About 1200 Morada Place
A beautifully restored and thoughtfully updated Spanish Colonial Revival, 1200 Morada Place blends timeless architectural character with elegant modern updates. The home was built in 1926 by esteemed architect John Danley Atchison who built several homes in Pasadena, Altadena and Beverly Hills. From the moment you arrive, the fantastic curb appeal makes an impression--an inviting entry framed by classic saltillo pavers sets the tone for what lies beyond.
