About this home

MAJOR PRICE REDUCTION - Rarely does an opportunity arise to create a landmark architectural residence in one of South Pasadena’s most secluded hillside settings. Comprising two contiguous parcels and positioned high above the surrounding landscape, this exceptional development site offers sweeping westward views spanning rolling canyons, city lights, and distant skyline vistas. Currently improved with an approximately 400-square-foot structure that is considered a tear-down, the property presents a compelling canvas for developers, builders, architects, or end users seeking to design and construct a signature view estate. A concrete driveway already descends to a parking area, while utilities are available in the street, simplifying future planning and development considerations. Surrounded by a growing collection of striking contemporary residences, Hanscom Drive has become an emerging destination for modern hillside architecture. The property’s dramatic topography and elevated position lend themselves to a variety of visionary possibilities—from a sophisticated custom residence with expansive terraces and infinity-edge pool to a one-of-a-kind architectural showpiece designed to maximize privacy, natural light, and panoramic views. Imagine walls of glass framing spectacular sunsets, seamless indoor-outdoor living spaces, rooftop entertaining decks, and resort-inspired amenities overlooking the San Gabriel Valley and beyond. With neighboring luxury developments demonstrating the street’s potential, this is a unique chance to secure a premier hillside site and bring a truly exceptional vision to life. Whether creating a personal dream residence or a future trophy property for resale, The Hillside Haven offers the rare combination of location, views, scale, and untapped potential that is increasingly difficult to find in today’s market. Buyer to independently verify all development possibilities, zoning regulations, lot dimensions, utility availability, and future use with the appropriate governmental agencies.
