About this House

Charming Spanish Duplex in Historic Carthay Square

In the heart of historic Carthay Square, this 1925 Spanish duplex combines timeless character with modern comfort.
The upper unit has 1,326 square feet of bright, airy space, with two bedrooms and a private bathroom. The very spacious living room and formal dining room shine with original hardwood floors, while newly installed carpeting brings warmth to the bedrooms. Charming period touches like crown moldings and high coved ceilings add a bit of magic to the whole place.
Central AC keeps things comfortable year-round, and there's a cozy breakfast nook that's perfect for morning coffee or even a home office setup. The kitchen comes fully loaded with a stove, fridge, dishwasher, and microwave, and there's a separate laundry room with a modern washer and dryer.
Outside, a peaceful backyard awaits, ideal for relaxing and gardening in a safe fenced and gated space. Yes, pets are welcome (with a security deposit).
For parking, there's a detached garage with a remote opener and an extra spot in the driveway.
Location-wise, you couldn't be better positioned. You're just minutes from The Grove, Downtown, Century City, the Westside, UCLA, Cedars-Sinai, and close to the 10 freeway great for commuting.
