East Pasadena Community Offers Much-Needed Housing in Underserved Market
PASADENA, Calif. – May 1, 2014 –Brandywine Homes, a pioneer of infill development in Southern California, announced that all 12 four- and five-bedroom homes at Estates Pasadena have been sold.
“The rate of sales was incredible,” said Dave Barisic, vice president of sales and marketing at Brandywine Homes. “Estates Pasadena offers the only new, detached single-family homes available in all of Pasadena, and residents took note. We saw quite a few foreign buyers as well as cash buyers, and the final home—a model—sold and closed escrow in just three weeks. This was a one-of-a-kind opportunity for people looking to purchase a new home in the historic city of Pasadena.”
The approximately 2,900- to 3,500-square foot homes at Sierra Madre Villa Avenue and East Sierra Madre Boulevard were built in Cape Cod, Hastings English and French Provincial styles and have gourmet kitchens, luxurious master suites, inviting front porches and family-friendly open floor plans with up to five bathrooms. The homes have authentic brick and stone exteriors and fireplaces as well as eco-friendly features including tankless water heaters, low-E glass windows and night setback automatic thermostats. Prices at Estates Pasadena ranged from approximately $1.3 to $1.7 million.
Estates Pasadena is less than a mile from the Foothill & Rosemead Shopping Center that includes Trader Joe’s, 24 Hour Fitness, restaurants and more. With access to excellent Pasadena schools, including Field Elementary, the community is less than 15 minutes from Old Pasadena, Paseo Colorado Shopping Center, Norton Simon Museum, the Santa Anita race track and more.
The new homes were designed in partnership with LCRA, an award-winning architectural firm located in Old Pasadena. TCO designed the landscape, including streetscapes and entry, and Ambrosia Interiors, an award-winning interior merchandising firm, gave the model home its comfortable, luxurious finishing touches.
