About this residence

Your very own castle in the heart of Koreatown? Believe it. Tucked inside a beautiful Tudor-style courtyard building, this nearly 1,700-square-foot townhouse condo feels like something out of a storybook. Steeply pitched rooflines, charming architectural details, and a private entrance set the scene for a home that's anything but ordinary. Step inside and discover original hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, beautiful crown molding, and a decorative fireplace framed by vintage millwork. Sunlight streams through premium shutters, filling the spacious living room with warmth. There's plenty of room to entertain, spread out, or simply enjoy having a proper living room with room to spare! A separate formal dining room adds another touch of old-world charm, while the kitchen brings together vintage character and modern convenience with a farmhouse sink, stainless steel appliances, and plenty of personality. The bathroom continues the architectural love affair with classic subway tile, hexagonal floors, and an arched shower. You'll also find a conveniently tucked-away washer and dryer nearby. The spacious bedroom is lovely in its own right, but the real crown jewel awaits upstairs! Climb up to a tucked-away bonus den beneath a dramatic pitched gable, a magical hideaway perfect for an artist's studio, writing retreat, yoga space, or whatever your imagination dreams up. There's even a walk-in closet and a powder room with views overlooking the neighboring Spanish tile rooftops. A secret tower of your very own! (The upstairs loft has a mini-split for heating and cooling, while the main level enjoys central heat and AC.)And while this home might feel like it's been plucked from another century, you're very much in the heart of the city. Just around the corner, you'll find Quarters KBBQ, FrankieLucy Bakeshop, and MDK Noodles. Grab a matcha at Alchemist Coffee, browse Koreatown Plaza, or make an evening of it at Taylor's Steakhouse, Cafe Figaro, or the cocktail spots around Chapman Plaza. Even the Koreatown branch library is just a few blocks away, because what castle is complete without a good collection of books?A private entrance, your own single-car garage, and nearly 1,700 square feet of architectural charm. Homes with this much character don't come along every day, especially in the middle of LA.
