What's special
RARE BUILD-TO-SUIT OPPORTUNITY — FULLY GUTTED & EXTRA-LARGE LOT! Calling all investors, developers, builders, and visionaries! This property has been completely gutted and sits on an extra-large lot, offering an exceptional opportunity to create a custom mansion with space for up to 17 spacious bedrooms. Design and build to suit your vision, with tremendous flexibility for a large luxury residence, multi-generational home, or other permitted use. The basement features nearly 8-foot ceilings, providing valuable additional space and flexibility. Basement waterproofing was completed in 2025 with a perimeter drain system. Adding to the property's unique features is a steel security wall enclosing the rear of the home, offering enhanced privacy, security, and separation from the surrounding area. This is truly a blank-canvas build-to-suit opportunity on an oversized lot. Bring your architect, builder, and vision and create something completely customized from the ground up. The possibilities are substantial, subject to applicable zoning, permits, and building requirements.
