Own a piece of history. The Barcelona. This 1922 Pasadena legend is perfect for the discriminating buyer looking to live in the Pasadena Playhouse Historic District. Through the original lobby and past the front desk, one finds the original elevator, (although newly updated mechanically and refinished) that leads to this third floor one bedroom unit. With commanding views to the south and east, the home feels light and bright throughout the day. In addition to the corner living room, character kitchen, full bath, and large bedroom with ample closet, there is a separate small office area just off the main room. The Barcelona is a Mill's Act building, and its location is convenient to local shopping, theaters, and the Metro Line. As a bonus, gas, water, electrical, trash, and maintenance are all covered by the HOA. A unique and romantic unit ready for its next steward.
