| 285 W. California Blvd. - 03 | 1 bed | 1 bath | 814 sqft | Special 1 Bedroom 1 Bath Apartment - Vintage Spanish Architecture--Not a Cookie-Cutter! SOON READY FOR SHOWING. A personal favorite of ours, apartment #3 is a true 1920’s architectural gem. Living Room: A cathedral wood-and-beam ceiling soars above a newly refinished floor. (The floor’s not just hardwood, it’s mahogany!) Double-arched casement windows face east toward a tile fountain. Built-ins flank the wall opposite the fireplace, and there’s an arched wall niche on the adjacent wall. Dining Room: Step down two steps along a curved wall, and onto the Saltillo tile floor of the dining room. A wrought iron chandelier hangs from a wood-and-beam vaulted ceiling that towers to a height of 15’. Note the special window high on that wall. Outdoor Area Off Dining Room: The dining room’s double sliding French doors open to your own covered “outdoor room,” one side of which looks onto your own uncovered outdoor area. Kitchen: Galley layout with lots of light, farm-style cabinets and a gas range with 5 burners. Saltillo tile on the floor, and decorative tiles on the backsplashes and behind the stove. Bedroom: Mahogany floor under a wood-beam and plaster ceiling. The closet is huge, with its own window (which, due to the architectural grill, you can leave open even at night). There’s also a built-in chest of drawers with a shoe rack in the bottom. Bathroom: Vintage tub with shower above, pedestal sink. Window gives great natural light. Floor is Saltillo tile. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION: On West California Blvd., less than block from South Orange Grove Blvd. in Pasadena. Close to Old Town and the 210, 134 and Pasadena Freeways. Four blocks from Wrigley Mansion. Around the corner from the Valley Hunt Club. On New Year’s Day, you have only to walk less than a block to see Rose Parade floats lined up. Walk a few blocks in the other direction to Starbucks, upscale delis and boutique restaurants. As you explore the neighborhood, cast your gaze upon multi-million-dollar homes. City living doesn’t get much better than this! | ||
| 285 W. California Blvd. - 01 | 1 bed | 1 bath | 792 sqft | One-Bedroom Architectural Gem--Vintage Spanish - It’s not often that the opportunity comes along to live in an architectural gem like the one-bedroom apartment we will have available at Casa California in mid-February. A visitor said, “I had no idea there were apartments like this. This looks like it belongs in Beverly Hills.” Others have felt like they’d been transported to Europe, with the property’s tile roofs, decorative chimneys and tile fountain. Near the corner of South Orange Grove and California Boulevards, the location is both upscale (around the corner from the Valley Hunt Club) and convenient. Enjoy living in a community where you can walk to several Starbucks, Porta Via Deli, restaurants, the post office, banks—even Old Town Pasadena, if you wish. But when the car is needed, there’s also easy access to the 110, 134 and 210 Freeways. Details of the apartment: • Large, covered front terrace with tile floor • Wonderful architectural fireplace (not currently for use) • Mahogany hardwood floors • Wooden casement windows, some with eyebrow arches • Lots of built-ins and storage, including a HUGE walk-in closet • Ground level, with both front and back doors • Exposures on four sides for good cross-ventilation • Air-conditioning • Pet friendly (cats and dogs) • Gas stove • Beautifully landscaped courtyard with fountain • Community feeling where several residents have called Casa California their home for between 17 to 26 years • Laundry facility on premises • Carport parking • Professional on-site manager • Online service requests and rent payment | ||
| 285 W. California Blvd. - 19 | 1 bed | 1 bath | 792 sqft | One-Bedroom Architectural Gem--Vintage Spanish - Unit #19 is a very special one-bedroom apartment that we expect will rent quickly. Imagine working from home in your own outdoor "room," open to the blue sky above—or entertaining there at night with plants and candlelight. This private, atrium-like space floods the living/dining room and kitchen with light. Actually, the living room has light from three exposures; and the kitchen, from two, so you really need to see it to experience how light-filled and wonderful this makes the apartment feel! Not only is the apartment itself wonderful, but so is the complex, which successfully marries vintage 1920s architecture with mid-century modern. It’s in an upscale area, less than a block from South Orange Grove Blvd. On New Year’s morning a brief walk takes you to an up-close look at Rose Parade floats before the rest of the world gets to see them. And it’s just great to live in a walkable community where it’s only a short stroll to Starbucks, Porta Via Deli, restaurants, the post office, etc. There’s also easy access to the 110, 134 and 210 Freeways. More details: • Total square footage: 830 (including 128 ft2 outdoor room) • Central heating and air-conditioning • Luxury faux wood flooring throughout • Crown molding • Fireplace (electric) • Pet friendly (cats and dogs, with deposit) • One assigned carport space (FYI, additional street parking on California Boulevard is no-cost and no permit required.) • Laundry facility on premises • Beautifully landscaped courtyard with fountain • Professional on-site manager • This is a second-floor apartment which is accessed by a private staircase. No one living above or below you. For an appointment to see the unit, call Al at 626_272_3914 | ||
