About This Home

Back on the market at no fault of the property; buyer did not perform. This mid-century penthouse offers all of the benefits and none of the headaches of single family residence living, on a spacious single level. Located in the desirable Orange Grove Terrace complex, boasting classic mid-century architectural features including breeze block walls and clean lines, this corner unit is special. With three bedrooms (one a large primary suite), three baths, and 3625 SF of living space, including patio sunroom offering open air tree top and mountain views, THIS is lifestyle. With no shared walls, this uber private, quiet condo enjoys a gated formal entry with custom tile work and midcentury built-in planters. The carved wood front door opens to a generous open concept entry, flowing into a light filled living and dining rooms. A decorative cornered raised travertine fireplace is a highlight - coupled with two sets of with French doors leading into the sunroom, it makes for superlative entertaining. Conveniently, the kitchen and pantry are located adjacent to sunroom and dining room as well. While the east facing public rooms are conducive to hosting, the private spaces of the home are well placed on the west side of the unit. The sunny family room is nicely appointed with built-in bookshelves and a secret storage compartment hidden in the tongue and groove wall paneling. Two bedrooms, both nicely sized with en suite baths (one accessible to the hallway for guest use) are equally desirable as bedrooms or a home office space. The third, primary bedroom is incomparable with its grand proportions, private balcony and enviable layout, including bath with marble countertop double vanity and generous dressing. With a sparkling private community pool, handsome landscaping and two covered parking spaces, one might never feel the need to leave this peaceful home. However, this location in southwest Pasadena offers some of the most beautiful architecture and breathtaking vistas anywhere in southern California. Convenient to Old Town Pasadena, downtown LA and everything beyond, this is a unique opportunity to live in town, with elegance and privacy.
