Nestled in the heart of Pasadena, this stunning 2-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom corner unit townhouse offers the ideal blend of modern comfort and urban convenience. Gorgeous, rich dark wood floors throughout blend well with bright natural light and modern finishes. The kitchen is equipped with Carrara marble countertops, ample cabinet space, and high-end appliances only found in luxury homes like a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Miele dishwasher, and Gaggenau cooktop, and opens up to a dining room and living room, both with balconies and sliding glass doors, allowing the natural light to pour in. Upstairs, the generously sized primary suite includes a private balcony, closet, and an en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom is equally inviting, complete with its own balcony and own en-suite bath. Primely located in rear of the building away from the street, this corner unit has the most privacy and features an attached 2 car garage with laundry. Located just minutes from Old Town Pasadena, the Rose Bowl, Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, shopping, dining, and entertainment, as well as Metro Rail stops, this home is a rare find in a highly desirable neighborhood.
