Property Description

***Charming Altadena Fixer with Huge Potential***For the first time in decades, this cherished family home is ready for its next chapter. Lovingly lived in by the same family for generations, this property offers a rare opportunity to create your dream home in one of Altadena's most desirable neighborhoods — just steps from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and with easy access to Downtown Los Angeles, Pasadena, hiking trails, and more. Nestled on a quiet, tree-lined street, the setting is secluded and serene, surrounded by mature trees and a strong sense of community — ideal for those seeking a calm retreat with easy access to city life. This 2-bedroom, 1-bath single-story residence offers approx. 960 sq ft of living space on a generous 7,586 sq ft lot perfect for outdoor entertaining, gardening, or expansion. Built in 1947, it features original charm, solid craftsmanship, and a layout full of potential. While it does need updating and loving TLC, the home radiates warmth and history — a true blank canvas for someone with vision. A standout feature is the detached 2-car garage, offering excellent potential for an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit), guesthouse, studio, or rental income opportunity — adding both flexibility and value. This is more than a house — it's a home that has been filled with love for many years, now ready for someone new to make it their own. Whether you're a first-time buyer, investor, or someone looking to build equity in a prime location, this property has significant upside potential. Bring your imagination, your toolbox, and your dreams — and come unlock the full potential of this Altadena gem.
