755 N Chester Ave, Pasadena, CA 91104

Nestled in the Historic Bungalow Heaven district of Pasadena, this Mediterranean-style bungalow blends seamlessly into the vernacular of the neighborhood. Working closely with the Design and Historic Preservation Department at the City of Pasadena, this once neglected lot was faithfully restored to earn its rightful place in this historic neighborhood. A new 1,850 sq ft, 3 bedroom 2 bathroom single story home was constructed towards the front portion of the lot, in line with adjacent properties. Keeping true to its architectural style, the interiors feature custom, hand-troweled plaster wall finishes, arched openings, oak wood flooring, and colorful hand-painted Talavera tiles. Towards the rear of the property once stood a structure which served as the neighborhood tool shed during the 1910s, and was converted into a dwelling over the years. This structure was restored and converted into a detached 2-car garage and utility room, complementing the new structure and maintaining the historic primary structure. Not only does this home exceed energy efficiency standards with LED lighting, Nest system, EV car charger in garage, drought-tolerant landscaping and native California plant species, but the home also addresses the need for a more connected home, with smart lighting controls and building systems. Custom details and craftsmanship are abundant throughout. This absolute gem is a must see!!
