About This Home

As of November 2020

This is a lovely and unique single level, ground floor unit in the desirable Oakland Place Complex. This complex has 6 individual buildings with green space between them and this unit is in the back building which only has 2 units. This charming condominium is more like a single family home and features 3 BR/2 BA, 2 large and private brick patios, hardwood floors, handsome fireplace, custom cabinets and bookshelves throughout. With crown moldings and baseboards, this property has tons of character. The living room is quite spacious and is adjacent to the dining area which is large enough for a full size dining room table. The kitchen was recently remodeled with ample cabinets, quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances. The spacious master suite has 2 large windows, great closet space and is attached to the master bath with spa tub, double sinks and separate shower. There are 2 additional good size bedrooms with built-ins and in-unit laundry. There are two side by side parking spaces in the carport with additional storage. This property is located just north of Madison Heights and is close to Old Town, the Metro Gold Line and the South Lake Shopping District. This is a great opportunity to live in one of Pasadena's most desirable neighborhoods!
