A landmark 1905 Tudor Revival residence designed by Kavanaugh & Barnes and built by the F.O. Engstrum Company on nearly one acre in South Pasadena's Oaklawn Historic District has been listed for $5,400,000 by Darrell Done, a Coldwell Banker Global Luxury Property Specialist affiliated with the Pasadena office of Coldwell Banker Realty. In 1905, the home was commissioned by J.M. Kellerman, the president of the Oak Lawn Improvement Company and an oil industry entrepreneur. Located at 412 Oaklawn in Pasadena, Calif., the approximately 5,199-square-foot residence has seven bedrooms, two bathrooms and two half baths.
“Carefully stewarded through seismic retrofitting, sensitive remodeling and restoration, the property maintains its architectural integrity throughout, reflecting the early American Tudor Revival style, defined by steeply pitched front-facing gables, ornamental half-timbering, stucco and masonry cladding and distinctive brick detailing,” said Done. “This home stands as a rare offering, combining historic pedigree, expansive grounds and enduring presence in one of South Pasadena's most sought-after neighborhoods.”
A deep, recessed brick entry porch framed by a Tudor arch creates a dramatic sense of arrival. Created during a period of rapid cultural and architectural growth in the area, the home's scale and detailing reflected the aspirations of the Oaklawn tract, a master planned enclave promoted as South Pasadena's “suburb deluxe” The interior includes bands of small paned nine-over-one wood sash windows wrap the facade, while a prominent bow window anchors the western end of the house. Original architectural details feature hardwood floors, finely crafted millwork, built-in cabinetry, leaded glass accents and generously scaled public rooms that reflect the home's early Old English design. The grounds offer a historic carriage house beside the pool, updated with a kitchen and bath, as well as a separate studio with a fireplace opening to the outdoor dining terrace.
