10,000 square feet of property in the heart of Altadena -- that's where the story of 2696 Casitas Ave begins. In a neighborhood where outdoor space is coveted and lots this size are increasingly rare, this property offers something buyers have been waiting for: room to breathe, room to grow, and room to build the life you've been imagining.The backyard is a true retreat -- generous, private, and ready for whatever you envision, whether that's a pool, a garden, weekend gatherings under the California sky, or simply the luxury of space. A detached two-car garage anchors the back of the property and presents compelling ADU potential, opening the door to a guest suite, artist studio, or income-generating unit that adds lasting value for years to come.And the home itself more than holds its own. Set on a peaceful street in west Altadena, this beautifully remodeled 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom bungalow is bathed in natural light -- and with updated windows throughout, that light pours in like it was designed that way. The remodeled kitchen and full bathroom are done right, with updated flooring flowing throughout the home tying it all together into a cohesive, move-in ready package. A high-efficiency 20 SEER HVAC system and new cool roof round out the upgrades, keeping the home comfortable year-round with meaningfully lower energy costs. The front garden features thoughtfully curated drought-tolerant landscaping set against sweeping San Gabriel Mountain views -- an arrival experience that stops you in your tracks.Beyond your front door, something truly exciting is happening: Altadena is rising. Bevel Coffee, the relaunched Mariposa Junction corridor, Altadena Cookie Co., Unincorporated Coffee, and the newly opened Good Neighbor Bar are all open and thriving -- a fiercely independent community of local businesses that defines what makes Altadena so singular. This is a neighborhood rebuilding with intention, creativity, and heart, and the buyers who move here now will be becoming a founding part of the new Altadena story.With hiking trails literally at your doorstep, a 24 Hour Fitness nearby, and effortless access to Pasadena, JPL, Old Town, top schools, and the greater Los Angeles metro, this is Altadena living at its very finest.
