About This Lot
Located on the corner of El Molino Ave and E Sacramento St, just two blocks north of Woodbury Rd and a short stroll from the historic Christmas Tree Lane. This R-2 zoned corner lot presents a rare opportunity to restore a multi-unit property in a prime Altadena location. The lot previously featured three units: two ground-level units (2-bed/1-bath and 1-bed/1-bath), an upstairs 3-bed/2-bath penthouse with mountain views, and a detached 3-car garage. Phase 2 debris removal completed. The lot is ready for a fresh start. Ideal for a homeowner looking to develop multiple units, live in one, and rent out the others. Land is being sold in its current as-is condition. Drive by only. Please do not enter the property for your safety.
