Pasadena Bungalow

1261 N Raymond Ave, Pasadena, CA 91103

A thoughtfully landscaped front yard with succulents and fruit trees introduces this Pasadena bungalow, blending timeless character with modern comfort.

The welcoming covered porch opens to a spacious living room anchored by a fireplace and filled with natural light from large windows. Oversized pocket doors lead to the formal dining room with built-in cabinetry, creating a warm and inviting setting. From there, an arched opening and peninsula connect seamlessly to the expansive kitchen, equipped with stainless steel appliances, a window overlooking the outdoors, and direct access to the backyard.

Just beyond the kitchen, a ¾ bath with dual sinks and a separate water closet with shower opens to a large laundry room, combining function and convenience. A connecting hallway, accessible from both the kitchen and the living room, leads to a bedroom, the staircase to the second floor—illuminated by a large window—and access to the basement, currently staged as a media and creative studio with space for music, streaming, or recreation.

Upstairs, four bedrooms provide comfort and versatility. The spacious primary bedroom anchors this level, while the additional bedrooms offer flexibility for family, guests, or a home office. A walk-in hallway closet and a bath complete the upper floor.

Outdoor living features an expansive fully covered paved backyard, thoughtfully designed as an all-weather retreat with generous room for lounging, dining, and play. A finished detached garage adds further versatility, ideal as a studio, workshop, or gym.

Additional highlights include solar panels for energy efficiency and a whole-house water softener, enhancing both sustainability and comfort.

Positioned minutes from the Rose Bowl, Brookside Park, Old Town Pasadena, Lake Avenue shopping and dining, and cultural landmarks, this residence captures both the charm of Pasadena’s architectural heritage and the convenience of modern living.
