Colonial Soul Meets Modern Living in Bungalow Heaven. Nestled in the heart of Pasadena’s iconic Bungalow Heaven Landmark District, 863 N Hill Ave is a masterful blend of 1920s charm and thoughtful modern upgrades. This 4-bedroom, 3-bath architectural treasure offers light-filled living, designer updates, and the kind of backyard dreams are made of. From the moment you step onto the storybook front porch, you’re wrapped in its classic Colonial Revival character–crown moldings, redone hardwood floors, a Batchelder fireplace, and character built-ins that have stood the test of time. The formal dining room flows effortlessly into a side patio, ideal for morning coffee or evening libations. A bright, spacious kitchen with an eat-in breakfast nook sits at the center of the home, with access to a discrete large laundry area down the hallway for practical everyday living. The front bedroom connects to a powder room and full bath, perfect for guests or a home office. Two more bedrooms feature walk-in closets, built-ins, and architectural detail throughout. At the back of the home, the expanded primary suite is a true retreat–cathedral ceilings, a walk-in closet, and a spacious spa-like bath overlook a lush, private backyard. Outdoors, enjoy a fully landscaped, entertainer’s dream yard with mature shade trees, a log cabin playhouse, and fruit trees. There’s an outdoor pergola for twilight BBQ’s and respite, and an additional covered sitting area with a ceiling fan for dining Al Fresco or farm to table gatherings. The garden beds are stocked with herbs too. Behind the private automated driveway gate, there’s a redwood fence and privacy hedge leading through the freshly poured cement driveway to the 2-car detached garage- offering ADU potential in its own right (with new plumbing going to it). This totally smart home integrates smart devices like thermostats, lighting, water, and security systems into a network, allowing for centralized control in your mobile app. The home is also equipped with solar panels and a tankless water heater. There’s hardwood flooring throughout the home that has been meticulously sanded and stained, blending historic charm with refreshed style, and there’s even a central vacuum system to keep them tidy. An attic fan has been installed along with a finished basement currently used as a wine cellar.Minutes from MIllie’s Cafe, Lavender and Honey, Stater Bros, Starbucks, Pilates/Gym, neighborhood wine bar and close to all major freeways
