998 Bella Vista Avenue

Tucked along a quaint Pasadena street shaded by mature oaks, this 1926 Spanish-style home is a blend of timeless charm and modern comfort. From the moment you arrive, you're greeted by a unique ridge-crested façade and the original front door—complete with its cross-hatched door viewer, vintage handle, and lock—a true nod to the craftsmanship of another era. The front patio and sitting area are surrounded by drought-tolerant native landscaping, drawing butterflies and birds alike. Inside, a sweeping open-concept layout connects the living room, dining space, and sun-drenched kitchen, anchored by a generous island. The kitchen provides direct access to the laundry area and a spacious walk-in pantry—ideal for everyday ease. The home's three bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged along the north side for added privacy. The first features a charming original slanted closet; the second, with its plush carpet and oversized closet, is perfectly suited for kids or guests. The nearby guest bath is a visual treat, with Spanish mosaic cement tiles and luxe silver and gold Kohler fixtures. At the end of the hall, the expansive primary suite offers space to breathe: a cozy nook for a desk or lounge area, a large closet, and room enough for a California king and accompanying dressers. The ensuite bath is a standout—Ukrainian tiles in striking greens and steel tones wrap around a glass-enclosed shower. Outside, the long driveway accommodates five cars with ease—not counting the two-car garage equipped with an EV charger and motorized gate. In back, custom-poured pavers lead to an entertainer’s patio beside a grassy lawn, ringed by new fencing and more native plants. It’s an ideal setting for both play and quiet reflection. Just minutes from the vibrancy of modern Pasadena, this home invites you to slow down and savor the elegance of a bygone era—with all the comforts of today.
