Description​​​

​​

5254 Alhambra Ave offers an exceptional investment or owner-user opportunity in El Sereno, one of Northeast Los Angeles’ evolving commercial corridors. This fantastic live-work creative space is currently divided into 2 main areas: the front is currently used for events, pop-ups, etc. and the rear is used as a live-work creative studio with a small bedroom and back room that is separate from the main living/studio space. The building was originally one large area, and the dividing wall can be removed to restore it to one large commercial space if desired. Priced to sell, the property sits on an approximately 2,500 SF lot and features a 2,160 SF commercial building, plus an additional 300 SF bonus exterior storage (Buyer to verify).

 

 

Upgraded interiors feature polished concrete floors, 2 skylights, 3 mini splits, 2 remodeled bathrooms, upgraded 3 phase electrical, and part of the roof has been replaced in the last 3 years. There is unofficial parking up against the building that could fit 3-4 cars. Located extremely close to Cal State LA and Alhambra, the property benefits from excellent access to surrounding restaurants, cafés, retail, and neighborhood businesses.
