Description

This top-floor corner unit, with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, offers a great floorplan and is ideally located in a vibrant Pasadena neighborhood. Set within a wonderful Mid-Century Modern complex, this stylish unit features high ceilings, an open and airy floorplan with lots of natural light, hardwood flooring, and serene treetop and mountain views. A welcoming entry leads into a spacious living room with sliding glass doors which open to a good-sized balcony surrounded by flourishing plant life. The adjoining dining room offers picturesque treetop views and flows effortlessly into the beautifully updated kitchen, complete with newer stainless steel appliances, a skylight, granite countertops, lots of cabinetry, and a convenient breakfast bar. Down the hall is the impressive primary suite, complete with a vanity area, an extra-large walk-in closet and beautiful mountain views. The second bedroom off the hallway is currently being used as a home office, and includes a double closet for additional storage. A second full bath completes this wonderful condo, which also includes an in-unit laundry, a rare feature in this complex, creating ease for everyday living. The HOA dues cover some AMAZING extras that you typically do not see covered, such as walls-in insurance (as well as exterior building insurance), earthquake insurance, hot water, and electricity usage for the cooling system within the unit (this keeps the homeowner's electricity bills quite reasonable!). The complex, surrounded by lush greenery, features a sparkling pool and spa and a community barbeque area with 2 gas powered grills. One parking space is included with the unit and there are also multiple owner overflow parking spaces. Located in a fabulous pocket of Pasadena, this condo is close to Caltech, and is ideally positioned close to top-tier supermarkets such as Erewhon, Pavilions, and Trader Joe's, popular coffee shops like Starbucks and Peet's, Walgreens pharmacy, gyms and health spas like Planet Fitness and LA Fitness, and a wide array of additional restaurants and shopping options. Welcome home!

    "Even though people are good about picking up their dogs’ poo, not everyone is a responsible dog owner. I rarely ever see any leash-less dogs. However, some people claim their dogs are service dogs when they’re out of control. Most places here do not like big dogs in the complexes. "

    "This is an absolute amazing neighborhood! It is not the type where your neighbors stay inside all day and never come out, or the type who are always nosy. It is perfect! At night there is no parties going on until like 3:00 or anything! It is quiet and nice, in the morning the birds are tweeting and you see people walking their dogs, biking, or just jogging! I totally recommend this neighborhood!"
