Thursday evening in South Pasadena belongs to the farmers market, blocks of vendors under old trees beside the Metro A Line platform at Mission and Meridian. This home sits a short walk from it, in a timeless 1910 duplex set behind a front porch. Unit A, the main-floor unit, is a two-bed and one-bath apartment. The kitchen is the room people remember: cream and butter-yellow cabinets with black iron hardware, glass-front uppers, tile counters edged in black, and a checkerboard floor. A casement window opens over the sink. It runs through to a dining room with parquet floors, a chandelier, and a built-in china cabinet behind glass. The living room has a wide window to the street and a step up into a bright corner sun room windowed on two sides. Both bedrooms have hardwood floors. The larger has a bay window with a seat built into it and a walk-in closet; the second has a ceiling fan and looks into the treetops. A bonus office room makes a versatile space in the home. The bathroom is finished in white subway tile to the ceiling, with a penny-tile floor, pedestal sink, and walk-in shower. Out back, a patio screened in lattice, where the laundry hookups go. Fremont Avenue runs under a canopy of street trees here, a few blocks from Mission Street, where the Fair Oaks Pharmacy has kept its soda fountain since 1915, and the Meridian Iron Works building has stood since the town was a stop on the Santa Fe line. Garfield Park lies east on Mission with gazebos, tennis courts, and summer Sunday concerts. The Arroyo Seco opens to the west, where the trail runs under the Colorado Street Bridge. Nicole’s Market and Cafe, Gus’s BBQ and Fiore Market Cafe are all in the district. South Pasadena Unified serves the city; tenant to verify school assignment. The A Line runs south toward Union Station and north into Pasadena, and the 110 is close for anything further out. Most of what you need is on foot: the market on Thursday, dinner on Mission, the park on Sunday. Come home, set the bags down on the tile counter, and let the evening in through the kitchen window. Water, sewer, and trash are included, and the landlord maintains the front yard. Tenant pays for electricity and gas. Gas is on shared meters, billed as a proportional share by unit size and occupancy until separate meters are installed. This unit is offered without on-site parking or backyard access. Street parking only. Open to 12-month and 16-month lease terms.
