About this home
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 façade. 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 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, fig, 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 away; a beloved neighborhood park where children play and residents enjoy views of the foothills. Experience the strong sense of community and enjoy nearby favorites such as Millie’s Café, Roma Market, The Italian Deli Co., Bacchus Kitchen + Wine Bar, Lavender & Honey Espresso Bar, Seed Bakery, Madeline Garden Bistro & Venue, Bistro 45, Union Restaurant, Old Sassoon Bakery, Fika Fika Coffee, Bloomfield Creamery, and Erewhon. Come see why this special home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places....
