Investment Overview

The Collins-Furthmann Mansion, designed by John C. Austin, was built in 1920 for a wealthy farmer and his wife, David and Emilie Collins. Sitting on a .89 acre lot, the farmhouse offers a unique, attractive, professional space in a prime Culver City location. Originally surrounded by the Collins’ farm, the farmhouse was built on what is now known as 3801 Lenawee Avenue. The property today is comprised of a single parcel of 38,824 square feet of land. The farmhouse, a 3-story, 4,600 square foot structure, sits in the southeast corner of the lot and is bordered by a ±17-car parking lot and a large grassy field. The farmhouse is of neo-classical style and is recognized as a Historic-Cultural Monument by the City of Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Commission. The farmhouse is currently in its near-original configuration and has retained its historic character, including beautiful mahogany woodwork throughout the building, original hardware and fixtures and hardwood flooring. As you enter the building you are greeted with a welcoming foyer which leads to the historic dining room (currently configured as the conference room) featuring beautiful wood paneling, trim and built-in cabinetry, the living room (currently configured as a bullpen area) featuring a large fireplace with a wooden mantle, and a grandiose wooden staircase leading to the second story offices. The second story was originally configured as four bedrooms. The bedrooms offer spaces that could function as executive suites or as shared-space environments and which have individual restrooms. A 420-square-foot office sits atop the second story offering an amazing space with beautiful views of the property and surrounding area – a unique, peaceful space. The third-story office also provides access to the rooftop deck, which is one of the nicest outdoor spaces in the city and is a blank slate that can be transformed into a personal space to fit your liking. Situated one mile south-east of downtown Culver City, the site is located on the border of a transition area between a small commercial pocket and a single-family residential neighborhood. The location is proximate to eateries and retail while at the same time offering a peaceful, safe location adjacent to a residential neighborhood. The site has a gated ±17-car parking lot adjacent to the building. The property has a large grassy field with trees and shrubbery as well as a secluded outdoor patio area. The Collins Farmhouse offers a beautiful, unique, character-rich space in a prime Culver City location. The property is a must-see for those interested in office space in Culver City.
