Sometimes, losing out on a home leads to something even better. That is exactly what happened to our client.
First, we submitted an offer on a condominium on South Orange Grove. Unfortunately, we competed against multiple offers and did not get the property. However, our client remained patient. Soon after, the perfect opportunity appeared. A highly desirable townhome became available in the prestigious Cravens Court community. Cravens Court had always been one of the few South Orange Grove complexes our client hoped to call home.
Located next to the historic Cravens Mansion, this intimate community showcases timeless Hollywood Regency architecture. A stately motor court framed by manicured boxwood hedges creates an impressive first impression. Inside, double entry doors open to soaring ceilings, elegant finishes, and abundant natural light. The spacious living room centers around a beautiful marble fireplace with custom built-in cabinetry. Meanwhile, the adjoining dining room easily accommodates both intimate dinners and larger gatherings.
French doors lead to an oversized private brick patio surrounded by mature landscaping. As a result, the outdoor space feels like a peaceful retreat. It is perfect for morning coffee, outdoor dining, or relaxing on a quiet evening. The remodeled gourmet kitchen blends beauty with function. Marble counters, custom cabinetry, and stainless-steel appliances create an elegant workspace. In addition, the adjacent breakfast area overlooks the gardens and provides extra counter space for meal preparation.
Finally, the location is exceptional. Residents enjoy easy access to Old Pasadena, South Pasadena, the scenic Arroyo Seco hiking trails, and several Metro stations. We are thrilled that our client will enjoy life on Pasadena’s famed Millionaire’s Row. In the end, missing out on the first home led to an even better one.
