Open House: Sunday Sep 27 between 1 PM - 4 PM 6055 Melvin Ave, Tarzana

Price: $750,000
Beds, Baths: 3 BR, 2 BA
Floor Area: 1,642 sq. ft.
Per the Listing: "Melody Acres gated home with tremendous potential. Three bedroom and 2 bath home with tennis court on over half an acre flat lot. Remodeled kitchen and baths. Beautiful front yard with charming tree and large backyard with Tennis court. This is an incredible opportunity for an owner user or developer in this desirable area. Property is being sold in its "as-is" condition."

What are the chances that part of this listing's "as-is condition" means that the property looks as insanely over-saturated in person as it does in its photo gallery? Probably quite low, but it'd be pretty cool if that turned out to be the case. Developed back when the San Fernando Valley consisted largely of ranches, farms, and orchards, Tarzana's delightfully named Melody Acres neighborhood is zoned RA ("Residential Agricultural"), which means each of its approximately 300 lots measures at least 17,500 square feet, with wide clearances between houses. Residents are also legally allowed to keep horses, goats, mules, chickens, turkeys, and other farm animals.
