1265 N Holliston Avenue, Pasadena, CA 91104

Coming to market for the first time in 38 years, this 1927 Spanish Colonial Revival in Pasadena's landmark Bungalow Heaven is a rare and special find. Warm-toned stucco exterior walls, a terracotta barrel tile roof with asymmetric roofline, arched passageways, decorative niches, and hand-troweled plaster interior walls: the hallmarks of the Spanish Revival style are all present and accounted for in this stunning Pasadena home. A generous grassy front yard gives way to a Saltillo tile walkway that draws guests through a gated front garden and patio to a covered porch entry. Inside, handsome hardwood floors, arched passageways, creamy plaster walls, and natural light set the tone. The living room is the centerpiece of the home. With soaring 13-foot tongue-and-groove vaulted ceilings with exposed timber beams, a traditional arched fireplace, wrought iron and brass wall sconces, wood casement windows, and French doors that dissolve the boundary between indoor space and the leafy front garden. The generous dining room is cozy and light-filled and the galley kitchen beyond features tiled countertops, tiled floors, and a breakfast nook perfect for morning coffee. A ground floor bedroom with an ensuite full bath and French doors to the back patio is endlessly versatile as a guest suite, home office, or sitting room. Upstairs, a light-filled landing opens to a large second bedroom, a full bath with classic black and white tile floors, and the primary suite. A serene and private retreat, the primary bedroom boasts French doors opening onto a private balcony overlooking the front garden. It is a peaceful perch ideal for morning coffee, quiet evenings, or an unhurried start to the day. Outside, the covered back patio is an entertainer's dream. With Saltillo tile floors and an outdoor kitchen adorned with hand-painted Talavera tile detailing, it is made for summer parties, outdoor dinners, and warm nights with good company. Off the back patio, a stone pathway winds past a sculptural fountain through birds of paradise, roses, kumquat, camellia, and drought-tolerant native plants, leading to a two-car garage with plenty of space for tools, a workstation, or storage. Tucked away, a 237 SF back office and studio awaits. Nestled in Bungalow Heaven and just blocks from Millie's Cafe and Lavender and Honey, 1265 N Holliston Ave. is an opportunity to live with exceptional architecture, in exceptional comfort, in one of Pasadena's most beloved neighborhoods.
