3117 Stanford Ave Los Angeles, CA 90292

For the first time ever on the market, welcome to 3117 Stanford Avenue. Built more than 100 years ago by the same family that owns it today, this character-rich compound offers a combination of charm, flexibility and thoughtful stewardship that you may not find again in the coveted Oxford Triangle. At the front sits the original 1,151-square-foot, two-bedroom, one-bath Spanish home with undeniable curb appeal. It begins with its covered front porch and carries its history inside through an oak front door recreated to honor the original design, beautifully restored woodwork and trim, and original hardwood floors. Improvements over the years were made with the same philosophy: preserve what makes the home special while modernizing what matters. The kitchen was completely renovated, the bathroom rebuilt from the studs, and the bedrooms extensively remodeled and insulated, while major improvements were made to the electrical, roof, foundation, windows and other important systems. Beyond the main home, a brick courtyard and pergola create a private outdoor centerpiece connecting the front residence to the versatile collection of spaces in the rear. There you'll find a detached two-car garage with alley access. Adjoining it, and not included in the listed square footage, is an additional 360-square-foot bonus studio with a bathroom and kitchenette, ready for whatever your heart desires. Upstairs is what truly separates this property from the rest: a permitted 818-square-foot, two-bedroom, one-bath unit with its own kitchen and living room. Like the main residence, the rear spaces have all benefited from years of meaningful investment and care, with substantial upgrades made throughout. Tucked quietly on the south side of Stanford Avenue, this is the best of what the Oxford Triangle has to offer: privacy and tranquility at home, yet minutes from everything you come to Venice and Marina del Rey to enjoy. Abbot Kinney Boulevard, the Venice Canals, the Marina, Marina Beach and the ocean are all close enough to make walking or hopping on a bike part of everyday life. Restaurants, shops, the water, and the energy of the Westside are right there when you want them, while home still feels calm and removed from it all. If you're tired of choosing between location, character, versatility, and peace of mind, 3117 Stanford is your chance to have it all.
