Property Description

Step into a rare offering where timeless elegance meets modern comfort in the heart of Los Angeles coveted West Adams District. This 1935 Spanish Revival residence captures the romance of a bygone era while embracing thoughtful updates designed for today's lifestyle. Behind its classic white stucco facade and terracotta tile roof, accented with soft blue detailing, the home immediately evokes architectural distinction. Arched windows paired with decorative shutters frame the exterior with character, while curved lines and period craftsmanship create an unforgettable first impression. Inside, a bright and airy living room welcomes you with high, textured ceilings and beautifully preserved plaster walls. A sculpted fireplace serves as a striking focal point, anchoring the space with warmth and artistry. New flooring flows seamlessly throughout, enhancing both cohesion and comfort. The remodeled kitchen blends vintage inspiration with modern functionality, featuring thoughtfully designed cabinetry and updated amenities that cater to both everyday living and entertaining. The bathroom continues the home's narrative with tasteful, period-style tilework that honors its heritage while offering contemporary ease. Natural light pours through expansive windows, illuminating every corner and revealing tranquil views of tree-lined streets. A quaint Juliette balcony offers the perfect setting to unwind and enjoy golden California sunsets. Positioned in the vibrant West Adams neighborhood, this residence places you moments from beloved cafes, local boutiques, and cultural landmarks, delivering a lifestyle that is both dynamic and deeply rooted in Los Angeles history. Offered as a TIC (25% undivided interest), this is a distinctive opportunity to own a piece of architectural heritage. The home includes valuable permitted upgrades, including HVAC, electrical improvements, kitchen and bath renovations, a foundation retrofit, roof work, and termite clearance. Flexible financing options, including as little as 10% down with a 30-year fixed structure, further enhance accessibility. This is more than a home; it is a curated living experience where history, style, and opportunity converge.
