Condition Rating
Fair

While the bathrooms have been beautifully and recently renovated with modern finishes and skylights, and the living areas feature updated dark flooring and recessed lighting, the kitchen is significantly outdated. It features blue tiled countertops and older appliances, requiring a full renovation to meet current standards. Additionally, the property, built in 1973, lacks central air conditioning, which is a notable comfort deficiency for its location. The mix of excellent updates in some areas and major outdated components in others, particularly the kitchen and cooling system, places it in the 'fair' category, indicating it requires substantial updates in key areas despite being well-maintained in others.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Premier Pasadena Location: Situated in the highly desirable Madison Heights neighborhood, offering unparalleled access to Old Town Pasadena, Lake Avenue shopping, dining, cultural attractions like the Huntington Library, and major freeways (110, 210, 134).
Breathtaking Mountain Views: Enjoy spectacular, unobstructed views of the San Gabriel Mountains from the unit and its large private balcony, providing a serene and picturesque backdrop.
Modern & Updated Interiors: Features recently renovated bathrooms with high-end finishes (subway tile, dual sinks), an open floor plan, double-pane windows for energy efficiency and quiet, and bright interiors enhanced by skylights.
Desirable Condo Conveniences: Includes the rare and highly sought-after amenity of an in-unit, HOA-approved washer and dryer, along with two dedicated tandem parking spaces in a private garage.
Enhanced Building Amenities: The building offers a newly renovated common entry, a recreation room, and a small gym, providing residents with additional lifestyle benefits and spaces for entertaining.

Cons

High Monthly HOA Dues: The $500 monthly association fee is a substantial ongoing cost that can impact affordability and overall ownership expenses.
Building Age: Constructed in 1973, the building is over 50 years old, which may lead to higher maintenance costs or potential for future special assessments for major system upgrades, despite recent common area renovations.
Lack of Central Air Conditioning: The description highlights energy-efficient windows and north light but makes no mention of a cooling system, which could be a significant comfort issue during Pasadena's warmer months.
