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), that leads to this top floor one bedroom corner unit. With commanding views to the south and east, the homes 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. There is an additional storage space and a large laundry area in the basement. The Barcelona is a Mill's Act building, and its location is convenient to local shopping, theaters, and the Metro Gold Line. A unique and romantic unit ready for its next steward.
