1625 Silver Oak Terrace

Bespoke Eagle Rock home for the buyer with discerning taste in material, design and finish. In the foothills of prime Eagle Rock, a talented design/build team elevated this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home with custom woodwork by Figueroa Art & Design Solutions, modern system upgrades & serene outdoor spaces. Flanked by drought tolerant landscape, the raw & refined approach begins with deliberately unadorned, concrete stairs with slender, steel, black-finished handrail leading to a warm toned front door & custom planter. Inside Scandinavian restraint meets laid back California warmth. Creamy/off-white walls allow the white oak & Baltic birch millwork, cabinetry and front door to create visual continuity and cohesiveness between the living areas and private rooms. Skylights in the living room and hallway draw daylight to the center of the home. The open plan connects living, dining and kitchen with carefully placed walls of cabinetry that define zones without hard divisions. Sight lines are managed well allowing visitors to feel the depth of the home without seeing everything at once. Custom-built kitchen cabinetry appears flat front, with floor to ceiling runs. No visible hardware communicates a clean, European approach. The primary's adjacency of bed, wardrobe and bath is well planned. Millwork continues with tall wardrobe panels with routed hand-pulls. A clerestory window brings in natural light & frames treetop views & mountains while preserving privacy. Bathroom shower & walls patterned with vertically stacked zellige-style tiles of muted sage and olive greens pairs effortlessly with terrazzo tile floors, an oval freestanding tub and wooden vanity with dual sinks. Two well sized bedrooms share a bathroom wrapped in square, mosaic tile in an off-white matte finish creating a spa-like finish. Color-matched grout keeps the grid pattern subtle. Shower with recessed niche, frameless glass panel & brushed nickel distinguishes itself from the primary bath while maintaining same level of quality. A few steps below the main living floor is a potential fourth bedroom/office & powder room that open to the rear yard. The rear landscape design carves distinct zones each with character and purpose. Rather than one flat yard, you get several outdoor "rooms" that feel discovered as you move through the space. Terracotta tile defines the primary entertaining patio. Concrete pavers, stepping stone paths and the locally sourced, river-rock wall built in 1904 create a strong, horizontal banding across the yard transitioning between levels to the spacious, lush grass yard below. At the far end of the yard a "contemplation corner" with Adirondack chairs on gravel backed by a living green wall of foliage. Yard designed around the mature oak, rather than competing with it, allowing it to be the natural canopy and focal anchor. Additional major system upgrades include European white oak flooring throughout, new roof, tankless water heater, 200-amp electrical panel, updated HVAC system with new ducting, new garage door plus washer and dryer. The garage provides extra storage, with two driveways offering 3-car off street parking.
