Opportunities like this are truly once in a generation. At 1212 Roanoke Road, a rare opportunity awaits. While the original home was damaged by fire, what remains is far more than just land—it's a blank canvas full of potential, ready for a fresh new beginning. Set on a generous 12,338 square foot lot with an ideal 75-foot frontage and knoll view, this parcel offers the perfect proportions for a custom-built residence—not too big, not too small, just right for elegant, upscale living. Whether you envision a graceful two-story estate or a refined single-story retreat, the setting offers a rare balance—room to breathe, space to grow, and the kind of privacy that nurtures peace, creativity, and connection.

It’s your chance to build the home you’ve always dreamed of in one of Southern California’s most treasured communities. Fresh flowers still bloom in the front yard—a quiet, beautiful symbol of hope, renewal, and the future that lies ahead. This is your moment to transform potential into a lasting home.
