Property is move-in ready.
Built in 1980, this unit is well-maintained and move-in ready with recent cosmetic updates including new luxury vinyl flooring and carpeting. While the kitchen and bathrooms are functional and turnkey, the presence of tile countertops and older gold-framed shower fixtures indicates the major renovations are likely in the 5-15 year range rather than a total modern overhaul.
Situated in one of Pasadena's most desirable neighborhoods, this property offers exceptional walkability and proximity to the South Lake District, Old Town, and Cal-Tech.
This bright corner residence features high ceilings, luxury vinyl flooring, and a functional floor plan that includes a dedicated in-unit laundry room and a private wet bar for entertaining.
The gated complex provides a resort-style living experience with a pool, spa, fitness center, sauna, and the rare convenience of secure side-by-side parking.
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1226, other record living area = 1154.
While functional and well-maintained, the tile countertops and tray ceiling in the kitchen may be perceived as dated by buyers looking for modern stone surfaces and contemporary lighting.
The $575 monthly association fee is a significant recurring cost that may impact the budget and overall affordability for some prospective purchasers.
