A striking Queen Anne Victorian home, affectionately known locally as "Esperanza," has been listed for sale at $2 million in the Eagle Rock neighborhood of Los Angeles. The 138-year-old property, built in 1888, stands out with its vibrant purple, lavender, and pink exterior.
Located on Mount Royal Drive, the house spans 2,670 square feet and includes four bedrooms and three bathrooms. The nearly half-acre lot offers views of the city lights. Inside, the home retains many original Victorian-era details, such as wood floors, a fireplace in the living room, and a classic upstairs bedroom layout. Recent upgrades have been made to the kitchen, primary suite, and bathrooms, though the distinctive purple theme is present even in the kitchen island.
The home's architecture includes a turret, decorative shingles, a covered porch with stone accents, and a separate balcony accessible via a spiral staircase. According to the listing agent, the home's former owner, Leonora Pierotti, had a fondness for the color purple, which inspired the home's unique aesthetic.
The property also features an in-ground pool in the backyard. The house is situated in an area that has seen a creative renaissance, offering proximity to local amenities while maintaining a sense of seclusion.
Esperanza is listed by Coldwell Banker Realty.
