Developers, Investors, and End-Users: Two neighboring parcels (4,724 square feet + 4,723 square feet) present a rare opportunity to build on a desirable South Pasadena cul-de-sac with unobstructed south-facing views. Start fresh or make these planned custom homes a reality: With extensive groundwork already completed, the property offers an exceptional opportunity to build two custom hillside residences in a multi-million-dollar neighborhood. Live in one and rent out the other! Or merge the lots and build one home that's twice the size. Designed by renowned architectural firm Escher GuneWardena (EG Arch), the proposed homes span 1,510 square feet and 1,334 square feet, complemented by over 700 square feet of seamlessly integrated outdoor living space with matching flooring, ceilings, and lighting, plus 500-square-foot garages. EG Arch is celebrated also for its restoration and conservation of iconic midcentury landmarks, including the Eames House, Chemosphere and other works by Lautner, Neutra, Williams, A. Quincy Jones, and Ain. Geological and engineering studies were completed, city fees paid, and hillside development plans received Planning Commission approval. EG Arch may be re-engaged to resume planning approvals and building permits. Both parcels offer excellent construction access, free of the more restrictive building regulations of adjacent areas. Ideally located in the South Pasadena school district, ranked second highest in all of California, the property is approximately 15 minutes from Downtown Los Angeles and Pasadena. Horse stables, parks, golf, tennis, playgrounds, and sports fields are nearby.
