Located on one of Altadena’s character-filled streets, this 8,589 sq ft lot offers a rare opportunity to rebuild in a historic and highly desirable neighborhood. Formerly home to a charming 1930s residence, the property was cleared following the Eaton Canyon fire that impacted parts of Altadena and Pasadena. Hazardous material removal has already been completed.
With 43 feet of frontage and nearly 200 feet of depth, this flat lot gives you room to build the home and lifestyle you’ve been envisioning. It’s larger than most in the neighborhood, yet priced at just $69 per square foot, offering one of the strongest return-on-investment opportunities in Altadena. Mature trees surround the property, offering privacy and a peaceful backdrop. And with quick freeway access, you're only minutes from Pasadena, DTLA, and everything in between. Development opportunities like this are rare and when they do come up, they don’t last long. If you’re even thinking about building in Altadena, this is one you’ll want to walk in person.
