1338 S. Sierra Bonita Avenue

Set behind mature landscaping in Wilshire Vista, this 1930 Spanish has the kind of original character that is getting harder and harder to find. Barrel ceilings, original built-ins and classic arches give the home its personality, while thoughtful updates have made it comfortable for how we actually live today without losing the character that makes it special. The main house offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with bright, inviting living and dining spaces and an easy flow throughout. A huge part of what makes this property special is what happens outside. The backyard feels private and genuinely usable, with multiple places to gather, dine or just hang out, along with a wet bar, water feature and mature greenery that make the space feel like its own little retreat. At the back of the property is a detached guest house with a full bathroom, making it a truly useful separate space for guests, working from home, a studio, creative space or just somewhere to retreat. A car charger adds a practical modern convenience while the home still keeps the details and personality that give it its sense of place. All of this in a central Los Angeles location close to Museum Row, LACMA, The Grove, great restaurants and everything that makes this part of the city so easy to enjoy. It’s a house with a lot of personality, a surprisingly great amount of usable space, and a backyard you’ll actually want to spend time in.
