Historic 1907 classic Craftsman bungalow awaits its new owner. Welcome to 889 N. Chester Avenue, located within the Bungalow Heaven Landmark District of Pasadena. This updated 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom home offers 1,160 square feet and was built and designed by developer Henry C. Deming. Sited on a 7,606-square-foot lot, the home is anchored by its strong horizontal proportions and cross-gabled roofline. Sheathed in clapboard on the lower story and shingles on the gable ends, a front-gabled porch occupies the north two-thirds of the faade. Broad windows with rows of small lights across the top and extended lintels provide additional horizontal emphasis, a hallmark of classic Craftsman design. A wooden pergola extends north from the house, spanning the driveway. From the front porch, step through the home’s entrance, flanked by half-height sidelights, into a light-filled living room featuring hardwood floors and a decorative fireplace. The spacious formal dining room showcases an original built-in buffet with leaded glass cabinet doors, while a door to the backyard enhances indoor/outdoor entertaining. The remodeled kitchen with quartz counter tops includes a breakfast area and offers ample cabinetry for cooking and storage. A coffee bar provides additional counter space for prep needs. The vintage Wedgewood gas stove nods to the home’s period, while a newer refrigerator and dishwasher deliver modern convenience. Just outside the kitchen is a side-by-side covered laundry area with washer and dryer. The naturally lit, modest-sized bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom featuring beautiful new ceramic tile, sink, and shower. An original large built-in cabinet provides generous linen storage and shelving. The front yard offers a large grassy area, while the driveway and backyard feature decomposed granite, providing a more sustainable landscape solution. Enjoy alfresco dining using the built-in Argentine barbecue, and cool off on warm summer days with the outdoor shower. Inspired by the neighborhood’s past, the property includes a mini citrus grove with kumquat, orange, lemon, and mandarin trees. The California basement, with exterior access, houses the new water heater and provides additional storage. A workshop area sits adjacent to the one-car garage, and the driveway offers ample off-street parking along with an electric vehicle charger. Located in the heart of Bungalow Heaven, McDonald Park is just a few blocks awaya beloved neighborhood park where children play and residents enjoy views of the foothills.
