Property Description
Storybook Charm Meets Thoughtful Design in the Heart of Eagle Rock
Nestled on a serene, tree-lined street canopied by majestic camphor and palm trees, 5218 Mount Royal Drive captures the essence of Eagle Rock living—where small-town charm blends seamlessly with artistic, urban energy. This 1923 vintage home has been tastefully enlarged and thoughtfully updated, striking a rare balance between historic character and modern function.
Step into the inviting living room, where a decorative fireplace adorned with original tiles set the tone. Vintage windows and a brass light fixture add authenticity. The gleaming hardwood floors flow into the formal dining room, with an exquisite built-in sideboard of Australian Gum wood and period French wiindows, which open to the front veranda.
In 2018, the kitchen underwent a full transformation under the expert eye of Kristin Kostamo-McNeil of the nationally acclaimed Ann Rae Design. With Italian slate floors, Cosentino countertops, high-end appliances, and custom cabinetry built by local artisans, the space honors its 1920s roots while embracing modern quality. Handmade tiles, vintage hardware, and arched doorways complete this masterful update. The kitchen flows into a pantry and bar area, leading to a spacious family room.
Designed for flexibility, the family room includes a designated home theater space, complete with a blue accent wall chosen for its screen-friendly tone. TV and components are included. Sliding doors provide a seamless connection to the covered back patio, creating a perfect indoor-outdoor entertaining flow. A generous utility/laundry room with built-in cabinetry and workspace adds even more versatility—ideal for crafts, hobbies, or household organization.
A large downstairs bedroom has been converted into a stunning home office, with custom built-in bookshelves and workstations. Nearby, an original bedroom and beautifully preserved vintage bathroom with vintage colorful tiles create a private guest or in-law suite on its own wing.
Upstairs, you'll find three additional bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a spacious primary suite with dual vanities and a jetted tub/shower combination. Ample closet space throughout ensures easy, organized living.
The private backyard offers room to relax, garden, or gather—and includes a detached two-car garage for convenience, storage and a possible ADU.
