Welcome to this beautifully remodeled studio located on the top floor of a classic historic building, blending vintage charm with modern comfort. The unit features soaring 9-foot ceilings, an open floor plan, original hardwood floors and doors, crown moldings, an Art Deco ceiling, and a separate vanity area. A generously sized closet provides ample storage. The private kitchen offers ample cabinetry, hanging shelves, and a cozy eating area. Enjoy a pleasant view of the courtyard from the living space. The bathroom includes a relaxing soaking tub. Residents benefit from a secure courtyard entrance, elevator access, multiple staircases, and a seismically retrofitted building for added peace of mind. The unbeatable location is just three blocks from the Westlake/MacArthur Park Metro Red Line, with easy access to Downtown LA, LA Live, Crypto.com Arena (formerly Staples Center), FIDM, Loyola Law School, and USC (approximately 1.5 miles away). The HOA covers all utilities except cable and includes community laundry. Exceptional amenities feature a library, piano, billiard and ping-pong tables, bike racks, and an exercise room. There is no on-site parking; however, convenient third-party parking is available nearby, with the closest lot just 900 feet away at 942 S. Alvarado St. Short-term rentals (Airbnb) are not permitted. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a piece of Los Angeles history. Additionally, the building has no balconies, which is an advantage for financed buyers, as it avoids SB 326 inspection requirements and potential related lending concerns.
