Property Description

Thoughtfully curated, this top-floor end-unit condominium offers a rare blend of vintage character, abundant natural light and meaningful modern improvements in Pasadena's Playhouse Village district. Set within a charming Lionel Mayell created 1949 building, the residence enjoys windows on three sides, creating an airy and inviting atmosphere throughout the day. Original hardwood floors, hand selected custom lighting fixtures and carefully chosen finishes complement a renovated kitchen featuring natural quartzite countertops, designer tile backsplash, butcher block dining counter and Bosch + Whirlpool appliances. The open-plan living and dining area provides comfortable space for both everyday living, entertaining, and even work-from-home options. The spacious bedrooms provide abundant storage and warm light, one of which highlights CW Stockwell Martinique wallpaper, made famous by its use at the Beverly Hills Hotel, and period style Schoolhouse Electric lighting. The recently renovated bathroom reflects a thoughtful balance of period charm and updated design with a curated selection of new tile and a refinished tub. The 2025 addition of a fully permitted in-unit LG washer and dryer adds a level of convenience not commonly found in buildings of this era. Additional improvements include a Mitsubishi mini-split heating and air conditioning system, enhancing year-round comfort. A Juliet balcony overlooks the energy of the neighborhood, while a private exterior entry balcony and additional storage contribute to the home's everyday functionality. Just moments from Lake Avenue, T
