Rare opportunity to own a large victorian home in Los Angeles minutes from the heart of downtown built by John C. Austin, architect for the Shrine Auditorium and Griffith Observatory. This home features a generous foyer, a beautiful original wood staircase, and tons of historical charm. On the ground floor from the large covered front porch you enter into the generous foyer with a grand staircase, off the foyer are the formal living room, formal dining room (currently an office) with its original fireplace, and a second living room with an ornate fireplace (currently used as a dining room). down the center hall is the Kitchen, Utility/laundry room, two bathrooms, a large ground-floor bedroom, and an additional storage room with a separate entrance that could have many uses. There is another small room just off the back porch that has also been used for storage. at the top of the grand staircase is a spacious landing with large windows and access to the five second-floor bedrooms and one bathroom. From the second floor, you can access the huge finished attic space and attic bathroom up the second staircase (the attic is roughly 700 sqft with vaulted ceilings over 14 feet at the highest point and is not included in square footage). At the back of the property, you find a huge driveway ideal for guest parking as well as a separate mother-in-law suite with its own entrance. Roof, plumbing, sewer line, and water heater were replaced in 2019. Home needs some cosmetic fixes but with a little work it can truly shine again- absolutely must-see to appreciate. Zoned R3 for potential multi-unit build.
