Eagle Rock Home Sale

Modern and romantic, this secluded compound is a discovery on a private road in the Eagle Rock hills. Sited under mature pine trees and framed by a grove of flowering abutilon shrubs, this property is unexpected and transportive. A graphite and black facade recedes into the shade of the trees, almost hiding plain sight...but inside, this 1,760 SF home and 472 SF studio/atelier/garage are expansive. Enter the home to experience warmth and volume: amber-hued wide plank wood floors glow in natural light from plentiful windows and reflecting from the vaulted tray ceiling. The welcoming great room offers ample space for living, dining, and inspired entertaining. Leafy green views of the neighborhood and foothills are a pleasant backdrop to be enjoyed while creative custom window shades provide simultaneous privacy. A sleek, contemporary kitchen with stainless appliances and flat panel cabinetry is chef ready, with a breakfast bar for added counter space. The spacious living room offers quick access to the sunny central courtyard for al fresco dining via the single-light windowed door, and a decorative double-sided fireplace - so great. Access to outdoor spaces is a theme here: french doors open to the courtyard from the central hallway, as well as to the backyard from the primary suite. If opening bedroom doors to fragrant orange blossoms is your fantasy, let it be realized here! This primary suite is generous in scale and amenities, with its own decorative fireplace, large walk-in closet and full bathroom with dual-sink vanity, soaking tub and rain shower. Two additional bedrooms, both with vaulted ceilings and hilly views, share the second full bath with a spa-style shower. A dedicated laundry room with a utility sink and adjacent closet provide a convenient space for chores and household storage. Just outside, the relaxed courtyard is a welcoming, attractive space for quiet enjoyment or entertaining friends. The adjoining back yard with edible nasturtiums underfoot, flaked by fruiting citrus trees, enjoys shade from a beautiful native oak overhead. Finally, the finished, light-filled garage studio is a fabulous canvas offering myriad possibilities to create, transform or work from home. With a lengthy driveway, there's ample additional parking space. Located in one of the most beloved pockets of Northeast LA, moments from all of the fun in Eagle Rock, Glendale and Highland Park this is a gem of a property in a great location.
