Some homes are built, this one was imagined. Designed in 1939 by Clarence J. Smale, an architect of the 1920's and 30's - this Country English gem in the heart of Eagle Rock carries the kind of architectural pedigree you simply cannot manufacture. From the moment you arrive, you feel it: The weight of craft, the warmth of a home that has held real life within its walls for years. Step inside and the vintage charm wraps around you - A fireplace that anchors the heart of the home and is tucked into a private study with its own separate entrance, perfect for the way we live and work today. A large central kitchen with vaulted ceilings, ample natural light, stainless steal appliances and plenty of storage invites you to create meals and memories for years. A large dining room sits off the kitchen for easy access. 4 bedrooms and 2 baths flow with the easy rhythm of a floor plan that was designed to be lived in, not just admired. Outside, the 9,000+ SF lot tells its own story. With views from the upper deck out to the mountains of Eagle Rock and down the property, one will notice a mature butter avocado tree, and a mature blueberry bush along with 3 cherry trees, a grand apricot tree, lemon, apple trees including a mature Fuji apple tree at the front of the property, and herbs galore - mint, rosemary lavender, etc. This property just begs you to make something with your hands. This isn't a yard its practically a homestead. And while the soul of the home is firmly rooted in another era, the bones are ready for today's living with a tankless water heater, updated electrical, HVAC, and newer washer and dryer. Gated from the street with ample parking in the driveway below, this home is truly one of a kind. Don't let this one pass you by.
