house in the woods

This Tudor style sits in a small glen where Temescal Creek runs above ground before it runs into Temescal Lake.  The house was built in the 20s or 30s, long before the Warren Freeway landed at its doorstep.  And before people cared that they were building on an earthquake fault line.  Being below the freeway and in a densely wooded area helps mitigate the sound of traffic.  But still, it can't be as calming as when families first moved into the area.  Progress.

  1. What a great house. You'd think after the '06 earthquake a few years earlier they'd care about building on a fault line!

  6. That is a gorgeous area, love this home, but must agree with you, the noise, especially at night must take some getting used to.

  7. Reminds me of the replica of Anne Hathaway's Cottage in British Columbia ... but on a grander scale.
