5163 Loleta Avenue

Set in one of Eagle Rock's most sought-after pockets, this updated Craftsman stands apart for its thoughtful layout, designer finishes, and location within the Dahlia Heights Elementary district, north of Colorado. From the street, it feels established and inviting, with a wide front porch and drought-tolerant Australian native landscaping that creates both beauty and ease. Inside, natural light moves effortlessly through the home, highlighting rich wood floors and a layout that feels both intentional and easy to live in. At the center of the home, the kitchen is entirely custom built to maximize the scale of the space, with bookmatched Azul Mary quartzite, sourced from Brazil, wrapping the counters and backsplash to create a striking focal point that is as durable as it is beautiful. A cozy built-in nook offers the perfect spot for casual meals, while the kitchen's placement between the formal living and dining rooms allows everything to flow naturally. High-end appliances include a Miele refrigerator, Bosch double oven, and Dacor cooktop. Just off the living room, pocket doors open to a den with built-in shelving overlooking the front porch, a flexible space that works equally well as a home office, family room, or additional bedroom. The main level offers three bedrooms plus this additional den or office, providing flexibility for a variety of living arrangements, while upstairs the entire level is dedicated to the primary suite, creating a true retreat complete with a corner soaking tub positioned to take in the mountain views. Out back, the property delivers on lifestyle, with a pool and spa anchoring the yard, surrounded by mature greenery, multiple areas to relax or entertain, and a producing bacon avocado tree that adds something truly special. A detached garage offers meaningful flexibility for a workshop, studio, gym, or future guest space, while a rare basement provides additional storage or usable space seldom found in California homes. Just moments from Colorado Boulevard's best dining, coffee, and neighborhood favorites, yet tucked into a quieter residential setting, this is a Craftsman where character, setting, and finish come together with intention.
