Description

Looking for a project with an incredible payoff? This 1920s Craftsman, on the market for the first time in 54 years, is a rare find in the historic Orange Heights neighborhood. This home is a complete fixer-upper and a blank canvas for a visionary buyer. While it needs a top-to-bottom renovation, its original soul is intact, offering a truly unique opportunity to restore a piece of history.

This property may qualify for the Mills Act, which could provide a massive property tax reduction, making this a smart long-term investment.

The home retains many of its original features, including stained-glass windows, Batchelder tile fireplace, and intricate built-in cabinets with leaded-glass fronts. The hardwood floors, sanded only twice in over five decades, are ready to be stripped and brought back to life.

The kitchen requires a full gut and remodel, and the entire home is a blank slate. The floor plan includes a main-level living room, a formal dining room, one bedroom, and a full bath. A sunroom offers a small retreat, and a half basement provides extra storage. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms and a full bath, with the potential to convert the space back into a large primary suite.

The oversized lot includes a private yard with a large pool, perfect for entertaining. The detached Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) has a full bath and kitchenette, offering possibilities for rental income, a studio, or a guest house or take it down and use it for outdoor entertaining space !

The property has some recent updates, including replaced sewer lines under the house, new pipes from the 1990s, and a water heater from three years ago. The roof was inspected and repaired in 2024. The property also includes an original garage, a shed, and a storage barn.

This is more than a house; it's a chance to embark on an incredible restoration project and own a home with both historic significance and huge potential.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from October 15, 2025

    "We live on Glen Ave which is a quiet street with really good neighbors all around. It's much more attractive and well kept than South of Washington or immediately North of Woodbury, although North of Woodbury has been gentrifying extremely rapidly especially since Covid started. There are quite a few churches and a Buddhist temple. This area is very convenient with really awesome supermarkets like Super King and Vallarta that have much better produce options than Vons or Pavilions, which are also nearby. It's extremely quick to get to Trader Joe's as well. You can easily access outdoor and water activities at the Rose Bowl, the arroyo, or Descanso Gardens and there is a 24 hour fitness at Woodbury & Lincoln if you want to stay indoors. The kids from the high school walk home through the neighborhood but they generally behave themselves and it hasn't been a problem. Street parking is easy but guests parking overnight in Pasadena need a $5 permit that you get from a kiosk at the fire station on Fair Oaks."

I mean other than the “landlord” there (she’s long gone btw) , and there was the occasional parties that personally didn’t bug me but I know how it can be. But anyway Altadena is really cool and mostly quiet. And ever now and then you’ll see a couple of horseback riders which I love and I’d say that sorta unique."
