Ambassador Gardens on Pasadena Millionaires' Row. This sprawling residence boasts 3,250 sqft. living
space with 3-bedroom en-suites. Upon entering, you are greeted by a double-door formal living room
with a cozy fireplace. This space, formerly displayed a grand piano, features French doors that lead to a
charming patio and the second elevator. The heart of this luxury condo is the open kitchen, dining room
and great room, designed to offer a seamless living experience. The gourmet kitchen features handleless
AR-TRE Italian custom cabinetry with lacquered finish, sleek Miele chef-grade appliances, and an
oversized kitchen island with thick edge Silestone countertop. Large Porcelanosa floor tiles from Spain
add elegance to the entire living space, while the surround sound system in the Great Room creates an
immersive audio experience. Three pairs of French doors invite you to step out onto the grand balcony,

bathtub by Porcelanosa and a custom walk-in closet. The two guest bedroom suites are both generously
sized, each featuring large windows and private bathrooms with upgraded vanities. These rooms
provide comfort and privacy for guests, making them ideal for hosting family and friends. This premium
unit also provides an enclosed four-car garage with additional storage space near the elevator. Situated
at the starting point of the Annual Rose Parade, the Ambassador Gardens residence community offers a
profound living experience and is the most sought-after luxury condo community in Pasadena. The
resort-like amenities include Junior Olympic size heated pool and the nearly century-old grounds with
lavish landscaping with multiple lawns and water features. Walking distance to Ambassador Auditorium, Norton Simon Museum, and shops and
