More Insights

Built in 1952 (74 years old).
Condition: Built in 1952 and on the market for the first time in 62 years, this property's interior is severely outdated, as evidenced by the kitchen with its original-style dark wood cabinets, dated pinkish countertops, white square tile backsplash, patterned linoleum flooring, and extremely old fluorescent lighting with a stained-glass cover. The appliances, while one is Bosch, appear to be older models. The living areas feature very dated blue patterned carpet, floral wallpaper, and heavy traditional woodwork. While the exterior and lot offer significant potential, the existing home requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation, with major components needing extensive system replacements and a complete aesthetic overhaul to meet current standards. The listing itself suggests the property is a candidate for renovation, rebuilding, or adding on, indicating the current structure's condition is not a primary selling point.

About this home

BOM! First time on the market in 62 years, this mostly flat, .623 acre property is nestled on its own private drive off of lower Mandeville Canyon. Quiet and serene, the mature lush landscaping surrounds this traditional ranch home and creates a compound-worthy estate. Grandfathered setbacks offer incredible entitlements and the existing home allows easy financing for added construction. Renovate, rebuild, or add to this incredible property. With parking for multiple cars, and the land to expand, this property is ready to be built back into a dream estate. Updated survey is available upon request. Zoned for horses as well. Buyer to check specifics with city as to where a possible stable may be built. This is a rare opportunity for an owner / builder or developer. Easy to see existing vacant home.
