1450 N Michigan Avenue, Pasadena, CA 91104
Built in 1924, this single-story Spanish Colonial home is situated next to the historic 1885 Dane House and fronts the Landmark District's most coveted street in the Historic Highlands, a neighborhood defined by majestic oak-lined avenues and architecturally significant properties. This beautiful home reflects the enduring craftsmanship of the era with an arched entry, graceful Palladian windows, high ceilings, and hardwood floors throughout. Original vintage lighting, doors, and hardware have all been thoughtfully restored and preserved. At the heart of the home, a Batchelder tile fireplace of exceptional provenance features a rare triptych depicting the story of westward migration to California, an extraordinary piece of California design history. The thoughtful floor plan offers four spacious bedrooms, one currently used as a home office, and two bathrooms along with a dedicated laundry room. The living spaces are filled with natural light and the kitchen is both generous and bright, with French doors that open to a charming side patio. The primary bedroom features a wall of windows that open to a tranquil side garden, where a Spanish fountain creates a peaceful, intimate retreat. The expansive gardens are a living piece of California agricultural heritage, home to 100 year old orange and grapefruit trees, living remnants of the original Dane Family Ranch. The property offers ample space for a pool or ADU. The home has been thoughtfully updated with a new tankless water heater, an updated electrical panel, and a 220V EV charging outlet -- ready for the next century as confidently as it honors the last.
