1821 Campus Rd, Los Angeles, CA 90041

Lovingly referred to as the McDowell house by previous owner, Occidental College, this 1925 colonial revival was designed by architects Weston & Weston before they designed the local landmark, American Legion Post 43 in Hollywood. Built for a local attorney and former Occidental Alumni Association President, Charles E McDowell and his family, the home would later go on to be owned by Occidental College from the 1950s into 1970s. Reminiscent of New England and perched on a knoll, the shingled siding, and original wood windows preserve the intrinsic character of this property. With excellent indoor/outdoor flow from the kitchen and formal living room, updates include a remodeled kitchen with apron sink, Kitchen Aid appliances, and a restored vintage Wedgewood stove that adds a touch of whimsy, as well as updated bathrooms, new HVAC and a full electrical rewire with a 200 amp panel upgrade. Additional features include wood flooring throughout, a California basement, and a 2 car garage.

The essence of New England is embodied in this wonderful home located on a beautiful tree lined street with autumn colors that will take your breath away. Adjacent to Prestigious Occidental College & minutes away from Colorado Blvd, the urban pulse of trendy Eagle Rock, the home is set back from the street at the crest of a gentle rolling lot framed by beautiful landscaping & a rare Riparian Oak. Pass the beveled glass front door & enter the tranquility of a magnificent step down living room with hi-exposed wood ceilings, HW floors, brick FPLC & oversized French doors that open out to the fragrantly planted patio & grassy yard. The FDR with Bay window and built-ins awaits culinary wonders to arrive from the large eat-in kitchen flooded with natural light. A rear motor-court provides extra parking in addition to the double garage. There is also a vegetable garden and dog run for Fido. Upgraded plumbing, baths & earthquake retrofitted. Move-in Condition!
