Mature trees and multiple outdoor zones create spaces for long summer dinners, weekend gatherings, or slow mornings in the sun. For builders or those dreaming of more space, the lot provides excellent potential for an addition or ADU (buyer to verify). From here, you’re minutes from Eagle Rock favorites: Sprouts Market (0.6 mi), Creature’s Coffee + Plants (0.5 mi), Eagle Rock Plaza (0.6 mi), Found Coffee (1.4 mi), Little Beast Restaurant (1.2 mi), and the Center for the Arts Eagle Rock (0.3 mi); all part of the neighborhood’s vibrant food, arts, and culture scene. Thoughtfully maintained and offered for the first time in decades, 5153 Windermere Ave is more than a home; it’s an opportunity to plant roots in a community known for its creativity, local pride, and everyday charm.
