Property Detail
Description
Nestled on one of Altadena's most desirable streets, 1520 Carroll Drive presents a rare opportunity to rebuild in an exclusive and distinguished neighborhood at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains. Just one block from the historic Altadena Country Club, and tucked away on a quiet, private cul-de-sac, the location offers an exceptional sense of seclusion and privacy rarely found this close to the many venues Altadena has to offer.At over a third of an acre, this expansive and remarkably versatile property consists of 2 parcels and is large enough to accommodate a grand single-family estate. It also could provide an intriguing possibility for the right buyer to explore a lot split and unlock even greater value from this exceptional piece of land.This generous lot commands sweeping views across the full San Gabriel range, while decades of lush, mature landscaping -- towering trees, established plantings, and verdant grounds create a park-like setting and lovely sanctuary for birds and nature lovers alike. When entering these grounds, you can feel an immediate sense of arrival, privacy, and accomplishment that simply cannot be replicated on a raw lot. The pool anchors the outdoor space -- a resort-style amenity that new construction rarely inherits and buyers consistently seek.The home was lost to the recent Altadena fires, but what the fire miraculously did not touch is everything that made this property extraordinary -- the views, the mature landscaping, the pool, the prime address, and the neighborhood prestige that took generations to establish.Altadena has long appealed to those who want the very best of both worlds: the tranquility and beauty of foothills living paired with fast, convenient access to Pasadena, JPL, Old Town, and the greater Los Angeles metro -- and Carroll Drive is situated in the absolute heart of that appeal.For the investor, developer, or visionary buyer who recognizes the difference between a lot and a legacy property and understands the rarity of securing a foothold in a neighborhood of this caliber -- this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity, with the finest ingredients already in place and a future luxury home waiting to be realized. Bring your architect. The setting and the story are already here. Don't miss this opportunity to make this property the place 'Where Your Home Happens.'
