Property is moderate renovation needed.
While the home is exceptionally well-maintained and 'lovingly cared for,' it is a 1928 build with kitchen and bathrooms that appear to be 20-30+ years old. The kitchen features dated wood cabinetry and tile countertops, and the bathrooms reflect older renovation styles. It is move-in ready but requires cosmetic updates to meet modern standards.
Built in 1928, this home retains its original charm with a formal living room fireplace, large picture windows, and rich wood flooring, offering a timeless aesthetic that is highly sought after in Los Angeles.
Situated in the desirable Beverly Center-Miracle Mile area, the property features a generous 6,548 sqft lot with an oversized two-car garage and alley access, providing rare space and privacy for the neighborhood.
Held by the same owners since 1978, the property has been lovingly cared for, offering a level of stability and maintenance history that provides peace of mind for prospective buyers.
Given the long-term ownership since the late 1970s, the home likely requires significant cosmetic and system updates to align with contemporary luxury standards and buyer expectations.
While the property has access to some high-rated schools like Third Street Elementary, other assigned local schools have lower ratings, which may be a consideration for education-focused families.
Lovingly cared for by the same owners since 1978, this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath Spanish gem is ready for its next chapter.

The formal living room is anchored by a beautiful fireplace, while a large picture window fills the space with natural light. The thoughtfully designed home features a wrap-around floor plan which connects the bedrooms and bathrooms that leads to the formal dining room. Rich wood flooring enhances the home's inviting atmosphere, and the spacious bungalow lot offers plenty of room to relax, entertain, or simply enjoy the outdoors. Mature succulents create a low-maintenance landscape and the backyard leads to an oversized two-car garage with an entrance on the alley. Ideally located close to shopping, dining, and neighborhood conveniences, this special home is nestled within a welcoming community where neighbors know one another and pride of ownership shines throughout. A place filled with heart, history, and endless possibilities ready to be cherished for years to come.
