Exceptional architectural development opportunity in the prestigious Chevy Chase Canyon neighborhood of Glendale. Situated on a 5,667-square-foot hillside lot, this property comes with an extensive modern contemporary design package for a stunning multi-level custom residence thoughtfully designed to blend into the natural canyon surroundings. The proposed plans feature approximately 1,659 square feet of living space with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, expansive balconies and decks, open-concept living areas, attached 2-car garage access, and dramatic hillside architectural elements designed to maximize privacy, natural light, and canyon views. This is far more than a raw vacant lot. Significant pre-development work has already been completed, including architectural plans, grading concepts, structural coordination, surveying, soils/geotechnical engineering, and landscape planning, providing a substantial head start for developers, investors, architects, or owner-builders seeking a custom luxury hillside project. The plans incorporate retaining wall design, fire zone compliance considerations, modern landscaping integration, and functional driveway/garage access solutions specifically tailored for the site’s topography. Located in one of Glendale’s most desirable canyon communities, the property offers close proximity to Chevy Chase Country Club, Descanso Gardens, The Americana at Brand, Downtown Glendale, Pasadena, and major commuter routes while maintaining a serene residential hillside setting surrounded by nature and upscale custom homes. The neighborhood continues to experience strong demand for modern architectural residences and luxury hillside development opportunities. An outstanding opportunity to accelerate the development process with an already assembled consultant team and sophisticated contemporary design vision in place. Ideal for developers seeking their next luxury spec project or end-users looking to build a one-of-a-kind custom home in a highly sought-after Glendale location. Buyer to independently verify all development potential, zoning requirements, permits, plans, approvals, square footage, and feasibility with the City of Glendale and all applicable agencies.
