About this home

A Spanish Revival Jewel Box in the Hills of City Terrace. Welcome to 1524 N. Eastern Avenue, a modern updated 1920s Spanish-style bungalow, a combination of historic charm, inspired design, and contemporary comfort. Just three miles east of downtown LA, the main residence offers just under 1,100 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space within a fully fenced and gated private compound, an intimate urban sanctuary with a personality all its own. Meticulously transformed, with interiors by Krieglelein Design, the three-bedroom home celebrates its heritage while embracing modern living. A generous front porch leads to a charming green Dutch front door, while graceful arches connect the light-filled living and dining rooms. The spacious kitchen features top grade appliances, earthy pine green cabinetry, warm brass accents, open shelving, and white artisan textured tile. Two generously proportioned bedrooms, one with its own beautifully renovated en-suite bathroom, offer comfort and style, while a third bedroom provides flexibility as a home office, nursery, or creative retreat. A second Spanish tile bath with shower is conveniently located off the hallway. But 1524 N. Eastern's beauty goes far beyond the surface, with updated plumbing, electrical systems, and HVAC, plus updated roof, providing peace of mind. Outside, the property unfolds into a secluded oasis. A beautifully landscaped courtyard, mature fig trees, and inviting outdoor gathering spaces create an idyllic setting for entertaining, alfresco dining, or simply relaxing in privacy. Coveted street-to-street access offers the convenience of front and rear gated entrances, easy drive-through access, and generous off-street parking for two cars. Tucked into the rear of the compound is El Nino, an enchanting detached Spanish-style guest cottage with its own three-quarter bath. Featuring a traditional clay tile roof, warm wood detailing, and a cheerful green entry door, this delightful hideaway is ideal for visiting guests, a private creative studio, or a peaceful work-from-home retreat. Set among the winding streets and historic public stairways of City Terrace, the property captures the eclectic spirit of one of Los Angeles' most intriguing hillside communities. Enjoy views of the Downtown skyline and a peek-a-boo view of the iconic Hollywood sign, along with convenient access to City Terrace Park, neighborhood favorites including Serra's Market, La Terraza Cafe and Barrio Italian Bistro, nearby Cal State LA, and major freeways connecting you to the best of Los Angeles. A bit of old Los Angeles, beautifully reimagined.
