First time on the market in 65 years, move-in ready, single-story living. Located on one of the most desirable streets in the Lower Rancho neighborhood, directly behind the L.A. County Arboretum where majestic peacocks roam freely, this timeless ranch home offers the epitome of indoor/outdoor Southern California living. Originally the personal residence of nationally-honored Landscape Architect Bob Eriksson, FASLA, the property showcases thoughtfully designed gardens and elegant living spaces. Set back from the street and framed by mature trees, the home features a charming brick front porch, large double-hung windows, and custom shutters. Inside, the foyer with paneled door and leaded glass windows opens to a welcoming living room with fireplace, which flows seamlessly to the skylit formal dining room and expansive beamed family room. A wall of glass and arched French doors highlight garden views, extending to the breakfast room and kitchen. The kitchen and adjacent wet bar include custom cabinetry, stone counters, and garden vistas, with convenient access to the mud/laundry room. The bedroom wing offers 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths (2 en-suite). The spacious primary suite features a tray ceiling, sitting area, wood-paneled closets, and French doors opening to the garden. The second en-suite bedroom enjoys its own private deck, perfect for morning coffee or quiet retreat. The rear yard unfolds across two levels with brick patios, signature concrete steps, an 8-jet in-ground spa, hillside dining deck, and a curated collection of specimen trees including a grove of eight mature Redwoods, a producing Avocado, Japanese Maple, California Sycamore, Carrotwoods, and more. Beautifully maintained, park-like grounds, and sensitively updated with a new tile roof, refinished hardwood floors, fresh paint, and new carpet, this move-in ready home is a rare offering in a coveted location — perfect for everyday living and gracious entertaining.
