Property Description

Unmatched Opportunity on a prime Willow Glen corner Lot! Ideal for builders, developers, and homeowners with dreams looking to build their custom home, this home presents the ultimate blank canvas. Nestled on a wonderful picture-perfect, tree lined street, this expansive 8,330 sq. ft. corner lot offers a rare footprint just one block from the charming boutique shops, cafes, dining and neighborhood events on Lincoln Avenue. While the existing structure is currently livable and has charming character, it has significant foundation issues and a disjointed layout, making its highest and best use a magnificent new construction project or major remodel. The exceptional lot dimensions and premium corner positioning allow for a luxury estate with possible space for a detached ADU. Properties with this specific scale, lot orientation, and immediate proximity to downtown Willow Glen are incredibly rare. Buyer to verify all building, zoning, and square footage requirements with the city.
