About This Home

As of June 2024

One of the best locations in all of Pasadena. This Caltech area two bedroom, three bath condominium is a block from the many shops and restaurants on beautiful Lake Avenue as well as close to Old Town Pasadena. The turn-key unit is elegantly remodeled with cork style floors, granite counters and beautifully renovated bathrooms. This residence is ready for the most discerning buyer. The light-filled and well laid out home features two large en-suite bedrooms, a chef's kitchen with breakfast bar, a cozy fireplace, in unit laundry, side by side parking spaces, and so much more. There are tall sliding glass doors that open out to a gracious balcony that is perfect for relaxing or simply reading the morning paper. The security gated building was built in 1987 and is part of a very desirable neighborhood. Must see it to appreciate it all!
