This incredibly charming red farmhouse-esque cottage is located in a fantastic neighborhood in Eagle Rock, just a stone’s throw from the boulevards shops and restaurants and everything that’s happening in Glendale and nearby Highland Park.
Built in 1925 and nestled on a knoll above a winding street in the hills, you will be immediately enchanted by the delightful details throughout – like this beautiful stained glass window and cast iron steeples on the front door.
Gorgeous period details abound like this classic fireplace and the wonderful 1920s chandelier.
Step up from the living room to the spacious formal dining room. It’s a fantastic and comforting spot for nightly dinners with friends and family.
In addition to the living room, there’s also a great den that is lined by windows that bring in ample natural light.
Imagine curling up on this long sofa with a bowl of popcorn and enjoying an evening binge of The White Lotus.
Plus, notice this room features access to a finished attic.
The attic is a great bonus space for a quaint little office or could be used as a sleeping loft or storage.
The kitchen and breakfast area are vintage chic. The kitchen opens directly to the rear patio, fountain, and gardens.
There are two lovely bedrooms, each with polished hardwood floors and unique early 1900s windows.
One of the bedrooms has direct access to the patio through double French doors.
Outside is absolutely magical. There are multiple areas for relaxation and meditation. This stone clad courtyard has a fountain and multiple mature trees.
Plus a shaded spot for daydreaming. Also, notice the white picket fence and the storybook-style shutters, like something out of a fairytale.
Across the slate stone patio is an expansive detached office/guest/studio – you name it – with a sleeping loft.
It’s totally finished. I might use it as my painting studio. But the possibilities are endless.
And between brush strokes, one might find me napping up in the loft.
Upgrades to the home include central air and heating, copper piping, and those amazing Pella casement windows.
And then there’s this dreamy viewing deck at the top of the property.
You’ll love bringing a bottle of wine up here and enjoying the sunset over the Eagle Rock hillside.
Even the address is charming: 4964 Wawona. “Wawona” evokes the Victorian era and the legendary Wawona Hotel in Yosemite National Park, one of California’s original mountain resort hotels. But, of course, the word comes to us from Native American Peoples. “Wawona” got its name, according to the book of The Giant Sequoia of the Sierra Nevada, from the Miwok tongue as “who-who’nau”. “Wawona” represented the hoot of an owl which was considered to be the guardian spirit of the sequoia trees.
And that’s sort of exactly what 4964 Wawona Street in Eagle Rock offers its lucky next occupants: the feeling of guardianship, protection, safe harbor, home.
