Tucked beneath the canopy of a magnificent 100+ year-old Engelmann Oak, 725 W Hillcrest known as the J.F. Pitt Home is a rare and romantic Spanish Colonial Revival designed in 1927 by renowned architect William Brandt, whose decade of residential study in Mexico profoundly shaped this early and iconic work. Designated a Historic Landmark and Mills Act–approved for substantial property tax savings, the home beautifully romanticizes California’s historic ties to Spain and Mexico. Grand curb appeal sets the tone, leading to an enclosed entryway and a richly detailed interior featuring an open-beam living room with original Spanish blue trim, extensive magnesite flooring, and a cozy fireplace. Vintage tile—original to the home—graces both upstairs bathrooms, while original iron hardware and a dramatic second-floor cantilever further reflect the home’s authentic architectural character.

Lush landscaping frames a romantic patio ideal for quiet mornings or intimate gatherings.
