Welcome to the G.W. Stimson House - a historic, Italian Revival treasure in South Pasadena's prized Oaklawn Historic District. If the home's elegant design seems familiar, it's because renowned architect G.L. Stimson conceived it as a smaller-scale interpretation of his 1909 masterpiece, the Wrigley Mansion (Tournament House). Both properties were built by Stimson's father, G.W. Designated as a South Pasadena Centennial Heritage Home and offering significant property tax savings through its Mills Act status, 203 Oaklawn Ave is a celebration of old-world craftsmanship and timeless beauty. Exquisite curb appeal, a deep, covered front portico, and a distinguished facade establish an immediate sense of classic elegance. Inside, rich mahogany trim, handsome built-ins, and wrought iron detailing bask in the glow of abundant natural light. Whether hosting intimate gatherings or gala events, the home's grand scale and inviting social spaces elevate every occasion. From the sweeping formal living room, to the oversized central foyer, to the elegant dining room with original, hand-painted wallpaper by Mildred Bryant Brooks - you'll love bringing friends and loved ones together in such a beautiful setting. The main level also includes a spacious kitchen with a nearby bedroom en suite, radiant sunroom, bonus room, den, and access to a stunning veranda off the foyer. Five bedrooms and three bathrooms are found upstairs, ensuring you have plenty of space to grow into. You'll host countless joyful celebrations and soirees in the private backyard, where an expansive covered patio offers cooling shade while overlooking a peaceful fountain, grassy lawn, and lush landscaping. An architectural, glass-walled studio also rests in the backyard, offering a sun-drenched sanctuary for work, exercise, or creative projects. Available for the first time in nearly half a century, 203 Oaklawn Ave is more than just a beautifully preserved, historic home - it is a bridge connecting a remarkable past, a present worth savoring, and the future you always envisioned.
