Build your dream home in the Pacific Palisades without starting from scratch. 709 Swarthmore Avenue offers something increasingly rare in the Palisades: the opportunity to build a 5,463-square-foot, 5-bedroom custom residence with ocean and mountain views, Ready to Issue (RTI) plans, and an experienced developer already in place with a construction contract at $550 per square foot. Thoughtfully designed across three levels, the home features 5 full baths and 2 powder rooms, an open-concept kitchen and family room, formal dining area, butler's pantry, a luxurious primary suite, and a finished lower level designed for entertaining with a private theater, bar, recreation area, and guest suite. Outdoor amenities include a pool and spa, covered patio, balconies, and rooftop deck, providing multiple spaces to enjoy the ocean and mountain views and Southern California's indoor-outdoor lifestyle. An attached two-car garage completes the residence. Set on a flat lot in the coveted Via Bluffs, just moments from the Palisades Village, the property offers convenient access to shopping, dining, parks, trails, schools, and the beach. The next owner can assume the existing development contract and enjoy a streamlined, white-glove path from construction through completion. Rather than starting with a vacant lot and navigating architects, plans, permitting, and the search for a builder, much of the groundwork is already complete. The plans are RTI. The developer is in place. The construction contract is secured. All that's left is to make it​​‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌​ yours.
