About This Home
Step into timeless elegance with this rare 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom residence in one of Koreatown's iconic historic buildings. This huge, single-level condo offers the grandeur of a Manhattan classic 6, but with 3-full-sized bedrooms in the heart of Los Angeles. Bathed in natural light from 19 double-hung windows across all 3 exposures, this expansive corner unit offers sweeping urban views with lush green treetops and a peekaboo view of downtown. Soaring 9-foot, architecturally detailed ceilings crown the generously proportioned rooms, giving the space a refined, yet inviting feel. Each bedroom is complete with en-suite bath and walk-in closet. The designer kitchen features a Miele gas range and dishwasher and a built-in Sub-Zero refrigerator. Bathrooms are appointed with polished nickel fixtures and vintage hex, penny-round, and subway tilework: one includes a beautifully restored cast-iron clawfoot tub. The unit has been thoughtfully preserved, keeping the original hardwood floors, restored vintage lighting, and gas fireplace. With 8 closets (including 4 walk-ins plus a walk-in pantry and additional upstairs storage unit) this home offers exceptional storage rarely found in city living. And while you are right in the heart of Koreatown, you are surrounded by both buildings and lush green tree tops. While it's walking distance to many of Koreatown's highlights and the MTA subway stations along Wilshire, the unit also comes with three secured parking spaces. Luxury, history, and location converge in this exceptional Koreatown gem.
