395 S Marengo Ave UNIT 213, Pasadena, CA 91101

The Evanston Inn first opened its doors in 1897 as one of Pasadena's first hotels, and brought back to life in 2017 as Evanston Court, a 24-unit residential community with new structural, mechanical, plumbing and electrical systems. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the skillful preservation was also recognized in 2018 with a Pasadena Historic Preservation Award. These incredible restoration efforts are translated into significant property tax savings for today's historic unit owners because of its coveted Mills Act status. Unit 213 is a top floor end-unit and begins with a charming front porch entrance exclusive to only two units, flanked by two 100+ year old palm trees. A flight of stairs bring you through the unit's front door where you are immediately greeted with an wall of impressive oversized original windows providing generous amounts of natural light, city views and amazing sunsets.
