Significant capital improvements completed since 2020—including a new roof, central HVAC, copper plumbing, upgraded electrical, and a replaced sewer line—provide the security of modern infrastructure within a vintage aesthetic.
Situated in the heart of Beverly Grove, the home boasts an 'A+' walkability rating with immediate proximity to The Grove, Pan Pacific Park, and world-class dining like Osteria Mozza.
With a list price of $2.15M for 1,650 square feet, the property sits at a high price-per-foot premium, which may be a deterrent for buyers seeking more interior volume.
Because the total square footage is divided among three separate structures, the individual rooms in the main house may feel compact and lack the expansive open-concept feel found in newer builds.
