360 Forest Avenue unit 605 (Casa Real)

Updated November 10, 2026 · By b. (findwithb.com)

A large, old fashioned one bedroom on the top floor of a 1929 Spanish Revival landmark two blocks from University Avenue. Every main room looks southeast, straight down onto the Casa Real pool, pool house and lawn and out over a canopy of redwoods and tile roofs to distant hills. The rooms are separate and generous: an entry with a coat closet and telephone niche, a long living room with four tall windows, a walk in closet, a separate dining room with a built in ironing board, a galley kitchen, and a bedroom whose mirrored door opens to a dressing passage with a built in wardrobe and drawers, a closet and a second door into the bathroom. Floors are refinished oak strip, walls plaster with crown molding and arches, doors original panel doors with glass knobs. The kitchen was redone with maple, granite and newer appliances (a 2012 Frigidaire FFHT1826LK5 refrigerator, a GE electric smoothtop range, a 2017 Frigidaire FFBD1821MW1B 18 in dishwasher, a 2022 InSinkErator Badger 5 and a loud Broan 43000 hood), but the bathroom is original pink and black tile with a pedestal sink, a tankless toilet, a tub with hand shower and a separate shower stall. Heat is building steam through cast iron radiators; there is no cooling, no thermostat and no laundry in the unit. The electrical panel in the walk in closet is an original A.G. Manufacturing plug fuse panel with a 25 amp fuse and screw in Mini Breakers.

Inside the apartment

Walking in

You step through a carved wood door into a small entry with an arched telephone niche built into the wall and a beige intercom handset by the coat closet, and two plaster arches split the way ahead. Through the right arch the long living room runs away from you over gleaming honey oak toward four tall windows full of treetops and sky, their reflections pooling on the floor. It feels gracious, old world and freshly cared for, with crown molding overhead and white panel doors with glass knobs.

Light and windows

This is a morning home. Every main window, four tall ones in the living room, one in the dining room and two in the bedroom, sits on one wall facing southeast over open sky with nothing built in front, so all three rooms fill with clear, even daylight, and direct sun pours in from early morning until around lunchtime. By the early afternoon of the tour the sun had already slid off the glass: the rooms were still bright, with window shaped reflections glowing on the glossy floors, but no sun patches. Afternoons and evenings will be softer and shaded, with no low golden sun. The galley kitchen has no window and lives on its round ceiling light, the bathroom gets a pale, frosted glow from a light well, and the entry and inner hall are lit from above. After dark the long living room needs lamps, because it has no ceiling light; the dining room has a five light chandelier and the bedroom a flush brass fixture.

Space and layout

This is an old fashioned plan of real, separate rooms rather than one open space. From the entry, the right arch leads into the long living room, with a walk in closet off it, and the left arch into an inner hall to the bathroom and the bedroom. A panel door takes you from the living room into a separate dining room under a chandelier, with a fold down ironing board hidden in a tall cabinet, and an arch beyond opens into a narrow galley kitchen with a second door back to the living room, so you can walk a loop. The bedroom is a generous, calm room at the far end of the hall, and a mirrored door leads from it into a dressing passage with a built in wardrobe over drawers and a closet, then a second door into the bathroom, so you reach the shower without crossing the hall. Ceilings feel tall throughout, and storage is unusually generous. Hosting works in a formal way: guests settle in the living room and eat at a real dining table while the cook works out of sight. The galley is the one tight room, a workspace for one person.

Sound during the visit

Up on the top floor no one walks above you, and the home faces the large garden at the back of the building rather than Forest Avenue. The walkthrough recording was hushed: apart from footsteps, doors and cupboards on the tour itself, the phone picked up no traffic, voices, music or appliance hum, and its quiet moments measured among the softest of any toured home, the bedroom as calm as the rest. With a living room sash raised, the room grew only a little livelier. What could break the hush: steam radiators can knock and hiss as the building heat comes up, pool and garden voices may drift up on summer days, the old sashes likely hold back less than modern glass, and a six story building is proposed next door, likely on the lot beside the parking court, so construction could arrive during a lease. Inside, the empty plaster rooms and bare oak floors ring with a noticeable echo until rugs and furniture go in, your steps will carry to the neighbor below, and the old range hood is rated loud. Nights and weekends were not heard.

Heating and cooling

Recorded finding · Not observed in the recording

No air conditioning or ceiling fans on a top floor

Original 1929 era plug fuse panel with a 25 amp fuse in one position

  • The only panel seen is an A.G. Manufacturing Co. plug fuse panelboard in the walk in closet. Positions hold a Buss Tron 25 A time delay fuse, screw in Mini Breakers of 20 A and 15 A and a white plug; two sockets are empty. No Type S adapters were seen. A 25 A plug fuse is oversized for typical 15 A household wiring unless the circuit was rewired heavier.

    Read in the sourceTour reference 1 · Tour reference 2 · Tour reference 3 · Research source 1 · Research source 2

Why it may matter: Limited capacity and a possible overfusing hazard; old wiring may run hot before the fuse opens.

Ask the manager: Have an electrician confirm the wire size on each circuit and fit Type S adapters; is a panel upgrade planned?

Recorded finding · Inference

About four branch circuits for the whole unit

  • Four occupied plug positions (two empty) serve the kitchen appliances, lights and receptacles of a large one bedroom, unless more circuits come from a panel not seen.

    Inference. Recorded confidence 50%Tour reference 1

Why it may matter: Running a space heater, portable air conditioner, dishwasher and microwave at once may trip a Mini Breaker or blow the fuse.

Not covered: the unit number, the elevator and stairs, the outside of the building and the street, the laundry room, running water, any appliance or the heat switched on, and the freezer interior.
