Welcome to 100 Palmetto Drive #2! A thoughtfully updated 1-bedroom, 1-bath Craftsman cottage nestled in one of Pasadena's most beloved historic bungalow courts, designed by renowned architect Cyril Bennett. Flooded with natural light, the home highlights classic Craftsman details--including a cozy fireplace--while offering the comfort of modern upgrades.Built in 1915, this residence retains its original character with the benefit of thoughtful improvements: a brand-new roof, new HVAC, updated plumbing and electrical systems, beautifully refinished flooring, and a renovated bathroom. A full-sized washer and dryer are conveniently tucked away outdoors in a covered space. The kitchen is intentionally compact--perfect for simple, efficient living--with space to install a gas cooktop or range tailored to the new owner's style.Outdoors, fresh landscaping and mature fruit trees are complemented by newly added privacy shrubs, creating a tranquil atmosphere ideal for relaxing mornings or winding down on the spacious front porch. The home is part of a 12-unit HOA community; however, the current owner does not participate in the HOA and is not subject to its bylaws, as the HOA was newly formed at the time and the owner elected to opt out. This opt-out arrangement may be available to the buyer!Located just minutes from Old Town Pasadena, Colorado Blvd, Huntington Hospital, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and Vons, this home blends timeless Pasadena charm with modern convenience. It's an ideal alternative to condo or apartment living--offering ownership, privacy, and style in a historic setting.
