About This Home

Tucked into one of Los Angeles’ most beloved neighborhoods, the recently designated Ridgewood Place Residential Historic District, this enchanting original 1919 Craftsman, designed by noted architect Frank M Taylor, is a rare opportunity to restore and reimagine a true piece of Los Angeles architectural history. Rich with character and original detail, the residence retains the warmth, artistry, and craftsmanship of its era, from the welcoming front porch, clapboard siding, leaded-glass entry door, and period hardware to the wide baseboards, crown molding, decorative pediments, archways, and classic wood-burning fireplace. Inside, charming vintage details abound, including wide baseboards, decorative window and door pediments, crown molding, graceful archways, and rich hardwood floors. The core of the home is the formal living and dining room, with decorative alcove, and a charming library with built in shelving. There are 5 bedrooms in the home, 2 upstairs, one of which is en-suite and the other with a private balcony, and 3 downstairs, one of which is en-suite. The other 3 rooms share 2 baths, 1 upstairs and 1 down. The floorplan offers flexibility of use allowing the spaces to function in a variety of ways, whether as traditional bedrooms, a home office, den, breakfast room, or other living areas to suit evolving needs. Completing the home is a delightful “grandma’s attic,” a wide pitched-ceiling space ideal for a playroom, office, studio, or creative retreat. Outside, there is a dedicated, detached laundry room, a fenced, private yard, and a detached garage which presents possible ADU conversion potential for multigenerational living, guest quarters, or future income. The home has vintage appeal and exceptional bones which with meaningful work and TLC could be ready for its next chapter. Wonderfully situated just minutes from the heart of the renowned dining, boutique shopping, and cultural amenities in Larchmont, and near the excitement and appeal of Los Angeles’ varied communities.
