About This Lot

As of July 2025

This amazing lot in the Farnsworth area of Altadena consists of two separate Parcel Numbers totaling over 20,000 sqft. In addition to a long driveway that grants access from the street, there is a separate access/egress from the rear of the property offering unique development potential. The original character home stood over 2000 sqft and had views of both Downtown Los Angeles and the mountains. Phase 1 clearance has been completed, and the property is in line for Phase 2 to begin shortly. A recently restored pool is still intact, as is a gazebo that offers city lights views. These lots have enough square footage between them to redraw lot lines, or to consider SB9 splits. With close proximity to Concerts in the Park, hiking trails, and everything that has made Altadena special, this promises to be an ideal location for your North Altadena dream home, your family compound, or whatever it is your imagination brings.
