Description
Welcome home to this masterfully preserved piece of Los Angeles history with this 1909 Craftsman estate, originally restored by the acclaimed historical architect Martin Weil. This property offers a rare combination of early 20th-century artistry and high-end modern upgrades, functioning as a legal duplex with two distinct living spaces. The primary home features 4 spacious bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms across 2,761 square feet of refined living space. The interior is a showcase of artisanal heritage, featuring rich, intricate Douglas Fir built-ins, wainscoting, and restored period light fixtures. A signature Batchelder fireplace serves as the centerpiece of the living room, complemented by beamed ceilings in the formal dining room. The thoughtfully updated kitchen boasts granite countertops, a prep sink, and a refurbished 6-burner O'Keefe & Merritt range. A comprehensive renovation in 2004 ensured the home's longevity, including seismic retrofitting, copper plumbing, updated electrical systems, dual-zone HVAC, and a newer roof. The property includes a modern, detached ADU built in 2017, located above the garage. Featuring its own separate address, it is ideal for multi-generational living or as a high-value rental unit. This bright studio is outfitted with premium amenities, including a kitchenette featuring a Bosch oven and fridge and a Fisher Paykel dish drawer, along with a Miele washer/dryer, and a 3/4 bathroom. Perfect for cinema enthusiasts, the space is wired for surround sound with a projector to create a cinematic screening room with up to a 100" display on the wall. Outside, the space offers an expansive balcony, custom raised garden beds, and a dedicated in-ground planting area, an absolute haven for those with a green thumb. The estate is further enhanced by fully owned solar panels and a built-in EV charging station. Ideally situated in a high-demand pocket of Los Angeles, this home offers unparalleled access to the city's best, just minutes from The Grove, the Original Farmers Market, and premier retail corridors. Located near the heart of popular Koreatown, the home provides easy access to world-class culinary experiences and vibrant nightlife, serving as a truly central hub with short commutes to Downtown LA, Beverly Hills, and Hollywood. This exceptional property is more than just a home; it is a meticulously maintained legacy estate in the Heart of LA. Don't miss this rare opportunity and schedule a tour today!
