About This Property

Set on a wide, gently curving street just above Hill Drive, this 1931 Spanish home offers 3 bedrooms and 2 baths across 1,794 square feet. The house retains many of its original details, from the hand painted wood beams that define the living room to the wood burning fireplace that anchors the space, with oversized windows and French doors opening to the courtyard. A long hallway brings a sense of drama, with high set windows drawing beautiful light into a space often left in shadow. Softly textured plaster, arched openings, original hardwood floors, and period bathrooms with vivid tilework and stained glass further speak to the home's character. A lovely dining room sits between the kitchen and living room, creating an easy connection between the home's central gathering spaces. The classic kitchen is finished with Marmoleum in a playful checkered pattern, brand new stainless steel appliances, and nickel hardware, while a Miele washer and dryer are tucked into the adjacent laundry and pantry area. Dark timber, green painted doors, vintage hardware, recessed niches, and newly installed TM Cobb windows and doors throughout much of the home create a considered balance between preservation and renewal. The landscape is equally composed. The front yard is planted with California natives, while through a gated, paved arched walkway, the backyard is revealed. The rear garden includes jasmine, a lemon tree, and fuchsia bougainvillea. A pergola, firepit, water fountain, grassy area, and grilling area shape the outdoor spaces into a series of intimate gathering moments. Separate garden studio offers flexibility as a writing room, office or creative space. The garage once functioned as a woodshop, with driveway parking and an EV charger in place. Beyond its visible character, the home has benefited from substantial improvements, including a new roof, owned solar panels, seismically retrofitted foundation, 200 amp electrical panel, and copper gutters. These improvements support the home's original texture and period details without diminishing its character. The setting adds another layer of appeal, with the Eagle Rock Recreation Center, designed by Richard Neutra, nearby, along with Dahlia Heights Elementary and a host of classic neighborhood shops, restaurants, and daily rhythms that give Eagle Rock its sense of place. Preserved rather than stripped, updated without losing its charm, this Spanish home carries the texture, color, and individuality of a house with a true sense of place.
