Introducing the iconic 1887 Bissell House, a distinguished three-story Victorian estate gracing South Pasadena's prestigious "Millionaires Row" and a designated City Cultural Landmark. This remarkable corner property, enveloped by impressive 40-foot hedges for enhanced privacy, seamlessly blends historical significance with modern potential. Key Features: Boasting 5,535 sq ft of living space on an expansive, level lot exceeding half an acre, this grand home offers 7 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms. Discover a formal living and dining room, butler's pantry, charming original baths and sinks, a convenient 1940s elevator, a library, a basement, a garden, and a pool. Numerous original details throughout evoke its rich heritage. Holding a valuable bed and breakfast license, this estate presents a unique income opportunity for a buyer with a vision for restoration. This captivating Victorian became a cherished "center of hospitality" after its acquisition around 1903 by prominent Southern California architect William Southerland McCay and his philanthropic wife, Anna Bissell McCay, daughter of the Bissell Carpet Sweeper inventor. Notably, the home even welcomed esteemed guests such as Albert Einstein. Nestled in South Pasadena, an early Los Angeles suburb incorporated in 1888, residents enjoy
