About This Home
A masterful renovation by Nott & Associates has completely transformed this character-rich 1924 Spanish Revival cottage into a home that feels authentic, refined, and deeply inviting. Vibrant Spanish tile, custom built-ins, exposed beam ceilings, and beautifully curated materials all celebrate the original architecture while infusing a fresh, modern aesthetic. Filled with natural light, an unmistakable warmth and cheerful energy are felt the moment you enter. The open living, dining, and kitchen spaces are designed for comfortable everyday living and joyful entertaining. French doors open to the covered front porch, welcoming fresh air and extending the living space outdoors. The expansive kitchen is a standout with gorgeous countertops, a striking tile backsplash, farmhouse sink, breakfast bar, and premium stainless steel appliances. Nearby, a pantry and a dedicated laundry room with utility sink offer added convenience. Privately positioned at the rear of the home, the primary suite opens directly to the backyard and features a beautifully designed ensuite bath with dual vanities and a spacious walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms share a full hallway bathroom and offer flexibility for guests or a home office. The unfinished backyard is private and full of possibilities, providing an open canvas for the next owner to create a peaceful retreat tailored to their own vision. Located on a charming, tree-lined street just blocks from Mission Street, you'll love having local cafes, restaurants, boutique shopping, parks, and the city's award-winning schools all nearby. At 657 Forest Ave, experience a home that celebrates timeless craftsmanship, modern comfort, and the unmistakable charm of South Pasadena living.
