Welcome to 1018 Magnolia Drive, where thoughtful design, natural light, and South Pasadena living come together effortlessly. Perched on the top floor of a charming 10-unit building, this tastefully renovated and south facing residence overlooks a quiet, tree-lined street and sits adjacent to a lush and all-organic South Pasadena Community Garden and pocket park. Inside, a well-designed floor-plan unfolds, featuring two bedrooms and two full baths, including a tranquil primary en-suite and Elfa closet systems. The kitchen has been reimagined with KraftMaid cabinetry, quartz countertops, a Kohler cast iron sink, and classic white subway tile. Thoughtful upgrades continue throughout, from engineered white oak hardwood floors, Mission Tile West tiles, to a tankless water heater and newer Carrier HVAC system including built-in microwave, garbage disposal, stainless steel fridge and dishwasher. A charming balcony just off the kitchen offers the perfect spot for morning coffee or an evening unwind. Additional highlights include in-unit laundry, Nest thermostat and covered, gated carport with two assigned side-by-side parking spaces and guest parking. Light-filled, well-appointed, and wonderfully connected to the best of the neighborhood. Just moments from the Gold Line, the beloved Mission District, the vibrant Thursday Farmers Market and Sid The Cat Auditorium. Located within the award-winning South Pasadena school district- a superb opportunity awaits!
