A Bungalow Heaven Treasure
1924 Spanish Revival Charm Meets Modern Updates in Storied Historic District
1275 N Hill Ave, Pasadena, CA 91104
The home's symmetrical facade is a study in early Spanish Revival artistry: a subtle stepped parapet roofline, Seville-style awnings over casement windows, and decorative turned-wood attic vents. A generous front porch with original brickwork and a classic curved portico — supported by rounded columns and ornamental corbels — offers a romantic welcome at the front door.
Step inside and time slows down. Hardwood floors, Mission-style trim and mouldings, and coved ceilings set a rich, soulful tone, while the living room steals the show with a decorative Batchelder fireplace flanked by opposing bas-relief peacock tiles, a handsome wood mantle, and built-in bookshelves. The home flows beautifully from there: a formal dining room, an adjacent sunroom behind French doors, and a kitchen gracefully linked through a shouldered archway above a charming built-in buffet.
