Property Description
UNIQUE REBUILD OPPORTUNITY - UP TO 9,555 SQ FT NEW CONSTRUCTION HOME POTENTIAL. (Completed Phase 1: Household Hazardous Debris Removal and Phase 2: Fire Debris Removal) . Situated on a generous 13,463 sq ft lot in the esteemed Farnsworth Park neighborhood of Altadena, this property offers a rare chance to rebuild a residence of up to 9,555 sq ft under Los Angeles County's "like-for-like" guidelines. This means you can reconstruct a home of the same size, location, and purpose-or smaller-without adhering to current zoning code requirements, though compliance with current building, fire, and health and safety codes is mandatory. Nestled among the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains, the location provides picturesque views and a serene environment. The property was once home to a grand three-story mansion, a piece of history associated with Altadena community. The neighborhood is rich in amenities, including the historic Farnsworth Park, known for its amphitheater and community events, and is conveniently located near delectable shopping areas and hiking trails. With easy access to major freeways and neighboring cities like Pasadena and La Cañada, this is an exceptional opportunity for buyers or investors to create a legacy home in a vibrant community.
