More Insights

Built in 1933 (92 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1933, presents a mixed condition. The kitchen has been recently and tastefully remodeled with modern stainless steel appliances, a farmhouse sink, white shaker cabinets, and updated lighting, placing it in excellent condition. Major systems like the HVAC (with Nest control) and the roof have also been upgraded. However, the description explicitly states that 'two original tiled bathrooms remain virtually untouched,' which is evident in the vintage pink and black tiled bathroom shown in the images. These bathrooms, while functional, are significantly outdated in style and features, requiring substantial updates to meet current standards. The overall condition is therefore 'Fair' as it is move-in ready but requires significant renovation in key areas (bathrooms) despite other recent improvements.

About this home

Timeless Spanish Colonial Revival with Authentic Character, Pool, and Prime Location. Step into a bygone era of Los Angeles architecture at 160 S Poinsettia Place, an unspoiled 1930s Spanish Colonial Revival residence nestled in the heart of Miracle Mile's Historic Preservation Overlay Zone. This soulful 4-bedroom, 3-bath home embraces original character with lovingly preserved vintage details, offering the rare opportunity to move in and enjoy now or thoughtfully improve over time. Beyond the arched front gate, a sun-drenched private courtyard leads you to an entry adorned with hand-painted tiles. Inside, classic elements shine: a step-down living room with beamed ceilings, a cozy decorative fireplace, and a gorgeous historic stained glass west facing window. Gleaming hardwood floors throughout. The formal dining room is ideal for gatherings, while the current and remodeled kitchen with an open breakfast room, has been updated with stainless appliances, a built-in wine fridge, generous pantry, and an adjacent full laundry room. Upstairs, three bedrooms bask in natural light from south, west, and eastern exposures. Two original tiled bathrooms remain virtually untouched offering charm and authenticity that discerning vintage home enthusiasts will cherish. The downstairs features a guest bedroom, an additional home office with no closet but potentially yet another bedroom, and third bath perfect for flexible living arrangements. Out back, discover a resort-like setting with a sprawling 7,957 sq ft lot, lush landscaping, and a striking, Hollywood-scale pool framed in Spanish tile and crowned with a waterfall. Entertain year-round beneath the covered patio with its original built-in outdoor fireplace and grill. The detached garage and adjacent changing cabanas add to the home's period allure, with long gated driveway parking for up to seven vehicles. Additional features include upgraded central HVAC with Nest control, and potential for ADU development (buyer to verify). New roof curated using the original tiles where available. All just moments from The Grove, Erewhon, El Coyote restaurant, Pan Pacific Park, and LA's culinary and design corridor on Beverly Blvd. A rare find for those who dream of old-world charm, layered history, and the elegance of true Spanish architecture. No public open houses. Please feel free to make an appointment to preview. No sign on property.
