Welcome to 894 and 894B South Pasadena Avenue, Pasadena: an opportunity to restore and revitalize a historic duplex in the Pasadena Avenue Historic District. The front house with 1196 sqft (approx.) was built in 1903 by August C. Brandt, one of the contractors for Greene and Greene. This single-family traditional cottage is on one level with influences of the Colonial Revival style. A large pergola with carved beams extends from the roof eaves into the front yard and over the driveway, forming a porte cochere to the backyard. The home has a simple rectangular footprint and a hipped roof clad in shingles with flared eaves and curved, exposed rafter tails. While it has a similar footprint to other cottages in the district, its lower-pitch roof and larger windows along with the pergola/porte cochere show some early influences of the Arts and Crafts movement. In the rear, a Craftsman-style unit with 583 sqft (approx.) was built in 1911 and has a front-facing gabled roof and exteriors clad in coursed wood shakes. In addition, there is also a noncontributing shed at the end of the concrete driveway with exteriors of board and batten siding and a double-leaf door with strap hinges. 2 electrical meters! Don't miss the chance to restore this historic gem with two units on a lot and the opportunity to take advantage of the Mills Act, making this home eligible for significant property tax savings.
