Los Angeles Home Sale

Perched gracefully on a hilltop where Eagle Rock meets Highland Park, this 1925 Spanish Revival blends timeless architecture with effortless SoCal living - a home where light, structure, and landscape are perfectly in sync, each enhancing the other as the day unfolds. Inside, the architecture is pure poetry of the era: vintage casement windows in the living and dining rooms frame expansive views of the San Gabriel Mountains; coved ceilings and an exquisite Batchelder fireplace define the heart of the home. Original refinished hardwood floors and arched passageways draw the eye from one airy space to the next, while French doors open wide to invite in hillside breezes. Upstairs, two bedrooms - both potential primary suites - offer distinct moods. One opens through French doors to overlook the terraced garden and a century-old oak; the other features a generous built-out closet and an ensuite powder room. Two baths share the level: one an authentic vintage space with a bay window and hand-painted Spanish tile, the other a tranquil ensuite retreat. The terraced backyard unfolds like an artist's landscape - featuring native succulents, a raised planting bed of herbs, and bougainvillea rest under the expansive canopy of a native coastal oak tree. Additionally, nestled off the outside patio is a petite, separate casita with Arroyo stone accents and French doors - the perfect painter's studio, office, or meditation space. Below, the lower level expands the home's versatility: an inviting living area with a relaxed Joshua Tree vibe, complete with its own bath and private entry - ideal as a guest suite, creative retreat, or in-law apartment. Close to Eagle Rock's family-friendly favorites, culturally and creatively rich Highland Park, and Pasadena's historical charm - this is classic Spanish architecture reimagined for easy, elevated California living.
