Thursday’s Pasadena broker preview tour had 68 homes for sale. My team and I saw about a dozen in Pasadena, Altadena and San Marino. Pickings are still slim and home buyers are waiting for more properties get listed. Summer is around the corner so each week should have more homes available. For now, here are my weekly picks.
Pasadena Condo under $500,000
433 South Madison
Just a few blocks from South Lake District in a garden setting, in a small complex. One bedroom and one bath with a dining room, cute kitchen and two separate balconies perfect for enjoying our gorgeous California weather. Located at the back of the complex on the second floor, there are some pretty steep steps leading up to the unit, but the condo itself is charming as can be. Great floorplan, great location. Definitely worth checking out for anyone interested in prime Pasadena condo at $450,000. If condo is still available for sale, you’ll be able to see info below:
433 South Madison Avenue, Pasadena, CA 91101 (MLS # 214020688)

This sophisticated 1936 Monterey Colonial style one bedroom condo is in one of the most sought-after buildings in the heart of Pasadena. A beautiful stairwell leads to a top floor single level condo. Light-filled living room with original hardwood floors throughout, casement windows and French doors open to a balcony overlooking a garden with lush trees and flowers. A formal dining room, a sweet and bright kitchen with many of the original details, a large bedroom with two spacious closets, and an updated, light-filled bathroom with original tiles complete this quintessential example of 1936 architecture. Casement windows in all rooms have tree top and balcony views. Here is a wonderful opportunity to own a character home that is centrally located on a tree-lined street close to Old Town Pasadena, the South Lake shopping district and CalTech.
