About this property
New Co-Ownership Opportunity: On a quiet street just off Melrose in Hancock Park, only four of ten units remain in this rare and picturesque designated Historic-Cultural Monument bungalow court. Currently under restoration, this 1926 Spanish two-story TIC has been revived with an eye for detail, highlighting heritage charm with refurbished original wood floors, hand-painted Mexican mosaic tiles, and recessed lighting. Expansive windows gather sunlight into the spacious living and dining area, where a decorative fireplace anchors the vintage-inspired design. The newly renovated kitchen is tailored for design-savvy cooks, with matte zellige backsplash, hand-painted cabinetry, and a KitchenAid suite with wine fridge. Upstairs, both bedrooms get great light, and the bath is exquisitely redone with high-end fixtures. Systems have been updated including electrical, plumbing, windows, roofing, and foundation work. Native California flora wraps the home; updated amenities include smart lighting, AC/heat, and parking. Close to The Grove, Tartine, HEIMAT, and WeHo favorites.
