Property Description

Step into South Pasadena's storied past with the iconic Bissell House, an exquisite Queen Anne Victorian estate built in 1887 along the prestigious Millionaire's Row. This architectural gem spans 5,535 square feet across three stately levels, offering 7 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms. Once home to Anna Bissell McCay, daughter of the Bissell vacuum family, and her husband, architect William S. McCay, this Victorian landmark has welcomed generations of Pasadena's early visionaries and cultural figures through its doors. Two grand porte-cocheres frame the entrance, inviting you into a world of ornate detailing and historic charm. Inside, discover formal living and dining rooms, a richly paneled library, and a spacious utility basement. The estate also features a separate pool house, a two-car garage, and dual kitchens main and prep with Viking range and Sub-Zero refrigerator. All perfectly positioned on a generous half-acre corner lot. Original Victorian artistry with standout features including Tiffany stained-glass windows, Edwardian clawfoot bathtubs, and a rare Sedgwick elevator, an extraordinary nod to the home's legacy. Once a celebrated bed and breakfast and wedding venue, the Bissell House offers a rare opportunity for restoration or reinvention. Situated near the Pasadena Convent
