More Insights

Built in 1939 (87 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1939, this property has undergone extensive recent renovations, including a new roof, new windows, copper plumbing, an updated electrical panel, a new sewer line, and a fully updated bathroom. The refinished hardwood floors and fresh paint contribute to a move-in ready condition. While the kitchen features updated cabinets and flooring, the appliances are older white models and the countertops are laminate, preventing an 'Excellent' rating. However, the significant system upgrades and modern bathroom place it firmly in the 'Good' category, requiring no immediate major renovations.

About this home

House-hack your way into Los Angeles homeownership in Gramercy Park. This move-in-ready single-family home for sale in Los Angeles offers rare flexibility for buyers looking to live in one space while generating income from the current permitted flex-space with separate entrance for your creative studio or home office, all on a flat 6,000+ sq ft lot with future ADU potential. The remodeled 3-bedroom, 1-bath main house has major upgrades—new roof, new windows, copper plumbing, updated electrical panel, new sewer line to the street, updated bathroom, and new garage door and opener to help reduce your upfront and long-term ownership costs. Inside, the home blends modern comfort with original charm, featuring refinished hardwood floors, a fireplace, raised ceilings, sliding barn doors, and a large bay window with abundant natural light. Unique architectural details like the interior mail slot, vintage milk door, and built-in “phonebook desk” give the home personality while preserving its classic appeal. The large, flat lot offers excellent ADU or expansion potential (buyer to verify), allowing future owners to scale rental income while maintaining privacy and a backyard. Many nearby properties have added units without altering the traditional single-family frontage or generous setback from the street. Additional features include tandem driveway parking for 3–4 vehicles, a quiet semi-cul-de-sac with minimal traffic, and close proximity to St. Andrews Park and Recreation Center. Located just over one mile from SoFi Stadium, Kia Forum, and Intuit Dome, this property benefits from strong rental demand, freeway access, and long-term appreciation in a growing Los Angeles neighborhood. Ideal for house hackers, owner-occupants, and savvy buyers seeking both lifestyle and income in one of Los Angeles’ most dynamic markets. ?? Curious about the “phonebook desk”?
