Property Description

Rich in history and timeless charm, this 1923 storybook cottage offers a rare opportunity to own a meaningful piece of South Pasadena's architectural legacy. Commissioned by Lucinda H. Williams, a prominent socialite and philanthropist who shaped the legacy of the nearby Oaklawn estate, this home was originally built as the caretaker's residence and remains a treasured link to the area's storied past. Set within a thoughtfully planned early 20th-century neighborhood known for its wide, tree-lined streets and grand design, the property reflects the vision of a 'Suburb de Luxe' inspired by the renowned architects Greene and Greene. Behind a gated front yard with wrought-iron fencing, the home welcomes you through a distinctive rounded entry door into a warm and inviting living room. Original hardwood floors, crown molding, and a classic brick fireplace with mantel are complemented by charming rounded windows that echo the home's architectural character. The living room flows into a spacious kitchen area featuring tile flooring, recessed lighting, crown molding, and abundant cabinetry. Tile countertops, a gas range, stainless steel refrigerator and dishwasher, and a convenient stackable washer and dryer provide everyday functionality while maintaining the home's vintage appeal. On the left and toward the back of the home are two comfortable bedrooms separated by a full bathroom. One bedroom features carpeted flooring with nearby closet space, while the second offers crown molding, a generously sized closet, and classic casement windows. The bathroom retains its historic charm with a pedestal sink, separate tub and shower, and decorative leaded glass windows. Outdoor spaces offer both privacy and flexibility, with a gated front yard, a backyard patio, and mature citrus trees. Brick steps lead to a detached one-car garage, complete with drywall, a ceiling fan, and a built-in loft for additional storage. Central air and heating add modern comfort. Located just moments from South Pasadena's shops, dining, and local amenities, this special home blends architectural heritage, character, and everyday livability in one of the area's most beloved neighborhoods.
