Property is new construction or fully renovated.

Key updates include a fully remodeled kitchen with new appliances and cabinetry, updated bathrooms, new flooring throughout, and a newly installed HVAC system, meeting the criteria for mint condition with no immediate maintenance required.
Situated in the highly desirable Caltech neighborhood, this property offers exceptional walkability to the California Institute of Technology and the premier shopping and dining corridor of South Lake Avenue.
The home is move-in ready featuring a fully remodeled kitchen with new appliances, updated bathrooms with skylights, new flooring, and the significant addition of a new A/C system and in-unit laundry.
As a top-floor unit with an open floor plan and expansive windows, the home enjoys superior natural light and the privacy of having no neighbors living above.
Despite the generous 1,039 square footage, the single-bedroom configuration may limit the property's appeal to smaller households or individual professionals.
The monthly association fee of $550 is relatively high for a one-bedroom condo, which could impact the total monthly carrying costs for potential buyers.
