Tear down
The property was built in 1964, making it 60 years old. The listing explicitly states it's a 'development opportunity' with 'RTI plans... to replace the current... home' with a new 7,000 sqft structure. The images provided are renderings of the proposed new construction, not the existing house. This indicates the current structure is considered obsolete and is intended for demolition, with the property's value lying in the land and redevelopment potential.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Ready-to-Issue Development Plans (RTI): The property comes with 'RTI plans ready for issue' for a stunning 7,000 sqft, 3-story, 5-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom contemporary home, significantly streamlining and de-risking the development process.
Expansive Prime Lot: A generous 17,887 sqft (approx. 0.41 acre) lot provides ample space for a large luxury residence, a poolside ADU, and extensive outdoor living areas in a desirable neighborhood.
Desirable Location: Situated on a quiet cul-de-sac in one of Granada Hills' best neighborhoods, offering enhanced privacy, tranquility, and a prestigious address.
Potential for High-End Features: The approved plans include luxury amenities such as a basement, elevator, multiple balconies, and a poolside ADU, promising a truly opulent and modern living experience.
Significant Value-Add Opportunity: This is a prime development opportunity to transform an existing structure into a substantially larger and more valuable contemporary estate, offering considerable equity growth potential.
Cons
Substantial Capital Investment Required: Beyond the purchase price, the buyer must be prepared for a significant financial outlay for the construction of the 7,000 sqft luxury home, which will be a multi-million dollar project.
Major Construction Project Management: The buyer will need to undertake and manage a large-scale construction project, requiring considerable time, effort, and expertise in overseeing contractors and adhering to timelines.
Existing Structure Demolition: The current 1964 home is slated for replacement, necessitating demolition costs and the inconvenience of not having an immediate move-in ready residence.
