Property Detail

Description

Enchanting 1930s French Normandy condo - they simply don't build them like this anymore! Tucked behind gates and set far back from the street, you'll arrive through a lush central courtyard complete with a front lawn, prolific lemon tree, and charming shared outdoor dining area. Nestled within the heart of this charming 16-unit French Normandy building, this generously proportioned first-floor residence is filled with natural light and timeless character. The gracious living room is anchored by a magnificent original decorative fireplace and showcases ornate crown molding, beautiful hardwood floors, a freshly painted interior, and a sun-filled bay window framing picturesque views of the verdant central courtyard. Just beyond, the formal dining room flows seamlessly into a truly captivating vintage kitchen brimming with character. Thoughtfully refreshed with classic black-and-white checkerboard floors, warm raw wood cabinetry, cheerful yellow tile, and a beautifully preserved matching vintage stove, the space is equal parts nostalgic, functional, and undeniably charming. The spacious sunlit bedroom easily accommodates a king-size bed, while the beautifully preserved mauve-pink vintage bathroom is a rare design treasure, rich with original charm and timeless appeal. Thoughtful updates include fresh paint, new wall sconces, several beautiful period light fixtures, central heat, and a dedicated in-unit laundry room. Additional highlights include basement storage, a private one-car garage, and sweeping downtown views from the shared rooftop. Ideally located with easy access to DTLA and Koreatown, this one-of-a-kind residence offers an irresistible blend of architectural character, vintage soul, and everyday livability.
