Just south of Mountain St. in Rossmoyne, known for its historic homes and tree-lined streets, this grand 1927 Tudor may just be the ultimate "Starter Mansion." With four bedrooms, three baths, and approximately 2,810 square feet, the house presents a remarkable collection of architectural details and craftsmanship. The vaulted living room features exposed beams, hardwood floors, beveled-glass windows, and a brick fireplace anchoring the space. French doors invite you out to the private south patio. An ideal spot for afternoon tea. Throughout the home, arched openings, original wood doors and windows, stained and beveled glass, period lighting, and a wrought-iron stair railing add distinctive character.The formal dining room opens through French doors to the porte-cochere, while the breakfast room looks out to the garden. The kitchen features custom wood cabinetry, intricate tilework, a hammered copper farmhouse sink, stained-glass windows, and an AGA range.Upstairs, the spacious primary suite features original hardwood floors with a graceful arched entry to a newly constructed en-suite bath with a marble-topped vanity, glass-enclosed shower, and stained-glass detail. Additional upstairs windows present downtown LA and Glendale skyline views. This includes a window-wrapped sleeping porch with views into the trees and backyard.Outside, mature gardens surround brick and stone terraces, winding paths, and tucked-away places to sit or dine beneath the trees. Established plantings create a sense of privacy, while a French door provides a direct connection to the garden. A detached two-car garage adds another practical benefit. More than anything, it's the details from the beveled and stained glass to the arched doorways, detailed woodwork, period lighting, and craftsmanship that make this house so memorable. Nearly a century after it was built, the Tudor architecture and thoughtful details give the home a character all its own. Rossmoyne is prized for its historic architecture and gracious residential streets, with Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Fish King, Nibley Park, and nearby hiking trails all close by.
