Introducing 8818 Arcadia Avenue, San Gabriel, a rare gem with tremendous potential in one of the area's most rapidly appreciating neighborhoods.
Sitting on a generous lot nearly 14,200 sq.ft. lot, this charming home presents one of the most valuable development opportunities in North San Gabriel. Whether you're looking to build a brand-new custom residence, explore SB9 lot-split and multi-unit development potential, or simply renovate and expand the existing home, this property offers endless possibilities.

Inside, you'll find 3 spacious bedrooms, 2 well-sized bathrooms, a bright living room that flows into the dining area, an oversized family room, and a separate laundry room, all providing a functional layout with plenty of room for reimagining. The home has just been refreshed with new interior paint and decluttering, making it feel light, clean, and full of potential. Even minimal landscaping can transform the expansive yard into a private, park-like retreat.
