Property is move-in ready.
This 1939 Country English home is in move-in ready condition with significant updates that preserve its architectural integrity. The property features a spacious, updated kitchen with vaulted ceilings and stainless steel appliances, well-maintained hardwood and parquet flooring, and updated essential systems including HVAC, electrical, and a tankless water heater. While the bathrooms and kitchen show high-quality maintenance and style, they reflect a well-kept restoration rather than a brand-new full renovation, fitting the 'good' criteria perfectly.
Elementary School: Delevan Drive Elementary School (9/10).
Designed by renowned 1930s architect Clarence J. Smale, this Country English estate offers authentic vintage charm and a unique layout that provides a level of character and craftsmanship rarely found in modern homes.
The 9,000+ square foot lot functions as a private homestead, featuring mountain views and a mature edible landscape including avocado, cherry, apricot, and apple trees alongside a variety of fresh herbs.
The listing price was recently increased by over $300,000 shortly after hitting the market, which may create appraisal challenges or deter buyers sensitive to rapid valuation shifts.
With four bedrooms but only two bathrooms for nearly 2,500 square feet of living space, the home may feel underserved for larger families or buyers accustomed to modern luxury standards.
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, some 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.
