325 Oaklawn Ave, South Pasadena, CA 91030

The Mitchell Residence is an architecturally significant home designed by G. Lawrence Stimson, one of Pasadena's most well-regarded architect builders. The design of the residence was inspired by the Greene and Greene brothers, who set the tone for the Oaklawn Park area of South Pasadena, with the design of the walls, entry gate and arched bridge. This two story residence, built in 1908, sits on a wide, quiet street, among other estate homes. This magnificent Craftsman home has 5 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms and a detached two car garage/workshop. The formal entry leads to a grand staircase. The generous living room has a wood burning, tile fronted fireplace and French doors. The French doors lead to a veranda, overlooking the beautifully landscaped gardens. The home has hardwood floors throughout and original paneling. The formal dining room is located on the northeast side of the property. The updated kitchen, complete with butler's pantry, has been designed with attention to the original character of the house. The library is easily accessible to the garden through French doors and is adjacent to the kitchen and full guest bathroom. The second floor consists of four large bedrooms, one with a sleeping porch/office, and two and a half bathrooms. Additionally, there is a maid's bedroom and full bathroom on the landing above the first floor, with a private service staircase that leads to the kitchen.
