Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1953, this property features a high-end renovation that appears to be 20-30 years old. While well-maintained and functional with premium appliances like Sub-Zero and Viking, the kitchen's black square tiling, track lighting, and butcher block counters are dated. The parquet flooring and bathroom fixtures also reflect an older design cycle that requires updating to meet modern luxury standards.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 25549, living area = 3752.
The property boasts unparalleled vistas of the San Gabriel Valley, Rose Bowl, and mountain ranges, offering what is described as the best poolside view in Pasadena.
This 1950s Modern masterpiece features striking geometric lines, a classic conversation pit, and polished parquet floors, preserving authentic architectural integrity.
