485 Ellis St

Located in a stately early 1900s mansion that used to be surrounded by Orange Groves, this home provides elegance with beautiful windows, lush views and a picturesque porch with restored original wood decking. This is an old mansion that was divided into 2 upstairs units and one downstairs unit. Step inside, there is a central staircase that leads you to suite 3 via a wood banister that leads you to a sweet entry. The central air conditioning provides comfort, the recently hand laid wood floors will be perfect with your furnishings, the newly redone bathroom is spacious, crisp and wonderful with the huge walk in shower and pedestal sink and tiled wall wainscoting. The large bedroom has 2 closets with a small closet and a long mirrored wall closet. The dining area is as if you are in a tree house amongst the top branches overlooking the beautiful garden. It is surrounded with architecturally interesting windows all with lovely green vistas. The kitchen features white Corian counters and full wall back splashes and a recently installed electric stove and oven. The bedroom and living room have white wood shutters! The south facing sun filled apartment has a beautiful front facing porch with original restored wood flooring. The perfect outdoor perch to relax and overlook the grounds. This is a superior location in Pasadena to call home in a treasure of an upstairs one bedroom flat between South Orange Grove and South Grand. This is just one block above the Wrigley Mansion, so Rose Parade floats will be super close to view for the Rose Parade! Owner pays water, trash and gardening.
