Build your dream home! This is a rare opportunity to build a custom residence in highly desirable Altadena. It's approximately 10,234 sq ft lot located on a quiet, elegant street (just three blocks away from Fair Oaks Ave)surrounded by upscale homes, offering privacy, serenity, and convenience. Public utilities are available by lot sidewalk for a faster construction. Houses in surrounding area have been building up (see picutures). Phases 1 & 2 debris removal have been completed, and broker/agent/seller cannot guarantee the information provided; buyers must conduct their own investigations for zoning, permits, utilities, and rebuilding requirements.
Janes Village, located between Lake Avenue and Fair Oaks Avenue, is a residential and hillside Altadena neighborhood with midcentury ranch homes and mountain-view streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Lake Avenue at Altadena Drive, where coffee counters, small eateries, and local storefronts set a low-key daily rhythm. Community pillars include the Altadena Farmers’ Market, the historic Zorthian Ranch, and the Altadena Library District’s Main Library. Curving blocks and mature trees give many streets a tucked-away feel, while trailheads and open space sit close to the foothills. Architecture leans toward single-story homes, deep setbacks, and generous lots. Weekends often point toward nearby parks, canyon paths, and casual patio dining along Lake.

Live off the land! This is a great opportunity to develop or expand on a fully fenced 10,230 square foot lot. It is located on a cul de sac, up a long driveway, which provides added privacy. This is a gardener's paradise, with many mature fruit trees and raised vegetable beds. Presently there is a 2 bedroom, 1.75 bath home with a large two car attached garage, a large storage shed and a raised deck. This is not a fixer. This property is on septic system.
