Abeautifully restored Queen Anne Victorian in Pasadena, CA, is positively bursting with fascinating stories—both old and new, having been owned not just by a descendent of British royalty, but by what some would consider musical royalty, too.
The dwelling, which dates back to 1899, has been put on the market for $2.8 million by married musicians Mitch Rowland and Sarah Jones, who are best known for their roles in pop sensation Harry Styles‘ band.
Rowland, a talented guitarist who is listed as the co-writer of Styles’ wildly popular song “Watermelon Sugar,” and Jones, a session and touring drummer, met during rehearsals for “Harry Styles: Live on Tour,” and have since welcomed two children together.
But for the past two years, they have also taken on another very significant role: the restoration and care of their five-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom Pasadena abode, which was originally built for George E. Hutchins, who was rumored to have had royal blood somewhere in his lineage.
Today, the home, which is known as The Hutchins House, retains much of the historic charm from its original design—however, it has since found itself a new location, having been moved from its original plot in 1906 to the land on which it now sits.




When Jones, who is from the U.K., and Rowland, who is originally from Ohio, stumbled across the historic property, they were splitting their time between England and the U.S., but were seeking out a safe haven in California, where they’d be able to raise their children.
They purchased the property in November 2023 for $2.3 million and have used it as their primary residence ever since—that is, when they’re not busy hitting the road with Styles and their fellow bandmates.
However, the couple is now ready to pass the dwelling on to a family who will be able to enjoy it more than they can, listing agent Nina Kurtz of Compass reveals, explaining that they’re hoping to find a buyer who will truly relish the history and character of the 3,000-square-foot Victorian.
“They are constantly on to the road, and they feel this home truly deserves to be lived in,” explains Kurtz. “Its history of being a lovely and inviting family home moves forward.”
History abounds throughout the home, which Kurtz describes as having “its own personality,” brought to life by the unique design and meticulously restored interiors.
“This home has so much soul. It has so much history. It was one of those houses designed to stand the test of time,” she says. “The house has its own personality, its own spirit almost.”





Much of that spirit is expressed through its artistic design.
“Every corner is a work of art,” continues Kurtz. “It’s a testament to craftsmanship—from the hand-turned spindles and the moldings, to the wallpaper and the hand-painted walls in so many areas.”
Timeless, original craftsmanship seamlessly blended with modern updates can be found in every room. The fireplace, some of the wood flooring, doors and hardware plus elaborate woodwork have all been carefully restored to their original condition.
The kitchen, with its black-and-white checkered marble floor, also has professional-quality stainless steel Viking appliances; and the adjacent sunny breakfast nook overlooks the well-thought Victorian gardens and gazebo.
An original staircase in the grand entry foyer leads up to four bedrooms with updated baths. Above that is a fully finished attic—ideal for a game room and measuring 1,131 square feet, which are not included in the main square footage calculation. It’s filled with cozy nooks and window seats, adaptable to many uses.
Outside on the .28 acre lot, there’s lush foliage, a flagstone terrace, a period gazebo, and a detached carriage house, which features a finished upper-level studio and a separate office/workroom.





Meanwhile, the location is as desirable as the home itself. Nestled in the verdant Arroyo Terrace Historic District, one of area’s most beautiful and historic pockets, The Hutchins House is just a quick hop from famous landmarks like the Norton Simon Museum and the Greene and Greene Gamble House, and just a little farther to the Rose Bowl and Old Town Pasadena.
“This landmark Queen Anne Victorian, known as The Hutchins House, offers timeless craftsmanship and modern updates in one of Pasadena’s most architecturally significant neighborhoods,” the listing crows.
“Features include a grand foyer with original staircase, formal living and dining rooms with bay windows, an updated chef’s kitchen with Viking appliances, and a bright breakfast room overlooking landscaped gardens.”
What’s more, the property has only had a handful of owners over the years. It was first publicly sold in 1979 for the bargain price of $175,000 and remained off the market for the next 22 years, before being snapped up again in 1995, this time for $505,000.
Those owners retained the property until 2023, when Jones and Rowland took it over.
Although it’s unclear whether the couple plan to purchase another U.S. home base, they appear to have been spending a great deal of time in London in recent months—with Rowland hosting a sold-out show in the city in November.
