180 State, Pasadena CA 91105 | $1,300,000

Welcome to 180 West State Street, built in 1928 as noted in the National Register of Historic Places. This two-story oversized cottage constructed in the Tudor Revival style is located in the Pasadena Avenue Historic District and was designed and built by Harry McMaster. The primary roofline is an asymmetrical side gable with four levels and a steep pitch. An entry porch on the north elevation has a swept gable and is clad in stone veneer, with a floor of the same stone and a recessed door. The door is arched and constructed of wide vertical wood planks with a large metal strap hinge. It has an arched window of amber-colored rondelles constructed of bullseye glass. Above the entry porch is a hipped-roof dormer with a ribbon of single-pane wood casements. A one-story garage is attached to the north with dovecote detailing in the front-facing gable. Many original windows have mullions that appear to be constructed of lead. A wide, tapered chimney on the west elevation is constructed of irregularly coursed clinker brick. A second, recessed portion of the west elevation has vertical half-timbering and wood shingle cladding in its gable. Other decorative details on the house include rounded plaster corners, half-timbering, oversailing second-story walls with exposed joints, and scrolled woodwork supports underneath some windows. Utilities have been off for an extended period of time and will not be activated for inspections. Property is currently not habitable and there are health and safety concerns.
