About This Home
As of November 2025Located on a flat 8,900 sq ft lot in a desirable Altadena neighborhood, this property presents a compelling opportunity for redevelopment or restoration. Originally built in 1956, the front home spans 1,346 sq ft and retains several of its original features, including period windows and mid-century details. Previously configured as a triplex—with a front single-family residence and a rear duplex totaling over 3,000 sq ft—the property is now a single-family home following the loss of the rear units in the Eaton Canyon fires. The front structure was spared and remains intact, offering a solid foundation for renovation. Whether you're an investor, builder, or homeowner with a vision, this property offers significant potential in a sought-after location. Delivered vacant.
