Property Description
Set high in the Foothills on a quiet cul-de-sac, this gently sloping 9,062 square foot site offers an exceptional opportunity to build in one of Altadena's most sought-after neighborhoods. Just moments from Farnsworth Park and the area's renowned trail network, it captures the essence of foothill living: clear mountain air, the scent of chaparral, and a peaceful setting with sweeping views of the San Gabriel Mountains, the valley below and unforgettable sunsets. A 1,692 square foot home once occupied the site, and under the Altadena Community Standards District guidelines, a new residence of nearly 3,000 square feet plus a separate ADU may be permissible. Both Phases I and II of cleanup and debris removal have been completed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the parcel now qualifies for express lane rebuilding, streamlining the path to new construction.
