5217 Highland View Avenue, Eagle Rock, California 90041

Preserved architectural character sings in this 1915 Eagle Rock craftsman home! Located in the coveted neighborhood between Hill Drive and Las Flores, this home is sited just moments from a favorite stretch of Colorado Boulevard. Owing to its classic low-pitched gable roof with exposed rafter tails, wood shingle siding and a brick-clad front porch, this California Bungalow feels both familiar and special. Many original details remain here: pretty coved crown moldings, built in cabinetry with mirror-backed buffet and wavy glass fronts, plus a playful redwood front porch swinging bench. Boasting spacious bedrooms with picture rail molding and plentiful natural light, 2 tiled baths, and sitting porches, this property was one of the original Sears catalog Arts & Crafts kit houses of the early 20th century. Kitchen with a large adjoining breakfast room flow into a quintessentially craftsman laundry room with beadboard paneled walls and cabinetry. An unexpected surprise? The large family room with polished concrete floors and vaulted wood beamed ceiling and loft space just off the laundry affords endless possibilities: family room, studio, primary bedroom….your imagination rules here. French doors from the family room open to the nice-sized backyard with a prolific fruiting orange tree and plenty of space for play, entertaining, and sunny space for gardening. With ample driveway parking, the one-car garage provides so much utility to suit your needs. Minutes from beloved Eagle Rock gems like Cindy’s, Oinkster and Little Beast, but also convenient to Michelin-starred Dunsmoor, as well as coffee shops, yoga, fitness, art galleries and studios, this historic property in a great neighborhood offers the ideal of Northeast Los Angeles living.
