Nestled in one of the most desirable pockets of Eagle Rock is what the neighbors call the "Secret Garden House": a one-of-a-kind 1926 English cottage property where old-world charm blends seamlessly with impeccable modern design and a truly unique, versatile living space. Past the lush foliage, mature fruit trees, and stately pines, find yourself in a 2 bed/1 bath + office 1,170 sqft home where every detail has been lovingly considered by its owners - both design professionals. In the living room, coved ceilings and original 1920s plaster walls are accented by a wood-burning fireplace, original brass sconces, and gorgeous oversized picture window. An arched entryway leads to a dining room with elegant French doors and views of the foothills as well as an office boasting saltillo tile floors, wood-beamed ceilings, and stained glass. The kitchen features granite countertops and a large pantry as well as an attached laundry room with light, bright louvre windows and plenty of extra storage space (as well as a cat door!). Two sizable bedrooms - one featuring limewash paint, the other featuring cedar-lined closet - share a stunningly restored bathroom that calls to mind the intricate tilework of the 1920s. Downstairs and through a separate entrance, find a third bedroom with polished concrete floors leading to an absolutely incredible bonus space - taken together, an additional 1,045 sqft. The options here are limitless; the current setup is an entertainer's paradise featuring a full bar, luxe built-in sofa and bookshelf, built-in cabinet for housing a projector and screen, and an additional bathroom with clawfoot tub as well as large crawlspace storage area. Head out to the back yard and find a master class in indoor/outdoor living: enjoy relaxing on the massive covered veranda - complete with TV and ceiling fan - or unwind after a long day in the jacuzzi encased by a custom wood deck (then rinse off in your private outdoor shower). The home's amenities are too many to list, but include a large carport with built-in storage plus architectural plans for a second-story unit, 200 amp electrical panel, tankless water heater, custom Yakisugi redwood exterior fencing, integrated exterior lights, structural reinforcements, and more. Located in sought-after Eagle Rock Elementary and moments away from the best restaurants and shops NELA has to offer, 2727 El Roble is the rarest of gems and an incredible opportunity to own a character-rich, thoughtfully designed modern sanctuary.
