About This Home
As of October 2023Opportunity awaits the discerning buyer looking for an expansive lot and an architecturally significant home in Pasadena. This 1903 Vernacular Hipped Cottage was designed by one of Pasadena’s most noted early architects, Charles W. Buchanan, and built for August and Barbara Nottmeyer. The architecture personifies the shift at the turn of the last century away from Victorian style to the growing popularity of the Arts and Crafts movement. This lovely home offers 1,983 SF of living space and is perched on an expansive 16,076 SF flat-rectangular-lot. The dwelling contains 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a California basement. The sprawling lot is approximately 74 feet wide and 217 feet deep, there is a long driveway and a detached two-car carport. Within the home you will find period appropriate design elements, like columns and a built-in bench at the entry, oak floors, and 10-foot ceilings. The living room opens up to a spacious dining room which connects to a huge kitchen and big laundry room. The exterior of the home is adorned by architecturally important details like a wide front porch with a beadboard ceiling, exposed rafter tails, wide window frames, columns, dormers, and a river rock foundation. Overall, this property provides three specific attributes that nearly all buyers care about; it is conveniently located - close to the 210 FWY and Old Pasadena; it has unique architecture and a 120-year history; and most importantly it offers an enormous lot for a creative buyer to utilize, whether adding an ADU, building a custom garage, installing a pool, or a designing your own private compound. With this much land your options to add value are enormous. Due to the property’s distinguished provenance the buyer is also advised to look into the possibility of this home qualifying for Mills Act status, which may help significantly reduce their property tax obligation.
