Description
One of the Best Values in Pasadena for a Townhouse-Style Condominium! Rarely available at this price point, this home offers low HOA dues in a market where many Pasadena communities charge $400–$500+ per month, making it an excellent opportunity for both first-time homebuyers and investors. The property also includes 2 covered parking spaces, a highly sought-after feature that adds convenience and long-term value. (HOA has recently replaced the NEW roof and completed fumigation. THAT'S WONDERFUL!) This CORNER UNIT townhome has it all: 2 covered parking spots, an updated interior, plenty of outdoor space and a fantastic location! The first level includes an open living/dining room with bamboo floors and a decorative fireplace. Since the apartment is on the end, the extra wall of windows fills the space with natural light any time of day. The updated kitchen features granite countertops, stainless appliances and versatile breakfast nook/laundry area. Upstairs, you’ll find the 2 bedrooms (primary has double entry doors & vaulted ceilings.) The cleverly-designed hallway bathroom includes a separate toilet/tub room. On the exterior, this unit has a large communal space by the front door and the property also includes a nice patio where residents can BBQ and dine alfresco. Apt 8 also comes with keyless entry and a smart thermostat. This gated complex is pet friendly, and residents enjoy access to 2 parking spots as well as a secure storage area. Low HOA dues help keep monthly ownership costs affordable, making this property even more attractive for owner-occupants and rental investors alike. Nestled on a quiet, tree-lined street, this Tudor-style property is located just a few blocks from the 210 Fwy and the Metro station. You’ll also be close to parks, schools and all the shopping in Old Town Pasadena & along historic Rt 66.
