4253 S Centinela Avenue benefits from strong and consistent rental demand driven by its proximity to Culver City, Mar Vista, and Santa Monica, as well as convenient access to major transit routes and employment hubs in Culver City and Playa Vista.
