* Subject property listed price vs sold prices of comps.
Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property was built in 1970 and, while it features recent cosmetic updates like fresh paint and new carpeting, the kitchen and bathrooms remain dated. The galley kitchen has older cabinetry and tile countertops that appear to be over 20 years old, and the overall aesthetic requires modernization to meet current standards.
Perfectly positioned between Madison Heights and the Playhouse District, this property offers exceptional walkability to South Lake Avenue's premier dining, shopping, and major institutions like Caltech.
At nearly 1,000 square feet, this oversized one-bedroom unit features a single-level floor plan, two bathrooms, and expansive windows showcasing serene treetop and mountain views.
Residents benefit from a robust amenity package including central A/C, a sparkling pool and spa, secure elevator access, and dedicated bike storage, enhancing the overall lifestyle value.
The lack of in-unit laundry hookups requires the use of a shared community facility, which may be a convenience drawback for modern buyers.
While updated with new appliances, the galley-style kitchen layout and 1970s building era may feel less contemporary than newer open-concept developments.
Unbeatable Location in Pasadena! Nestled perfectly between the coveted Madison Heights and the vibrant Playhouse District, and near PCC and Caltech, this light-filled, single-level condo offers 1 bedroom, 2 bathrooms, and sweeping treetop and mountain views.
