    Description

    RARE DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY. SIDE BY SIDE R-3 zoned lots for sale Located north of Altadena Drive, this neighborhood is highly desirable and has the ability to build multi-family units. This lot is currently zoned R-3 and located in a small north Altadena pocket that currently offers multi-family housing. This lot housed a single-family residence prior to being completely burned down in the January 2025 Eaton Fire. This lot is being sold AS IS. The current owner opted into both phase 1 and phase 2 (debris removal) with the Army Corp. of Engineers. Phase 1 has been completed but phase 2 has not yet been done. All information provided is from third parties, and the agent cannot and will not verify its accuracy. Buyers are responsible for conducting their own investigations to satisfy themselves regarding all aspects of the property, including future development, lot size, neighborhood designation, school zoning, permitted uses development potential, rebuilding requirements, and taxes. The seller and listing broker make no warranties or guarantees regarding future land use or approvals. This is a burn site and due to liability reasons, we ask that you DO NOT WALK ON THE PROPERTY. PLEASE NOTE: The lot next door, 678 E. Pine St. (APN# 5841-031-019. MLS#AR25053712 ), is also available for sale and is also zoned R-3. This could offer a potential multi-family development opportunity with side-by-side R-3 lots. The lot next door is also for sale and owners of both properties would prefer to sell the lots together.
    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.

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."
