2989 Santa Rosa Avenue

This corner lot is being offered for sale for the first time in more than four decades. Once home to a craftsman residence that stood proudly for over a century, this property was impacted by the Eaton Canyon Fire. What remains is a rare opportunity to reimagine and rebuild in a special part of Altadena.Set on a gentle upslope leading to a flat building area, the original home had two bedrooms and one bath. A unique detached second unit or artist studio offered roughly 400 square feet of additional living space. The driveway and detached garage entrance was off of Las Flores. The lot offers a blank canvas for home ownership in the 21st century. Mature trees that withstood the fire still grace the over 11,000 square foot lot. Perhaps the trees will offer a bit of shade and be incorporated into the new home as a testament to Altadena's historical past and a link to new beginnings in this beloved community.Enjoy the close proximity to the shops and restaurants of Lake Avenue's commercial corridor and the community spirit of Farnsworth Park. For outdoor enthusiasts there are great hiking trails nearby. Phase I and II environmental site assessments have been completed by the Army Corps of Engineers. Buyers are advised to conduct all due diligence regarding future building requirements, permits, and utility connections. This is a drive-by only listing, please do not enter the property.
