Property Description
Now is your chance to own an original Craftsman Estate in South Pasadena's prestigious and historically significant Oaklawn neighborhood. Built in 1908 by noted architect G. Lawrence Stimson (who built the Wrigley-Tournament of Roses House), this grand Craftsman Manor stands as a rare & enduring example of architectural excellence. The Green & Green brothers constructed the landmark stone portals at the entrance, the stone wall surrounding Oaklawn, & Oaklawn bridge, which led to the train waiting station. Purchased by Teddy Roosevelt's Vice President Charles Fairbanks in 1909 as a gift for his son, this home was owned by only 4 families over the past 116 years. The current stewards, the family of America's first professor of emergency medicine at USC, Dr. Gail V. Anderson, Sr., have lovingly maintained the property since 1962. On over half an acre of flat grounds, the stately 6-bedroom, 5.5 bath mansion features more than 108 unique windows, flooding the home with natural light & showcasing its timeless craftsmanship. The welcoming foyer has an impressive grand staircase creating a stunning first impression.
