Extremely rare 3 bedroom, 2 bath condo with straight on views of Garfield Park from the second story of 1720 Mission Street. This large condo space offers engineered hardwood floors and windows on 2 sides. It is a corner unit which sticks out onto Mission Street to allow views up and down the 4th of July parade route as well. The kitchen space has been professionally remodeled and features an open floor plan. Add in the huge closets in the primary bedroom, the 2 secure gated underground parking spaces, ridiculously close proximity to the center of South Pasadena (walk to Starbucks, Habit Burger, Chipotle, Fair Oaks Pharmacy, Gus’s BBQ and dozens of other shops and restaurants) and you’ve got a dream living situation.
Additionally the building has undergone extensive and comprehensive remodeling and refurbishment in the recent past. Just a few examples – all of the common spaces had the interiors remodeled including brand new mailboxes for residents. The entire building exterior was updated and all the windows and sliding glass doors have been replaced with top-of-the-line Milgard dual pane windows. At the same time all of the balconies on the upper two floors were reinforced.
The unit itself is spectacular and large – however the location is truly superb. This is absolutely the most walkable condo in South Pasadena. This condo is just ½ mile to Marengo Elementary School and South Pasadena Middle School and just ¾ mile to the High School. Imagine walking your kids to school everyday!
