Description
Affectionately known as the 'Columbia House', this gracious and stately residence was built in 1910 by the architect George Lawrence Stimson and sits on the juncture of Columbia Street and Fremont Avenue in the Stimson District neighborhood of South Pasadena, known for its quiet, treelined streets and historic homes. Built in 1910, this glorious two-story American Craftsman-style home spans 4,919 sq. ft. and harkens back another age with its double French doors, built-in shelves and cupboards, exposed wood beams and shaded wrap-around front porch. As one of the most recent homes purchased from Caltrans by the City of South Pasadena, its history has been preserved for many years and is ready for its next owner. Sitting back from Columbia Street, this roomy cedar-shingled home features polished hardwood floors and three fireplaces in its elegant living, dining, and family rooms. From the den you can access the outdoor patio and kitchen with two butler pantries and there is a convenient half bath. Classic Victorian touches can be found throughout this magnificent home with double French doors, wall sconces, and artistic windows that let in natural light. Front and back staircases take you to the second floor with six bedrooms connected by three baths, two which feature clawfoot tubs and one with a tub/shower combo. There's also a fully-enclosed porch, perfect for an office or rec room. The driveway off Fremont Ave. leads to a one-car garage and ample space for parking, and a large yard with mature trees. The rear entryway opens to a 'mud room' with hook ups for a washer and dryer. From there, you can access the stairway to a spacious cellar with room for a workshop, food storage, tools, hobbies and more. This location is just minutes away from Mission Street's shops, cafes, parks, and restaurants. You'll find the best schools in South Pasadena with its friendly, small-town feel. This home is a part of that history and continues to shine with its treasured turn-of-the-century charm.
