Description
Set along a quiet, established street in the foothills of Altadena, this approximately 9,700 sq ft lot presents a rare opportunity to rebuild in one of the area's most character-rich neighborhoods.The site offers a level, rectangular footprint. This property now stands as a blank canvasoffering buyers the chance to design and build a modern home tailored to today's lifestyle while contributing to the thoughtful revitalization of this beloved community. Located just minutes from the Altadena foothills and with easy access to Pasadena, the property benefits from a setting known for its natural beauty and proximity to hiking trails and local amenities. The lot's zoning (LCR175) supports residential development, and like many properties in the area, may offer potential for expanded square footage, ADU configuration, or a contemporary reimagining of the original footprint (buyer to verify). Prior to the fire there were three structures on the property with water running to the main house and guest house. Phase 1 and 2 clearance completed.
We estimate this home will sell faster than 86% nearby.

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe have two children at Altadena Arts Magnet currently and both are doing well. We appreciate the sense of community and support felt by teachers, staff, and the families we have come to know. The arts curriculum is strong and our kids love their classes in music, theater, arts, and dance. We are also in the French Immersion program which has given our child the confidence and community with his cohort that has helped him thrive.Parent Review1mo ago - Eliot Arts Magnet

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son just completed 6th grade and, as he is an artist, is learning so much from, not only his art and drama classes, but from the after school conservatory. He is taking two fine art/drawing classes, stop motion animation. As I have no artistic talent, he is getting much needed direction, support, and encouragement. In addition, he is getting strong core curriculum instruction. The conservatory, along with the Capturing Kids Heart program, have created a vibrant, kind, calm, and enriching environment for students to learn.A new principal was placed this year and has acclimated easily and taken the helm. I look forward to her increased attention on academics and insuring that students are being fully challenged academically as they are artistically.Parent Review1y ago - John Muir High School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOur family is proud to say that the third generation is now attending John Muir High School Early College Magnet in Pasadena, CA—and with good reason. This school has been a pillar of excellence, growth, and opportunity for our family and the entire community.John Muir High School Early College Magnet is truly a gem. Over the past several years, it has consistently delivered on its promise to provide both a strong high school education and the incredible opportunity for students to earn college credits—many even graduate with multiple Associate of Arts degrees by the time they finish high school. That’s right: students are leaving Muir not just with their high school diploma, but with college degrees in hand. This is a game-changer for families and students alike.The dedication of the teachers, staff, and administrators is second to none. They are passionate, supportive, and deeply invested in the success of every student. The programs here go beyond academics—they build character, confidence, and real-world skills.We are deeply grateful to have such an innovative and forward-thinking school in our community. John Muir High School Early College Magnet continues to be a source of pride and inspiration for our family, and we look forward to seeing future generations thrive here.Other Review1y ago
