The Shimmin House. 1909. G. Lawrence Stimson, architect. This is an incredible chance to be the next steward to bring this classic historic example of an early Arts and Crafts estate into the 21st century. Located in the Oaklawn Park area of South Pasadena between the Greene and Greene designed stone entrance portal and their Oaklawn bridge, sits this majestic Craftsman time capsule ready for its next chapter. The home retains virtually all its original details including fine wood finishes, ceiling beams with integrated light fixtures, wall sconces, and two fireplaces. On the main level there is a large living room with adjoining library/den, powder room, an ample formal dining room, kitchen and laundry room. The upper level includes five bedrooms, two additional baths, and an attached enclosed sunporch. There is a large, detached garage at the rear of the 15,000+ sf property. Truly a unique opportunity. Convenient to local shopping and transportation. And don't forget the award-winning South Pasadena School District.
