Zoned Equine District (LCR17500ED), this property offers rare flexibility, permitting horse keeping, expansive gardening, and the potential to add barns, garages, sheds, or an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit). It’s ideal for hobbyists, animal lovers, or multi-generational households seeking space and versatility.

The primary bedroom boasts a walk-in closet, while the second bedroom includes a private entry, ideal for guests or a home office. For the eco-conscious, a fully paid and transferable Tesla solar system (installed 14 years ago) provides long-term energy savings.

This is a truly special opportunity to own a heritage-rich property with land, charm, and zoning flexibility in one of Altadena’s most desirable enclaves.
