A rare offering at Whispering Waters, one of Pasadena's most iconic Mid-Century Modern landmarks designed by noted developer Lionel V. Mayell in 1960. Set in a prime South Lake location within walking distance to shops, dining, Caltech, the Playhouse District, and PCC, this pristine third-floor 2BD/2BA residence is available for the first time since 2002. Lovingly maintained and rich with original character, the home pairs timeless design with thoughtful updates. Expansive floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors fill the space with natural light and capture sweeping mountain and city views. The well-designed layout offers generous storage and a spacious primary bedroom closet. A remodeled galley kitchen features granite countertops, tile flooring, high-end appliances, and a pocket door for flexible separation. Both bathrooms are beautifully preserved in classic Regency Grey and Coraline tones, featuring original marble counters with Pullman sinks and generous showers. A large north-facing balcony, accessible from both the living room and primary bedroom, provides a serene setting for outdoor dining and relaxation. Additional updates include a new electrical subpanel and recessed LED lighting throughout. HOA dues include water, hot water, trash, and earthquake insurance, and the home benefits from a Mills Act contract offering potential annual property tax savings of up to 60%.
