Property Description

Half-Acre Lot in Altadena's Coveted Country Club Area with SB 9 Approved, Ready-to-Issue Plans for Four Homes! A rare offering in one of Altadena's most sought-after pockets: more than half an acre of cleared land with ready-to-issue plans for a four-residence Spanish-style compound, approved by Los Angeles County under California's SB 9. Skip the long wait and the uncertainty of entitlement. Nearly two years of design work and plan check are already complete, and the approvals are in hand. The location is the best of Altadena. Set on palm-lined East Altadena Drive among grand estate lots and character homes, the property is moments from the historic Altadena Town & Country Club, the heart of the community since 1910, where neighbors gather for tennis, pickleball, fine dining, and afternoons by the pool. The 22,882 square foot lot offers 100 feet of frontage and more than 220 feet of depth, with San Gabriel Mountain views and mature olive and elm trees that speak to the property's storied past. The approved design honors the grand 1920s Spanish Revival home that once stood here, reimagined as two 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath primary residences and two detached 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath homes. Each has its own outdoor space, and all four share discreet below-grade parking for six cars, tucked out of sight. The two primary residences were intentionally designed at 1,800 square feet each to keep construction costs manageable. With a lot of this size, a buyer who wants more house has room to explore larger primary homes if they wish. White stucco, clay tile, arched entries, and iron balconies carry the character of old Altadena forward, while fire-resistant materials, native landscaping, and a planned greywater system build for the future. Live in one and lease the others, bring several generations together on one property, or hold it as a legacy investment in a community that is coming back stronger than ever. SB 9 approvals of this scale, this far along, are scarce in Altadena. Plans and permit details available on request. A century of history, a clear path forward, and room for everyone you love.
