Property is new construction or fully renovated.
Although the building dates to 1897, the unit has undergone a high-end architectural renovation. It features a modern bathroom with contemporary fixtures, new kitchen appliances, updated flooring, and custom built-in storage throughout. The inclusion of a private Tesla EV charger and new LG laundry systems indicates that the electrical and functional components are in mint condition and move-in ready.
The property benefits from the Mills Act, offering exceptionally low property taxes of approximately $2,300 per year, providing substantial long-term financial value for the owner.
This loft overcomes typical urban storage limitations with extensive custom built-ins and includes a rare deeded underground parking space equipped with a private Tesla Universal EV charger.
Located in the historic Pan American Building, the residence is steps from Grand Central Market and the LA Music Center, offering a premier urban lifestyle in the heart of DTLA.
The monthly HOA fee of $902.39 is relatively high for a one-bedroom unit, which significantly increases the total monthly carrying cost for the owner.
As a structure dating back to 1897, the property may present challenges related to aging infrastructure and strict preservation guidelines for any future modifications.
