1544 Chia Way, Los Angeles, CA 90041

The Heart of NELA has a home base. Tucked inside The ERB, a collection of architect-designed small-lot homes in Eagle Rock, 1544 Chia Way sits at the meeting point of Eagle Rock, Glassell Park and Highland Park, putting some of Northeast LA's best food, coffee, wine and culture close at hand while offering the ease of newer construction. The ERB was conceived as a modern answer to urban LA living: detached single-family homes with no shared walls, efficient footprints, oversized windows, open floor plans and private outdoor space. Nearly 1,800 square feet, this three-bedroom home adds a flexible ground-floor bonus room that can shift easily from office to studio, gym, guest or play room. Upstairs, the main living level is bright and open, with generous living and dining areas and a streamlined kitchen centered around an island for cooking, gathering and everyday life. Three bedrooms include a spacious primary suite, while the private rooftop deck expands the living space outdoors with room to dine, entertain, garden or simply catch the sunset. The scale and flexibility let the house work in more than one way: live and work under one roof, create privacy for guests or multigenerational living, share with roommates to offset housing costs, perfect second home, for Occidental College students or Professors, or simply enjoy having room to spread out without taking on the upkeep of a large traditional property. Dual-pane windows, central HVAC, tankless water heating, direct access garage and laundry area room keep day-to-day ownership refreshingly straightforward. More time living, less time feeding an endless repair list, all while you put your housing dollars towards yourself - not a landlord. And then there is the location. Hilltop Coffee is just across the street, while Dunsmoor, Vidiots, Bub & Grandma's, Chifa, Capri Club, Walt's, The Grant, Habitat Coffee, Wife & The Somm, LA Homefarm, Sprouts and all the shops and restaurants of York Boulevard are within reach without getting in a car. Downtown LA, Pasadena, Glendale, Atwater, Silver Lake and Los Feliz are within 15 minutes or less. It is a rare LA combination: the privacy of a detached home, lots of sq ft and modern amenities, the ease of newer construction and Northeast LA's best right outside your door. Less time, money and energy spent simply maintaining and instead going toward your life and future.
