Introducing an exquisite and historically significant Queen Anne Victorian-style home in the charming and tree-lined neighborhood of Pasadena. This remarkable property is now available for purchase at the asking price of $2.55 million. Boasting an impressive wraparound front porch and elegant double entry doors, this 3,009-square-foot residence welcomes you into a spacious foyer complete with a magnificent grand staircase. Beyond the foyer, you will discover five spacious bedrooms and three beautifully appointed bathrooms.
Originally constructed in 1895, this house has a fascinating story to tell. In 1906, it was relocated to its current quarter-acre-plus lot, just a short distance away. Andrew Salimian, the preservation director at Pasadena Heritage, explains that in the early days of the city, it was common to move houses to alleviate traffic congestion or facilitate road expansion. At that time, entire houses were transported with the help of horses and wagons. Today, the process involves cutting homes into pieces, moving them by truck, and reassembling them on-site. This historical home is a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of a bygone era.
The George E. Hutchins house, named after its original owner who is touted as “a descendant of British royalty,” is a beloved cultural heritage landmark in Pasadena. It also contributes to the Park Place-Arroyo Terrace Historic District’s collection of distinguished structures dating from 1895 to 1916. In addition, this property may qualify for the Mills Act, an initiative that offers property tax savings in recognition of its commitment to preserving and maintaining historic properties.
Throughout the years, the house has been lovingly maintained and updated by its devoted owners. Polished hardwood flooring graces its interior, while period-appropriate wallpaper adorns the walls, preserving the timeless elegance of the Victorian era. The living and formal dining rooms feature bay windows that flood the rooms with natural light. The dining room also showcases a decorative fireplace and grants access to a charming side porch through a door.
The kitchen has received thoughtful upgrades and now boasts Viking appliances, a custom tin ceiling, and beautiful granite countertops. Its checkered floors extend seamlessly into the breakfast area, where you can enjoy delightful views of the backyard. The office, complete with built-in bookcases, an attached bathroom, and access to the rear porch and backyard, provides a serene space for work and relaxation.
On the second floor, four of the bedrooms await, each offering a tranquil retreat for rest and rejuvenation. Notably, this property contains a hidden gem not accounted for in the overall square footage. To access it, simply pull down the ladder, and you will be greeted by a fully finished attic encompassing 1,131 square feet. This attic features windows, two ceiling fans, a closet, and a welcoming porch.
In addition to the main house, there is a detached carriage house offering ample parking for two vehicles. Ascend the stairway attached to the carriage house, and you will discover a fully finished room spanning 351 square feet. Behind the carriage house, an additional 131 square feet awaits, complete with two storage closets that can double as another office or a versatile studio/workroom. The meticulously manicured backyard is highlighted by a delightful gazebo, providing the perfect setting for outdoor gatherings and relaxation.
