About This Home

As of November 2024

Incredible development potential seldom seen in South Pasadena! This RARE single family home and huge gently sloping lot is a blank canvas waiting for a visionary new owner. This is a fixer upper with boundless potential and immediate upside! Some demo has been done and the house needs to be rebuilt. Perfect developer opportunity. Surrounded by homes selling for $2,000,000 to $3,000,000!

Enormous gently sloping 10,441 square foot lot spanning an entire city block from Diamond Avenue all the way to Meridian Avenue! There is room for anything from a huge pool to the maximum sized ADU plus plenty of room left over for impressive grounds and gardens! There is a truly huge separate garage structure at the rear with its own street entrance from Meridian Avenue. Check with the city on ADU conversion.

The location is impeccable – literally just steps to South Pasadena High School. This may be the last large lot with boundless development opportunity on Diamond Avenue by South Pasadena High School. Don’t miss out – because once it’s gone there will never be another property of this scale at this price.
