80 Grace Ter APT 2, Pasadena, CA 91105

It is our pleasure to introduce 80 Grace Terrace, one of the most unique apartment buildings in Southern California. Originally built as a family estate in 1891, "Grace Mansion" was designed by renowned architect, Frederick Roehrig (Castle Green Hotel and notable Pasadena homes built during the gilded age). The mansion was converted to apartments in the 1920's when it had become isolated from its own kind by early century development of orchards into homes between Grace Mansion and Orange Grove Boulevard, then known as "Millionaire's Row". The estate's "carriageway" became a street, Grace Terrace, and its grand stairways down the side of Grace Hill are hidden public steps that hilltop residents use to access "The Yoga House" and the historic "Raymond Restaurant". This spacious one-bedroom, one-bath apartment is 1,287 sf, and has its own exterior entrance with an entertainment-sized verandah to take in the fragrance of Wisteria blooming in the surrounding gardens and views of the city with the San Gabriel mountains beyond. The owners of 31 years have spared no expense to bring this 8-unit building on par with the amenities of new luxury apartments on the market while retaining all of its architectural detail, a major upgrade that will maintain its desirability long after the typical new apartment development loses its shine. The entire building has undergone a two year, nearly $1.4M, rehab including an all new plumbing system, sewer lines, comp shingle roof, rain gutters and downspouts, electric sub panels, water heaters, paint inside and out, drip line landscape irrigation, and much, much more. Now taken to a whole new level with new HVAC, in-unit washers and dryers, and high end appliances, these large, character-filled, apartments are more desirable than ever. Features include high ceilings, French doors, hardwood floors, crown molding, ceramic tile bathrooms, French door refrigerators, and gorgeous new 'iLVE' range/ovens shipped from Italy. Featuring parking on site for two cars per unit. Showings by Appointment only.790.9051
