Description

Designed by famed architect, Roland E. Coate, 1265 Hillcrest Avenue is a splendid example of the white-walled golden age of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture. Located on one of Pasadena's most coveted streets, adjacent to the historic Langham Hotel, and on the market for the first time in 55 years, this remarkable home provides the framework for a warm and gracious way of life. <br /><br />Many features of this home are hallmarks of the Revival mode: a red tile roof, the soft texture of white stucco walls with rounded corners, simple windows covered with wrought-iron grilles, simple doors,  a balcony with a wrought-iron balustrade, and an asymmetrical layout on two levels, with an open plan first floor. On the first floor a central, red-tiled hallway provides access to the living room with hardwood floors, high, beamed ceilings and the formal dining room. These main rooms are framed by a patio and a meditative, yet dramatic loggia graced with wide arches. The private, outdoor living space, within a walled courtyard, also features a wonderful pool and spa accented with native landscaping, citrus trees and a delightful lily pond. 
1265 Hillcrest Ave, Pasadena, CA 91106 is a 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom, 3,324 sqft single-family home in South, built in 1925. It last sold for $3,225,000 on Jun 18, 2018. It is currently off market. The Trulia Estimate is $3,825,300, with a rent estimate of $7,587/month.

    "Even though people are good about picking up their dogs’ poo, not everyone is a responsible dog owner. I rarely ever see any leash-less dogs. However, some people claim their dogs are service dogs when they’re out of control. Most places here do not like big dogs in the complexes. "

    "This is an absolute amazing neighborhood! It is not the type where your neighbors stay inside all day and never come out, or the type who are always nosy. It is perfect! At night there is no parties going on until like 3:00 or anything! It is quiet and nice, in the morning the birds are tweeting and you see people walking their dogs, biking, or just jogging! I totally recommend this neighborhood!"
