Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1924 and not traded since 1997, the home is well-maintained but significantly dated. The kitchen and bathroom feature tile work and cabinetry that appear to be 25-30+ years old. While the original hardwood floors and architectural details are in good condition, the property requires cosmetic updates and likely system modernizations to meet current standards.
This 1924 residence retains its original architectural integrity with features like hardwood floors, crown molding, and built-ins, offering a timeless aesthetic highly sought after in West Los Angeles.
Ideally situated near Century City and Westwood, the property provides exceptional access to major employment hubs, luxury shopping, and dining while maintaining a quiet residential feel.
The home's elevated position above the street enhances privacy, while the substantial side and rear yards offer rare outdoor space for gardening and entertaining in a dense urban area.
With only two bedrooms and a single bathroom for over 1,600 square feet, the current layout may be restrictive for modern families or buyers seeking a primary suite.
Being a trust sale off the market since 1997, the property likely requires significant capital investment to update systems and finishes to meet contemporary luxury standards.
First time on the market since 1997, this trust sale presents a rare opportunity to own a character-filled Spanish-style home in a desirable West Los Angeles neighborhood. Set on a tree-lined street south of Santa Monica Boulevard, 1856 Benecia Ave combines the charm and craftsmanship of its era with remarkably generous interior and outdoor spaces. Inside, original hardwood floors in good condition extend throughout much of the home, complemented by tall ceilings, crown molding, original wood built-ins, and a fireplace in the formal living room. Just off the front entry, a sun-filled office/den creates an inviting and flexible space for working from home, reading, or relaxing. The traditional floor plan continues with a separate formal dining room and dedicated breakfast room, while the spacious bedrooms offer generous closets, including walk-in storage. Original built-in closets and linen cabinetry provide additional storage throughout, and a separate laundry area adds everyday functionality. The tiled bathroom retains its classic layout with both a separate tub and shower stall. The home's elevated position above the street provides a welcome sense of privacy, while the generous side and rear yards create plenty of room to garden, entertain, or simply enjoy the outdoors. Fruit trees add to the property's established character, and a detached single-car garage provides additional parking and storage. Ideally positioned near Century City and Westwood, the home offers convenient access to shopping, dining, entertainment, employment centers, and many of the Westside's everyday destinations while retaining the feel of an established residential neighborhood. With its Spanish character, original architectural details, gracious room sizes, abundant natural light, and substantial outdoor space, this is a special opportunity to preserve what makes the home unique while thoughtfully creating its next chapter.
