A 1920s Spanish on Princeton Avenue
This 1927 Spanish in Elysian Heights feels especially good at sunset. Perched above the street on a quiet corner lot near the end of a cul-de-sac, the house catches light constantly, across the barrel ceilings, through the oversized windows, onto the olive trees and hillside views beyond. There’s a warmth and softness to the way it’s been reimagined.

Inside
The architecture carries all the romance you want from a 1920s Spanish: sculptural plaster walls, original barrel ceilings, arched openings, and rich textures. But the updates are what make the house feel especially current. The English-style kitchen is one of the strongest spaces in the home: skylit, warm, layered with marble and natural wood. It opens directly into a den overlooking Downtown LA, where floor-to-ceiling windows turn the city into part of the atmosphere. Downstairs, the primary suite leans fully into retreat energy: soaking tub, steam shower, doors opening directly to the pool. Very “just one more chapter” coded.
Outside
The backyard is surprisingly private for this part of the Eastside. Olive trees, layered greenery, sustainable landscaping, saltwater pool and spa: everything feels tucked inward from the city around it. The covered terrace overlooking Downtown might honestly become the most-used part of the house. Coffee in the morning. Wine at sunset. The kind of outdoor space that changes the way you live.
The O' Factor
What makes this house memorable is the balance. It still feels rooted in old Los Angeles architecture, but without the heaviness or over-styling that sometimes comes with Spanish restorations. The interiors are refined but relaxed. And the location is especially good for a certain kind of Eastside life: morning Canyon Coffee runs, Cookbook walks, Elysian Park evenings. A beautiful house. But more importantly, a very good life setup.
