This masterpiece early Craftsman home will capture your heart. One of the first built in Eagle Rock when that Los Angeles community was merely foothill orchards, this home's unique design encases light-filled parlors in a Prairie Style-inspired wrap-around porch, framed throughout in sturdy redwood. Hand-crafted details include custom bathroom tiling, original brass door hardware, custom wood chandeliers, pecan hardwood flooring, gorgeous crown moldings, nine foot ceilings, picture hanging rails, and ample period beadboard. The foyer -- which housed the owners' seven-foot grand piano -- opens to a dramatic stairwell, a spacious living room with a Batchelder-style rabbit motif custom tile fireplace, and a sun-drenched formal dining room. The kitchen is light and bright with plenty of counter space. Ideal work-from-home floor plan includes a bedroom en-suite downstairs -- as well as a sleeping porch with 200 sunset views of Griffith Park and surrounding hillsides -- either of which is perfect for a home office. The three upstairs bedrooms include the master with the enclosed porch, walk-through closets, and a full, steamroom-equipped master bath. A full California basement with carpentry bench and ample storage, a three-kilowatt paid in full solar system as well as a two-car detached garage with attic built when the home was updated with new electric, new copper plumbing and retro-fit for earthquakes in 2005. The rear yard is landscaped with mature fruit trees. a perfect place for family and friends to play and relax. Located on one of Eagle Rock's most prestigious tree-lined streets. This highly sought-after location is steps from trendy shops and award-winning eateries. California living at its finest.
