This charming Colonial Revival cottage, a true treasure-trove of tiles by Ernest A. Batchelder, was recently declared a City of Pasadena Landmark Property. F. L. Bud Compton, Batchelder's chief colorist and assistant, commissioned its construction in 1916 using The Pasadena plan by the Aladdin Company of Bay City, Michigan. Ernest Batchelder reportedly designed the fireplace himself as a wedding gift to Compton and his bride. During the 63 years that Compton lived here, he enhanced the house and gardens with many wonderfully designed and colored tiles. The sunroom is filled with Batchelder's delightful animal and plant motifs; the adjacent paved patio features an enchanting Batchelder fountain. The grounds include private spaces, formal plantings and paths, Compton's own rose garden as well as his workshop and garage. Recent additions include a third bedroom and bath upstairs, and a new kitchen with breakfast area. A rare opportunity to own a very warm, inviting and historic home.
