One of the best lots on Erskine. Mostly flat with a finished hillside. This is a 13803 square foot lot with potential to build a beautiful home with ocean and canyon view. House was 3049 sf. Walking distance to the Palisades Village and the beach. The sellers of this property want the buyer to know that the family has been here since 1955 and put 70 years of love and care into the property, only to lose it in the Palisades Fire. The landscape in front with meandering walkways, waterfalls and ponds, was a labor of love weekend after weekend of this family working together over three generations to create what was a beautiful place. The seller is hopeful that whoever buys the property knows that this is a special place. The property has a level entrance on the Bowdoin Alley side where the previous house had two, two car garages with a small studio apartment besides them. At the front of the property on Erskine Dr. side, there is a large, permitted retaining wall halfway up the bank. Below the retaining wall there are terraced landscape walls for planting. To enter the property from Erskine Dr. you walk through a small wrought iron fence on to meandering concrete and stone walkway with an iron handrail following the path. The path has a pond and sitting area midway up that is fed by a manmade waterfall coming from an upper larger pond. The upper pond has a fountain with its own custom rock waterfall and flagstone deck. The water rapids travel underneath a custom arched foot bridge. There are great planting beds along the path and plenty of concrete seating for relaxation and meditation. Above the foot bridge is an interesting, custom brick and stone hardscape with great accents. The path ascends to a concrete patio overlook where you have a great view of Temescal canyon all the way to the ocean.
