Tear down
The MLS listing explicitly states this is a 'vacant lot' where the previous 1957-built home was 'lost in the Eaton Fire.' Therefore, there is no existing residential structure to evaluate for kitchen, bathroom, flooring, or other interior features. While the property boasts recently installed (less than two years old) outdoor amenities such as a pool, spa, sports court, outdoor kitchen area, and landscaping, these are features of the land, not a habitable dwelling. The images showing interior spaces and a completed modern home are renderings or examples of the potential new build, not the current state of the property. As there is no livable structure, and the property's value is based on the land and its potential for redevelopment, it falls under the 'tear-down' category for the residential component.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Pre-Approved Architectural Plans: Includes recently approved architectural plans (2023 construction), significantly saving time and money in the design and permitting phases for a new build.
Extensive Existing Amenities: Resort-style amenities such as a pool & spa, outdoor kitchen/BBQ, private sports court, artificial turf, landscaping, and a gated circular driveway are already in place and less than two years old, offering substantial cost savings.
Large Flat Estate Lot: An expansive, flat 20,000+ sq ft estate lot located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac provides an ideal and private setting for a custom home.
Utilities and Septic System in Place: All essential utilities (water, electricity, gas) and a newer septic system (2 years old) are already established, streamlining the construction process for a new home.
Prime Altadena Location & Views: Situated in a coveted Altadena neighborhood near the Altadena Town & Country Club, offering a peaceful setting and breathtaking mountain views.

Cons

Requires Full New Construction: The original 4,200 sq ft home was lost in a fire, meaning a complete new build is required, which entails significant construction costs and project management.
Buyer Due Diligence Required: The listing explicitly states that the buyer must verify all development potential, zoning, lot size, utilities, and permitting with Los Angeles County, placing the burden of extensive research on the buyer.
Fire History: The property's past involvement in the Eaton Fire, while debris removal is completed, might be a psychological deterrent for some buyers or raise concerns about the site's history.
