281 E Pentagon St, Altadena Property Listing: MLS® #P1-23208

Located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, 281 E Pentagon sits on a private 11,232 square foot lot set behind a mature hedge and filled with traces of a life well-lived. A two-story, detached two-car garage remains standing, once home to an art studio where stories were shared and creativity unfolded across generations. This site was once part of the early 20th century Pentagon Ranch, a citrus and avocado orchard whose presence still lingers in the land. Several fruiting trees remain, and the property once supported a navel orange, persimmon, fig, and multiple avocado varieties. Birds still move through the canopy, and the setting carries the quiet, abundant feel of an urban farm. It is close to the city but grounded in something simpler. 281 E Pentagon offers space, privacy, and a connection to both history and nature. Whether reimagined for a new chapter or shaped with a nod to what came before, the setting invites something personal to take root. This was once the site of a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home with 1,621 square feet of living space. With Phase 2 debris removal complete, the site is cleared and ready for what comes next. The property is being sold as land only.
