More Insights

Built in 1924 (102 years old).
Condition: This property, built in 1924, explicitly states it 'requires substantial renovation to its systems and structure.' The images confirm this, showing severe peeling paint, water damage, and holes in ceilings throughout. The kitchen and bathrooms are extremely outdated with original, worn fixtures, old tiling, and likely non-functional appliances, indicating major system replacements are needed. While it has architectural significance, its current state is far from livable without extensive rehabilitation, aligning with the 'poor' condition criteria.

About this home

This grand Spanish Colonial Revival in coveted Country Club Park awaits a true visionary ready to restore it to its former splendor. Designed by notable 1920s female architect Anna C. Geck, who was responsible for many similar residences throughout Los Angeles and Orange Counties, the home reflects the elegance and craftsmanship of its era. Much of the original character remains intact, including vintage tile surrounding the fireplace, graceful arched windows, original hardwood floors, and many period light fixtures. The main level offers expansive formal living and dining rooms, a front parlor that may have originally served as two bedrooms, a kitchen with adjacent breakfast room, and a small bedroom and bath that once functioned as maid’s quarters. Upstairs, four generously sized bedrooms are served by two classic Jack-and-Jill bathrooms. At the rear of the property sits a detached one-bedroom, one-bath guest house of approximately 658 square feet, along with a three-car garage. Located within a Historic Preservation Overlay Zone, this property requires substantial renovation to its systems and structure, presenting a rare and meaningful opportunity to thoughtfully revive a significant architectural gem.
