About This Home
As of May 2025Calling all contractors and investors! This property presents a unique opportunity to bring a home back to life in the desirable Montclair neighborhood. Nestled on a corner lot with private access to Thornhill Drive, this location is just steps from Thornhill Elementary, charming coffee shops, restaurants, and the vibrant Montclair Village. Enjoy the nearby Montclair Park and the convenience of easy freeway access for commuters. This property is being offered as a vacant lot with an existing structure in severe disrepair, requiring immediate demolition. The house has been deemed uninhabitable due to extensive structural damage and significant safety concerns, making it unsuitable for renovation. Buyers should note that the property is sold strictly as-is. This is an exceptional opportunity to build a brand-new home in a prime location. Bring your vision and creativity to create something extraordinary!
