A Premium location in the beautiful South Grand Avenue neighborhood, one short block off the Rose Parade route, and only a 1/2 mile to Old Town Pasadena, this 2nd floor Condo has the old world charm of its 1936 French Normandy style building with updated kitchen and bath, while still yearning for a little care by a new owner. The grand living room with decorative fireplace, crown molding and hardwood floors, has a full wall of glass, double doors opening to a long canopied balcony, bringing the outside in and adding light and spaciousness to an already large room. An archway leads to the formal dining room (or work-from-home-space?) with tall windows providing views to the majestic San Gabriel Mountains. The updated kitchen includes granite countertops, stainless dishwasher, double basin sink, full size side-by-side clothes washer/dryer, generous cabinetry space and multiple window views to the mountains and treetops. The updated bathroom has a historic feel to its retiled surfaces and period style pedestal sink, and includes both a large tiled stall shower and full size separate tub. The Bedroom is tucked away facing the peaceful lush courtyard, is generous in size, and opens directly to the canopied balcony. Generous storage in the hallway provides for plenty of clothing, shoes and living items. The complex features a gracious pool for swim, a spa, large community room and BBQ/Dining court, plus 1 additional dedicated storage closet. There are also 2 side-by-side assigned parking spaces in the secured, underground parking garage. The location is stellar, with proximity to the Rose Bowl, Arroyo Seco hiking, grocery stores and all the energy and features of Old Town, while still being tucked away on a quiet street. With a luxurious, charming and spacious feeling, this unit is ready for a refresh and is a great opportunity to live the convenient, modern Pasadena lifestyle in a premium location!
