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 5 spacious bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms across 2,604 sq ft 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 (785 SF), 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.

"I worked with Ever through the process of an Estate Sale and sale of a condominium. Throughout the experience he and his team were extremely helpful. I had never been involved with an estate sale previously and was working with the additional factor of not being local. After an initial meeting I was able to deal with he and his team remotely which simplified the entire process and experience. Any questions or issues I had were very quickly addressed and resolved. My entire experience was very positive. Thank You!"

"Ever was simply excellent. He is thorough, approachable and very knowledgable of the house buying process. We appreciated his manner and help throughout our purchase process - he never made us feel pressured to select a house and helped us find a perfect match. He was especially helpful when we needed to juggle urgent travel during the Escrow process, helping us set up power of attorney. We would recommend Ever to any type of buyer and will certainly use him for any future real estate needs that we have."
