Property Description
Looking for your slice of Heaven? Find out how deliciously sweet life can be residing at 898 N Chester Avenue within the Bungalow Heaven Landmark District in Pasadena. Among the sixteen-block area, developed primarily between 1888 and 1929, this Spanish Colonial Revival built in 1921 offers 3-bedrooms and 2-bathrooms within 1,396 sq ft of pure pride of ownership. A magnificent magnolia tree greets you telling the tales of time as you walk up to the front porch and step inside. Enter into the living room with fireplace, wood-framed casement windows, original hardwood floors, and architectural details such as the arch cut-outs between the living and dining rooms, providing visual connections defining the style, while creating a sense of openness between spaces. Consider the soulful attributes from the past including the original built-in buffet in the spacious dining room, and through a wall of French-doors you find an outdoor patio. Take in tasteful improvements and upgrades, such as the new kitchen with quartz countertops and new appliances with a large wall of windows providing constant northern light exposure throughout the day. Get cozy in your breakfast nook and enjoy having morning coffee or afternoon tea with a book. A breezeway off the kitchen leading to the garage accommodates the laundry room with washer and dryer. Located off of the kitchen, there is an additional updated guest bathroom with shower. A central hallway off the dining room leads to the sleeping area with three comfortably-sized bedrooms. Wooden louvered interior shutters allow control balanced light while allowing airflow. The main bathroom has been remodeled with fresh ceramic tile and vanity. Additional storage can be found in the California basement along with the new water heater. The home has recently received a fresh coat of paint. Several systems including a newer roof, copper plumbing and a new HVAC with new ducting, furnace, condenser, IWAV ozone filter and HEPA filter, installed in 2024 have been outfitted to this home, including 220-amps for electric vehicles. The cherry on top of this slice of California paradise? The corner-lot bungalow sits on a generous 7,698 sq ft lot, designed for effortless outdoor entertaining. Step into a beautifully xeriscaped backyard where low-maintenance composite granite pathways wind through drought-tolerant native plants, all softly lit by ambient outdoor lighting. Whether you're lounging under the redwood pergola, gathered around the cozy fire pit, or enjoying a meal at the picnic area with sweeping mountaintop views, every moment here celebrates California's outdoor lifestyle. But that's just the beginning. With multiple entertainment zones already in place, there's still ample space to expand - add an ADU, a garden, or more lounging areas. Pass along the streets lined with large mature California live oaks and camphor trees and enter through an automated gate to a finished two-car garage, with room to park additional vehicles with ease. This home offers the perfect blend of history, relaxation, and utility. Just two blocks away from McDonald Park. Enjoy the bounty of neighborhood businesses, such as, Millie's Cafe, Roma Market, Bacchus Kitchen + Wine Bar, Lavender & Honey Espresso Bar, Seed Bakery, Madeline Garden Bistro & Venue, Bistro 45, Union Restaurant, The Gourmet Cobbler Factory, Fika Fika Coffee, Bloomfield Creamery and Erewhon. Come see what Heaven is really like.
