About this home

Welcome home to a beautifully preserved Mediterranean duplex filled with warmth, character, and timeless Los Angeles charm. Tucked just around the corner from the shops, restaurants, and everyday conveniences of La Brea Blvd., this spacious lower unit offers an inviting blend of original architectural details and comfortable modern living. Step inside and you're greeted by beautifully refinished original hardwood floors and an abundance of natural light. The step-down living room feels especially welcoming, with a decorative fireplace, beamed ceiling, and original French doors that bring the outdoors in. Just beyond the living room, the generous dining room provides plenty of space for dinners and entertaining, while also offering the flexibility to serve as a family room or gathering space. The charming eat-in kitchen combines vintage 1960s style with everyday convenience, featuring new appliances, generous counter space, plenty of storage, and a separate laundry room. The home offers three spacious bedrooms, each filled with beautiful period details including original plasterwork, wall sconces, and classic door hardware. Two bedrooms feature their own adjoining dressing rooms, adding a touch of old-Hollywood character and plenty of extra space for getting ready or simply staying organized. The larger of the two bathrooms is a beautiful example of the home's original craftsmanship, with stunning vintage tile preserved in pristine condition, along with a separate tub and shower. The second bathroom has been thoughtfully remodeled with a modern walk-in shower. Outside, a shared garden creates a lovely little retreat for enjoying a leisurely breakfast, dining al fresco, reading a book, or simply soaking up the Southern California sunshine. A covered parking space is included, with plenty of additional street parking available. With its generous rooms, original craftsmanship, abundant light, and wonderfully convenient location, this is a home that invites you to slow down, entertain, and enjoy all that classic Los Angeles living has to offer.
