Property Description

Mid-century architecture, a rare three-bedroom floor plan, and one of South Pasadena's most sought-after locations! Set within a classic mid-century garden-style community on tree-lined Spruce Street, this rare three-bedroom residence combines architectural character, modern updates, and an exceptional walkable lifestyle. Fully updated corner unit offers spacious living areas, hardwood floors, recessed lighting, central air conditioning, and abundant natural light from exposures on three sides. Surrounded by mature landscaping, vintage breeze block details, open-air walkways, and a lo-fi community pool, the building captures the clean-lined design and indoor-outdoor lifestyle that define Southern California's mid-century era. The open kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a gas range, breakfast bar, and seamless connection to the dining and living spaces. One of the home's standout features is the expansive ground-floor patio, a true extension of the living space that offers room to dine, gather, garden, or simply enjoy Southern California's year-round weather. The generously sized primary suite includes three large closets, beautiful natural light, and an en-suite bath with a dedicated vanity and dressing area. Two additional bedrooms provide exceptional flexibility for work-from-home needs, or additional living space. A second updated bath features a spacious walk-in shower. Additional highlights include full size washer & dryer in unit, all-new windows and doors, built-in storage, two gated side-by-side parking spaces, and a private storage room. Nestled on a picturesque residential street lined with historic homes, the residence enjoys easy access to South Pasadena's beloved shops, cafes, Library Park, local playgrounds, and the recently expanded Trader Joe's. The Huntington Library and Gardens, Old Pasadena, and Downtown Los Angeles are all just minutes away. South Pasadena's highly regarded public schools are also nearby, adding to the appeal of this exceptional location. Rarely does a move-in-ready three-bedroom home become available in such a desirable setting combining timeless mid-century architecture, generous living space, and an exceptional walkable lifestyle.
