A bright, open Pasadena townhome with a remodeled kitchen and a small private deck out front. EXCLUSIVE BUYER INCENTIVES to combat high interest rates: the SELLER WILL PAY ONE WHOLE YEAR OF HOA DUES, AND pay for an INTEREST RATE BUYDOWN on the buyer's mortgage OR the buyer's closing costs. The main living level is one expansive room for living, dining and kitchen, with a powder room for guests. Upstairs, both vaulted bedrooms are en-suite, and the primary has a walk-in closet. That makes two and a half baths in 1,035 square feet, with a 2-car garage below. A corner brick fireplace anchors the living room, and sliding glass doors open it onto the deck, screened by planters, with room for a table and chairs. In the kitchen, white Shaker cabinets rise to crown molding over pale stone counters and a breakfast bar, and Samsung stainless fills it out, from the five-burner gas range to the French-door refrigerator. Morning light comes in early, and the home stays bright all year. Upstairs, both bedrooms rise to vaulted ceilings and fill with soft natural light through the day. The primary looks out over the palms to the San Gabriel Mountains, and its bath sets a framed panel of hexagon tile into the subway-tiled tub surround. The second bedroom's open closet is wide enough for a desk.Crown Vista is a gated community of townhouses just south of Bungalow Heaven, under tall street trees, with a shared spa and landscaping kept up by the HOA. Lake station on the Metro A Line is 0.61 miles away on foot, Old Pasadena and Vroman's are close by, and Caltech sits straight down Wilson Avenue.
