About This Home
As of June 2025Longing for the chance to build a brand-new home in one of San Marino’s most cherished and established neighborhoods—especially the charming and historic Oak Knoll area? 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. Imagine designing every detail to reflect your vision and lifestyle: sun-drenched living spaces, blooming gardens, and timeless design that will stand for generations to come. Set in the heart of San Marino, on a beautiful tree-lined street where timeless architecture speaks of tradition and family roots, this property can be the beginning of something deeply personal. 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. San Marino is celebrated for its top-rated public schools, including the nationally acclaimed San Marino High School, as well as its strong sense of community and historic charm. The city is also home to The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens, adding cultural richness and natural beauty to daily life. Conveniently located just minutes from Pasadena, South Pasadena, and major freeways (210 and 110), this location offers peaceful residential living with easy access to shopping, dining, and employment centers. Whether you're commuting to downtown Los Angeles or enjoying a weekend getaway, everything is within reach. A rare find in this mature and desirable location. Yes, you can build brand new on this lot. Yes, it can be two stories. And yes, this could be the start of something truly extraordinary.
