About this home
Resting in North Pasadena, 1275 N Hill Avenue is a beautifully renovated 1924 Spanish Colonial Revival bungalow that blends timeless character with gorgeous modern updates. Move-in-ready and set back far from the street, this alluring character home welcomes you with picture-perfect curb appeal. Inside, hardwood floors, rich wood detailing, and abundant natural light create an exquisite ambiance that feels warm, elevated, and inviting. A Batchelder fireplace and ornately trimmed doors and casement windows pair seamlessly with a thoughtfully refreshed modern aesthetic. The flowing floor plan connects the light-filled living and dining areas to an exceptionally spacious and beautifully appointed chef's kitchen, complete with a generous island, gorgeous terracotta tile flooring, handsome cabinetry, and a sun-dappled breakfast nook. A dual vanity bath rests nearby. The main level offers two spacious and bright bedrooms sharing a full hallway bathroom, while the versatile upstairs loft can serve as a guest room, home office, studio, or creative retreat. Outside, the private and expansive backyard is designed for both relaxation and entertaining, featuring mature landscaping, a pergola-covered seating area whimsically draped in climbing vines, multiple patio spaces, and a detached two-car garage. Ideally situated just moments from neighborhood favorites including Woon Pasadena, Millie's Cafe, Lavender & Honey Espresso Bar, and the shops and restaurants along Washington Boulevard, at 1275 N Hill Avenue you'll treasure the perfect balance of historic character, modern elegance, and one of Pasadena's most treasured communities.
Bungalow Heaven, located between N Lake Ave and N Allen Ave, is a historic and residential Pasadena neighborhood with Craftsman bungalows and leafy, gridded streets. The character concentrates around the Lake Ave corridor near E Washington Blvd, where coffee counters, small eateries, and storefronts set a steady daytime rhythm. Architectural details—deep porches, tapered columns, and mature street trees—shape a calm, walkable feel. Bungalow Heaven Landmark District signage and periodic home-and-garden events underline the area’s preservation-minded culture. For local pillars, Vroman’s Bookstore, the Pasadena Playhouse, and the Norton Simon Museum anchor nearby arts-and-letters outings. Parks and trailheads in adjacent Pasadena round out the week with open-air breaks.
