Property Description

Offered for the first time in its history, the Robert Pena Rosales Residence stands as a rare and remarkably intact piece of East Los Angeles architectural heritage. Cradled by the tranquil University Hills of El Sereno sits this cabin-like Mid Century built by Robert Pena Rosales for his family; a Mexican-American draftsman who once worked for Gensler & Associates. This deeply personal Mid-Century retreat has remained in the same family for more than seven decades, passing two generations of stewardship since its completion in 1952. The home was conceived as a harmonious extension of its natural surroundings. Echoing the spirit of the postwar Case Study era, Rosales embraced a restrained, simple timber-forward palette, crafting a split-level residence defined by warmth, simplicity, and a profound connection to the landscape. Original wood-paneled walls, exposed ceiling beams, custom handrails, and parquet flooring remain beautifully preserved, imbuing the home with an enduring sense of character and authenticity. Expansive floor-to-ceiling glazing and oversized windows draw sunlight deep into the interiors throughout the day, dissolving the boundary between indoors and out. The first floor, is comprised of a large living room that opens to a spacious deck which shares vast south-easterly hillside views as well as one of 3 bedrooms, also with front deck access. More than a residence, this is a legacy property. An exceptionally rare offering that has quietly witnessed 74 years of family life, celebration, and has seen generations of love and created life lasting memories within its walls. The home also comes with a 2-car garage and additional driveway parking. The Robert Pena Rosales Residence presents a singular opportunity to become the next steward of an irreplaceable Los Angeles story.
