Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1954 and sold in its current 'as-is' condition, the property is marketed primarily as a land-value opportunity for 'world-class new construction.' Visual evidence shows significant deferred maintenance, including extensive cracking in the driveway and pool deck, and a very dated detached structure. The absence of interior photos, combined with the description's emphasis on the lot as a 'canvas' and the need for an architect, indicates that the kitchen, bathrooms, and major systems are likely at the end of their functional lifespan and require substantial rehabilitation.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 25775, living area = 2769.
The property features a rare 0.59-acre flat lot with a 101-foot wide frontage, providing a massive and versatile footprint for a grand-scale estate or world-class new construction.
Situated on a coveted, tree-lined street in the heart of San Marino, the home is just one block from the Crowell Public Library and top-tier Valentine Elementary and Huntington Middle Schools.
Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =25775, other record lot size in square feet = 24764. Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 2769, other record living area = 2369.
The property is being sold in its current condition, which likely necessitates a total renovation or complete teardown to meet the standards of the surrounding luxury market.
The existing 2,369-square-foot ranch home is relatively modest compared to the massive lot size, making the purchase primarily a land-value play for most buyers.
Discover an unparalleled opportunity to create your dream legacy on one of San Marino’s most coveted, tree-lined streets. This expansive, flat lot offers a rare 101-foot wide street frontage and a depth of 250 feet, providing a magnificent footprint for a grand-scale renovation or world-class new construction. While public records reflect a lot size of 24,764 SF, a professional survey indicates a staggering 25,775 SF of land—a massive 0.59-acre canvas. The property is fully gated with both front and rear driveway access, ensuring ultimate privacy and security. The main home is a charming 3-bedroom, 4-bathroom ranch boasting 2,369 SF of gracious living space. Step inside to a sun-drenched living room with a classic fireplace, leading to an upgraded primary suite and two additional well-appointed bedrooms. The family room offers a "walls of glass" feel with picturesque views of the lush, landscaped rear yard, mature trees, and a sparkling pool. A significant highlight is the detached structure located behind the garage. This approximately 400 SF bonus area—not included in the official title square footage—features a workshop, two versatile rooms, and a bathroom with a shower. Under grandfathered status, this space offers incredible utility as a private home office, guest quarters, or artist’s studio.
