Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1925, this property is described as 'lovingly maintained' but retains vintage features such as original tile and cedar paneling. While functional and preserved under the Mills Act, the lack of recent major renovations to the kitchen, bathrooms, and systems (HVAC/Electric) over the last 20+ years classifies it as dated and in need of modern updates.
The property qualifies for the Mills Act program, offering the buyer substantial and ongoing property tax reductions, which is a significant financial incentive for a historic home in Los Angeles.
This rare 1925 brick Colonial features a spacious 5-bedroom layout with grand entertaining spaces, including an enormous living room and a large manicured lot, providing a level of character and scale seldom found in the area.
Ideally situated in the Carthay Circle HPOZ, the home is minutes from The Grove, the new Metro D Line extension, and the 'Museum Row' landmarks including LACMA and the Academy Museum.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 5, other record bedroom count = 4.
Being located within a Historic Preservation Overlay Zone means any exterior modifications or additions are subject to strict city guidelines, which may limit a buyer's ability to customize the property's facade.
While lovingly maintained, the mention of carpeting over hardwood and vintage tiling suggests the interior may require significant capital investment to update the kitchen and bathrooms to modern luxury standards.
This majestic brick Colonial is a rare find in the wonderful HPOZ neighborhood of Carthay Circle. This property has been lovingly maintained for decades and offers 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms (including two en-suites), and substantial, ongoing property tax reductions through the Mills Act program. Upon entering, you are welcomed by a large foyer and an elegant staircase. The enormous living area was famous for hosting "Music and Wine on Warner" events for more than 40 guests to enjoy chamber music. In fact, a concert pianist previously resided here, and the carpeting over the beautiful hardwood flooring was specifically chosen to enhance sound quality. The elegant dining room is flooded with natural light and leads to a dining nook, the kitchen, and a back staircase to the second floor. A guest room with a full bath is also conveniently located on the first level. Upstairs, the remaining 4 bedrooms are separated by West and East landings. The East landing leads to the primary bedroom, which features a walk-in closet and a sizable en-suite, as well as an additional bedroom perfect for a nursery or guest room. The West landing hosts a large bedroom with an incredible vintage tiled shared en-suite, and another bedroom featuring cedar panel walls and backyard views. French doors from the living room lead to a large manicured yard with citrus trees, tall hedges, and a rose garden. The property also includes a detached garage with vaulted ceilings and on the property one could easily park 4+ cars. Ideally situated near The Grove and the Metro D Line Extension, this home places you minutes from the new David Geffen Galleries at LACMA, the Academy Museum, the Petersen Automotive Museum, and excellent dining options.
