:: The Bower House, 1933 :: Builder Vincent Savory :: Built during the early and romantic development of Northeast Pasadena's first origins of homeownership after the area was a prominent ranch, 2116 Layton remains a rare, intact staple of the architectural soul of Pasadena. Overlooked by the gorgeous Eaton Canyon foothills, the home sits at the entrance of a unique historic enclave, which is marked by two towering lanterns original to the tract. The Bower House is a celebration of early Pasadena craftsmanship, a romantic fusion of classic Spanish Revival artistry and decades of meticulous restoration and caretaking. The bright living room features original peg-and-groove mahogany floors , hand-hewn ceiling beams, a plaster fireplace, and custom built-ins trimmed with Malibu tile. Original windows bathe the space in light and frame serene mountain views. A generous dining room, crowned by a vintage chandelier, leads to a large, period-correct updated kitchen and second eating / breakfast area, thoughtfully revamped to seamlessly complement the historic characteristics of the property. The space offers an unusual amount of storage behind vintage style cabinetry, Caesarstone counters, mahogany floors throughout the majority of the home, white oak flooring in the kitchen and a vintage O'Keefe & Merritt oven. A thoughtful and convenient separate laundry area finishes the space to be ideal for modern living. A long hallway with built-in desk and period cabinetry showcases addition
