About this condo
Norman Villa is a unique condominium complex in the English Tudor style constructed in 1929 - a heyday for revival style architecture in Pasadena. 16 townhome units are arranged in row house fashion with 8 units facing each other on either side of a grassy central courtyard. Unit 87 1/2 is an end unit at the rear of the complex, providing additional light, privacy and distance from the street. Situated in Pasadena's Playhouse District, it is very near a multitude of entertainment, dining and retail establishments. With two bedrooms and one bath on the upper floor this home retains tremendous character with oak floors, original doors, windows and other vintage details such as a decorative wrought iron stair rail. The dining area is open to an updated kitchen which includes a dishwasher, stainless fridge, stainless electric stove, custom cabinetry and is adjacent to a service porch with an additional half bath and full-size washer & dryer. The unit includes central heat and forced air conditioning. For an owner occupant this home will transfer with an enclosed garage. HOA fees are low, and the unit has been cared for and updated in a sensitive and practical manner. Though a condo, this home feels like a romantic European pied-a-terre and is a special offering.
