About This Lot
As of May 2025Incredible opportunity to build your dream home or make a smart investment in a quiet Altadena enclave, surrounded by nature while being just moments from local amenities. Positioned on the north side of the street with the San Gabriel Mountains as a stunning backdrop, this lot presents an ideal canvas to bring your vision to life. Just steps from Farnsworth Park and easy access to iconic hiking spots like Echo Mountain Trailhead and Millard Falls Trailhead. Tucked away from traffic noise, experience a rare sense of peace and quiet that is an uncommon find in Los Angeles, especially while being just 15 minutes from Old Pasadena and the Playhouse District. Once home to a spacious 3 bedroom, 3 bath, 1,844 sq ft home with a 2 car garage, this now-vacant lot spans over 46 feet in width and nearly 153 feet in depth, totaling 6,992 sq ft, as recorded by the LA County Assessor. With Phase 1 and Phase 2 debris removal already completed, this property is a clean slate with endless potential in a vibrant, well-established community that captures both the charm of Altadena and all it will be again.
