Mid-century View Home AND studio apt in Eagle Rock near Oxy, Caltech, L.A.

Description

Mid-century gem furnished by art-lovers, main dwelling and custom designed detached studio apartment/office, on ridge-top dividing two of L.A.'s coolest neighborhoods, Eagle Rock and Highland Park. Minutes from Occidental College, Pasadena and downtown L.A. The perfect peaceful getaway from it all, yet close to everything. This is truly a special place! This listing includes our main dwelling AND a new construction detached studio apartment, perfect for an office, granny flat or guest house. Available academic year, from September 2024 until June 30, 2025. Dates somewhat flexible. With architecture that was clearly inspired by John Lautner's work, this 1950 house is located on a ridge with fabulous views from both sides of the semi-circular glass living room: south to Highland Park and central L.A. and north to Eagle Rock, Glendale and Burbank. Minutes from downtown L.A., Silverlake, and Pasadena, but there is a feeling of being completely outside (and above) the city. Wonderful privacy and quiet. Hawks and doves put on airshows. Enjoy peace and vistas that change with the light, culminating in incredible night-time sparkle. The new studio apartment is architect-designed and fully permitted with sweeping views to the north and south from inside and from its own deck. There is a kitchenette and bathroom with view shower. Furnished by art-lovers. Three bedrooms, two baths in the main house. Two master bedrooms, one with spectacularly remodeled 3/4 bathroom, and one with a deck and sweeping view and an adjoining remodeled full bath. One additional small bedroom with large bay window, currently furnished with twin bed and toys for a 12-year-old. Kitchen is fully equipped with stainless appliances and an induction stove/convection oven with air fryer, dishes, pots and pans, etc. Gas BBQ, washer/dryer, patio furniture, decks, everything you need! Off-street outdoor parking for 3 cars (no access to garage). The house is our home (not a generic rental property) and is very family-friendly and comfortable. The latest feature is a hammock perfectly situated for taking in the view of Eagle Rock. Smoke free (including vaping and incense). Pets negotiable with additional deposit. Not suitable for parties, film shoots, loud noise. Parking is limited to our driveway--additional street parking involves walking at least a block.
