    What's special

    Situated in Pasadena's Playhouse Village, this penthouse residence in the Mid-Century 'Odyssey' building offers a rare combination of privacy and panoramic views, occupying its own level with a dedicated elevator landing. Double doors open to a welcoming foyer that flows into an expansive great room, where the living and dining areas connect seamlessly--well-suited for both everyday living and entertaining. Large sliding glass doors extend the space to an oversized rooftop terrace, creating a natural indoor-outdoor transition. Just off the main living area, a versatile den functions comfortably as a home office or lounge, also opens to the terrace for a perfect flow. The adjacent kitchen provides generous storage and a breakfast area with built-in banquette. The first bedroom sits near the front of the unit, to the left of the foyer alongside a three-quarter bath; a thoughtfully placed hallway door allows for an easy conversion to an ensuite configuration. The second bedroom suite is filled with natural light, offering mountain views and an updated three-quarter bath. A hallway leads to the primary suite complete with a walk-in closet and a well-appointed bath featuring dual vanities and a large shower. Sliding doors open to a screened balcony shared with the first bedroom suite. Additional features include in-unit laundry, two side-by-side subterranean parking spaces, and two private storage units. Community amenities include a pool and patio with barbecue facilities. HOA dues cover water (hot and cold), trash, electricity, fire and earthquake insurance and exterior maintenance. Located just moments from South Lake, Caltech and Madison Heights, this residence presents a compelling opportunity for refined urban living in one of Pasadena's most vibrant neighborhoods for the new owner to enjoy for years to come!!!
