About This Home
As of August 2025This exquisitely renovated residence offers an elevated living experience in one of Pasadena's most desirable communities. From the beautifully carved solid wood front door to the thoughtfully designed interior, every detail speaks of elegance, comfort & timeless style. The formal entry welcomes you with a custom tray ceiling & ambient lighting. Wood-like laminate flooring with a half-inch cork underlay ensures a quiet & cushioned foundation throughout. At the center of the home is an impressive great room--a rare, fully reimagined open-concept layout not found elsewhere in the building. Design highlights include oversized custom crown molding, a stone-tiled gas fireplace & a chef-caliber kitchen with a massive quartz island, soft-close cabinetry, designer tile backsplash, farmhouse apron sink, a custom-made electric cook top, double oven, microwave drawer & an appliance garage. The adjacent dining area features a built-in buffet & designer chandelier to complete the space. To the right of the entry, the first of two ensuite bedrooms--currently arranged as a media room--features recessed lighting, crown molding, dual closets & wood-louvered shutters. The ensuite bath includes basket-weave tile flooring, a quartz vanity, subway-tiled shower walls & a frameless glass enclosure. Down the hall, the expansive primary suite functions as a peaceful retreat. It includes built-in cabinetry, a designer light fixture & a glass slider opening to a private balcony. The ensuite bath showcases an oversized quartz vanity with a makeup area, a custom-tiled shower/tub combination, recessed lighting & a walk-in closet with built-in shelving. A side-by-side washer & dryer are discreetly tucked behind elegant barn doors along the hallway. Accessed from both the living area & primary suite, a private balcony retreat offers tranquil courtyard views & peek-a-boo views of Orange Grove Blvd, perfectly positioned to enjoy the world-famous Rose Parade route. As part of a well-maintained HOA, residents enjoy exclusive access to a community clubhouse, pool & spa--all within minutes of Old Town Pasadena, the 210 Freeway, fine dining, boutique shopping & cultural landmarks. Additionally, the unit comes with two side-by-side parking spaces in a secured parking garage with built-in storage cabinets at the front of those spaces. This is a rare offering that blends sophistication, comfort & location--a truly one-of-a-kind home for those who value thoughtful design & a luxurious lifestyle.
