Recently listed in Los Angeles, California, this craftsman-style home lives up to the archetype. The landmarked property—originally built in 1892 for a professor who taught at Occidental College—comes with a facade made of riverbed stone and an interior filled with original woodwork. Both the structure and a streetside retaining wall were designated Cultural Monument #373 by the City of Los Angeles in 1988.

Although Occidental College relocated to the nearby Eagle Rock neighborhood in 1912, a series of landmarked homes, including this one, are part of an area originally known as Professors’ Row. The home’s unique facade is inlaid with stones collected from the Arroyo Seco River, which connects with the larger Salinas River in the central valley of California. Historical records indicate at least two additions have been added since the home’s construction, including a wood-clad, two-story section along the back.

The home now offers approximately 2,300 square feet of living space, including four bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The main floor holds the living area, den/study, dining room, and kitchen, as well as a spacious bedroom and vintage-style bath. The second floor has an additional two bedrooms and a bathroom, as well as a large bonus room that could double as a home office or fourth bedroom. Outside, shady patios are surrounded by a plethora of fruit trees that offer a fresh supply of Meyer lemons, oranges, grapefruits, and figs.
