Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1937, this property is nearly 90 years old and retains its original vintage character. While it has been 'refreshed' with new paint, light fixtures, and central heat, the kitchen and bathroom are original/dated (1930s style) rather than renovated. The raw wood cabinetry and mauve-pink tile work, though charming, fall under the 'dated' category requiring updates for modern standards.
This 1930s French Normandy condo boasts exceptional period details, including original hardwood floors, ornate crown molding, a decorative fireplace, and a meticulously preserved vintage kitchen and bathroom.
The property qualifies for a specialized 'Dream Home Program' offering 0% down and a competitive 5.925% interest rate, which, combined with a low $220 HOA fee, provides significant affordability for a 1,067 sqft residence.
The unit offers highly sought-after features for a historic building, including a private one-car garage, in-unit laundry, basement storage, and a shared rooftop with sweeping views of Downtown Los Angeles.
The majority of the assigned public schools in the immediate area carry lower performance ratings, which may be a consideration for long-term resale value or education-focused buyers.
While the unit features central heat, there is no mention of a central cooling system, a common drawback in 1930s buildings that may require additional investment for comfort during summer months.
Enchanting 1930s French Normandy condo - they simply don't build them like this anymore! Tucked behind gates and set far back from the street, you'll arrive through a lush central courtyard complete with a front lawn, prolific lemon tree, and charming shared outdoor dining area. Nestled within the heart of this charming 16-unit French Normandy building, this generously proportioned first-floor residence is filled with natural light and timeless character. The gracious living room is anchored by a magnificent original decorative fireplace and showcases ornate crown molding, beautiful hardwood floors, a freshly painted interior, and a sun-filled bay window framing picturesque views of the verdant central courtyard. Just beyond, the formal dining room flows seamlessly into a truly captivating vintage kitchen brimming with character. Thoughtfully refreshed with classic black-and-white checkerboard floors, warm raw wood cabinetry, cheerful yellow tile, and a beautifully preserved matching vintage stove, the space is equal parts nostalgic, functional, and undeniably charming. The spacious sunlit bedroom easily accommodates a king-size bed, while the beautifully preserved mauve-pink vintage bathroom is a rare design treasure, rich with original charm and timeless appeal. Thoughtful updates include fresh paint, new wall sconces, several beautiful period light fixtures, central heat, and a dedicated in-unit laundry room. Additional highlights include basement storage, a private one-car garage, and sweeping downtown views from the shared rooftop. Ideally located with easy access to DTLA and Koreatown, this one-of-a-kind residence offers an irresistible blend of architectural character, vintage soul, and everyday livability.
