Lovingly restored with an eye for both character & comfort, this soulful 1920s Craftsman bungalow sits in one of Eagle Rock's most beloved pockets, just blocks from Occidental College & the neighborhood's favorite restaurants, boutiques, and community gathering spots. A wide front porch sets the tone -the kind of place where morning coffee turns into chatting with neighbors under the shade of mature trees. Inside, character details shine: crown molding, double-hung windows, & warm wood floors that carry natural light through the living & dining rooms. The living room feels welcoming & cozy, centered around a decorative fireplace, while the formal dining room opens directly to a deck & down to the backyard, creating seamless indoor-outdoor flow for everyday living & easy entertaining. The beautifully updated chef's kitchen blends 1920s charm with modern function, featuring custom cabinetry, soapstone countertops, vintage-inspired lighting, & a six-burner range. A large island with built-in wine storage and a cozy breakfast nook with bench seating make this space ideal for both cooking and gathering -all while enjoying views of the San Gabriel Mountains to the north. From here, step out to the deck for sunset dinners or morning light with a view. Two bedrooms & a powder room sit at the front of the house, while a full bath honors the home's heritage with period-appropriate finishes. Tucked privately at the rear, the primary suite feels like a retreat, featuring cork floors, a large closet, & balcony access overlooking the backyard. A lower-level flex space opens directly to the yard & pool area, complete with its own 3/4 bath -ideal as a post-swim rinse zone, home office, or versatile indoor-outdoor hangout space. Out back, the private yard delivers quintessential SoCal living with space to dine al fresco, lounge poolside, or garden. The saltwater pool, replastered in 2014, has a Baja shelf & waterfall feature. Additional spaces include a laundry room with stackable washer/dryer, stainless steel sink, & built-in storage, plus a basement that could be another creative zone or extra storage. A long driveway provides ample off-street parking. All this, set so close to Eagle Rock's vibrant local scene - coffee at Muddy Paws or Creature's Plants & Coffee, drinks at Walt's or Capri Club, tacos at Senor Fish, and so much more. The tight-knit community on Ridgeview Ave is the kind where neighbors know each other by name -and where you'll quickly feel right at home.
