Property Description

Historic Estate Victorian Home! Step into South Pasadena's storied past at The Bissell House, a Queen Anne Victorian estate built in 1887 on an expansive half-acre corner lot along the city's prestigious Millionaire's Row. This iconic historic property spans 5,535 sq. ft. across three stately levels and features 7 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms, plus a separate pool house and two-car garage.Once home to Anna Bissell McCay, daughter of the famed Bissell vacuum family, and her husband William S. McCay, an architect, this residence is steeped in Pasadena history and architectural artistry. Signature details include Tiffany stained-glass windows, Edwardian clawfoot tubs, ornate woodwork, and a rare Sedgwick elevator, all speaking to the home's craftsmanship and legacy. While the estate retains its timeless charm, it is being offered in as-is condition and presents a remarkable restoration opportunity. With updates, and modern improvements, this property is ideal for a visionary buyer seeking to restore, reimagine, or reinvent a true architectural treasure. Formerly operated as a bed-and-breakfast and wedding venue, the Bissell House offers income potential or the chance to create a one-of-a-kind private residence. Surrounded by lush gardens, mature trees, and historic character, this home
