Remarks

Rebuild, Reimagine, Reinvest -- A Rare Altadena Opportunity. Be part of the community's inspiring comeback. This SB9-zoned lot opens the door to serious upside: per LA County Planning, the parcel can accommodate two duplexes plus two ADUs -- a compelling rental income play -- or you can design a custom single-family home (up to 25% of buildable lot net) plus an ADU, tailored entirely to your vision.Set on a short, quiet, highly desirable street, the lot enjoys sweeping views of the San Gabriel Mountains and an unbeatable location: minutes to the shops and restaurants along Mariposa and Lincoln Avenues, nearby hiking trails and parks, and a Trader Joe's just up the road in La Canada. Pasadena's celebrated arts, dining, and shopping scene is 10 minutes away, with easy freeway access to Dodger Stadium, DTLA, and the Burbank studios. Disclosures: Buyers should independently verify all zoning, permitting, and rebuilding requirements with Los Angeles County, and confirm utility status with local providers. Buyers are responsible for their own due diligence regarding future development potential, unit count, required lot size, zoning, and taxes. Property is sold as-is, with no warranties or guarantees of future use. Please see the two documents in the MLS 'Documents' folder, including t
