About this House

Offering the perfect opportunity to capitalize on the ADU craze, this plot of land has already been designed out (final permits ready to be issued) for a 1,797 sqft, 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom main unit (currently 1288sqft), a 866 sqft, 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom ADU, with an existing shared swimming pool. It would eventually become an investment that would be comfortably lived in while the spacious, comprehensive ADU collects money. The approved blueprints make efficient use of the land with a 1,680-sqft main unit housing a chic and flowing open floor plan that maintains a synergy between the living room, dining room, and kitchen. Windows would perfectly punctuate the perimeter, allowing plenty of sunshine to stream in, imbuing every room with sunkissed joy. Entertainment would be built into this property with a sizable front porch begging to be brought to life with patio furniture and good company. In the backyard, a refreshing shared swimming pool punctuates the space between the main unit and the freestanding ADU, with further lush landscaping gracing the perimeter with verdant greenery. The generous 866-sqft ADU would also boast a dedicated 2-car driveway. It would accommodate tenants or guests with a relaxing living room, quaint dining room, and a comprehensive kitchen. This ADU would even have its own dedicated address for an extra level of privacy. Situated in a gorgeous Altadena community, minutes from JPL, this single-family home and accompanying ADU are within reach to the right savvy investor.

    "Dog owners will be very pleased to live in this community. There are many pet lovers here. The only area of concern is there are wild animals living in the area; coyotes, bears, bobcats, skunk, opossum, rattlesnake and deer. Dogs and cats should never be left unmonitored in their yards, as they may be eaten or injured by coyotes at any time of the day."
