About This Home
As of June 2025Welcome to one of Pasadena’s most desirable neighborhoods—where tree-lined streets and multi-million dollar homes surround you, yet you can enjoy it all for a fraction of the cost. Nestled in a boutique 13-unit complex built in 1980, this sophisticated and modern townhome offers the perfect blend of comfort, style, and location. Step inside to find an expansive living room with soaring two-story ceilings, a striking fireplace and large private patio - ideal for both entertaining and relaxing. The formal dining room opens to the bright, airy kitchen featuring classic white Formica countertops, high-end appliances and ample cabinet space. A cozy den with built-in bookcases makes a perfect reading nook, TV lounge, or home office. The oversized primary suite includes its own fireplace, a luxurious updated bath, a custom walk-in closet, and access to a private balcony framed by jacaranda and crepe myrtle trees for natural beauty and privacy. The second bedroom offers an en-suite bath and a convenient built-in workspace. Additional highlights include an attached two-car garage with extra storage and laundry area. The beautifully maintained complex features a pool and spa, and HOA dues cover earthquake insurance, gardening, and trash service. Located just blocks from the Norton Simon Museum, Tartine, and all the shops, cafes, and restaurants of Old Town Pasadena, and for a truly unique perk—you’ll have a front-row seat to the world-famous Rose Parade.
