Property Description

Wow, if these walls could talk! One hundred and seventeen years of good, good, good vibrations in this 1908 single story California Bungalow. First time on the market in nearly 50 years! Classic craftsman, sited on a large lot, lushly landscaped with a sophisticated garden design of drought tolerant plantings and decomposed granite walkways. A wrap around porch graces both the front and side of the house inviting indoor/outdoor living from all the public rooms. A coffered ceiling, paneled wainscoting, rich century old oak flooring and a massive stone fireplace greet you as you open the front door. Stepping in to the dining room, 7' wainscoting and original built-ins create a uniquely cocooning and "club-y" vibe. Both bedrooms 1 and 2 have walk-in closets while bedroom 1 features an 8' window seat looking out to the garden. Beautiful original wood windows with detailed patterned muntins are still in place, though sanding and adjustment is in order for many. A large rear yard, accessible from either the service porch off the kitchen, or the french doors opening off the sitting room/(3rd bedroom), invites gathering with friends and family under the shade of a (fruit bearing!) avocado tree. Enviably located in that prime swath of West Adams between Adams and Jefferson, one of THE most dynamic residential and commercial real estate sub-markets (just ask CIM) in all of Los Angeles. That's not hype! That's a fact. Look it up. The R1.5 zoning here adds it's own intriguing possibilities, too. Less than 2 miles to USC Village, only 1/2 mile to the 10 freeway with easy access to the 110 or the 405, Downtown or the Westside. This beauty is certainly in need of some TLC, but after 117 years, who isn't? This is a rare treasure and a golden opportunity. Not to be missed!
