It’s always exciting to see an American Craftsman, built nearly 100 years ago, fully renovated to bring it up to 2016 standards while maintaining its original luster and classic charm. This timeless craftsman, located North of York Boulevard and just South of Occidental College in Eagle Rock, is one of those homes perfectly designed and thoughtfully updated that recaptures the magic and appeal of the enduring Southern California Craftsman style.
The front yard is drought tolerant and contains aloe and agave plants. And as with any Craftsman worth its salt, there’s the spacious front porch, lovely for lounging and excellent for entertaining.
Upon entering you will be smitten by the abundant natural light, the pragmatic open floor plan, immaculate hardwood floors, large picture windows, and gorgeous green-tiled fireplace.
The kitchen has been pristinely remodeled and features both marble and butcher block counters, custom cabinetry, a separate dining area, eat-in bar, and a wide barn sink with a calming view.
The generous master bedroom is light and airy, with beautiful French doors opening up to the private backyard.
The bathrooms have been tastefully revamped and modernized, with more wonderful marble counters, stylish and elegant tile work, and handsome silver knobs and fixtures.
The second and third bedrooms are delightful enclaves with more bright light and quality finishes.
A detached and finished garage is currently used as an office and hang out spot, but could also double as an artists studio, yoga retreat, or musician’s quarters.
The private backyard is an entertainer’s dream, with several areas and alcoves for sitting, rolling green lawn, and easy indoor/outdoor access. You’ll want to have a backyard barbecue every night of the week.
Within walking distance to all of the happening spots on Eagle Rock and York Boulevards like Cafe de Leche, Donut Friend, The Hi-Hat, and Hermosillo, but also removed in a quiet and secluded drive just South of the college, this stunning home is a strong testament to the everlasting allure of the quintessential Southern California Craftsman style.
