About This Home
ATOP ONE OF THE HIGHEST HILLS, ABOVE THE VIBRANT PULSE OF EAGLE ROCK: A RESIDENCE OF DISTINCTION AND BREATHTAKING PROMISE • 1566 SILVERWOOD DRIVE Tucked securely into the coveted Eagle Rock hills and reached via a long, private driveway shared with only one neighbor, this charming hilltop residence offers an immediate sense of quiet exclusivity. Offered for the first time in over 60 years, and once home to Marilyn Monroe’s personal nurse, a property of this rich Hollywood pedigree presents a remarkably rare opportunity in Northeast Los Angeles. From the moment you arrive, you are greeted by a front-row seat to spectacular, cinematic views that frame the California sky and surrounding neighborhoods in absolute splendor. Stepping inside, the 1,170-square-foot layout is artfully configured so that these breathtaking, scenic views are captured from every single room in the home, including the living room, dining area, both bedrooms, and both bathrooms. The sun-drenched living room serves as the heart of the home, centering around a classic brick fireplace set against expansive front windows designed to draw the eye out to the horizon. Maintained and freshly painted inside and out, the residence seamlessly blends vintage character with modern peace of mind, thanks to practical upgrades like a 2020 roof replacement and a new water heater. Enjoy ultimate year-round comfort with a newer multi-zone HVAC system featuring 3 individual thermostats. Adding to the home's exceptional functionality, an attached two-car garage paired with generous private driveway delivers a highly sought-after convenience that is a true rarity for hillside Los Angeles living. This pristine property is truly move-in ready!
