Property Description

Oh WOW, what a gem! This diamond in the rough is what you have been waiting for! The home is located in the Historical Property Overly Zone (HPOZ) of South Carthay. The area is only minutes to Museums along Wilshire Blvd and world class shopping and dining at The Grove outdoor shopping plaza. This property was the residence of famed architect and developer Spiros G. Ponty. Ponty was architect for portions of South Carthay and completed homes in the Spanish Revival theme. It is no surprise that the personal residence of Ponty has one of the largest lots in the area at over 8,000 square feet. The property itself is MILLS ACT compliant. The home boasts a walled courtyard, covered patio within the courtyard with fireplace, terra cotta colored tile flooring, hardwood floors throughout, a breakfast room, formal dining area, sunken living room, fireplace, a "stepped rectangular pattern" recessed ceiling in the main bathroom (a unique hallmark of the Ponty designs), a cantilevered sink/counter in the main bathroom, coved ceilings in the dining area and arches throughout the home. Additionally, the property includes granite counter tops, maple cabinets, indoor laundry and iron decorative accents throughout the property. Finally, there is central air & heat, a newer roof, stainless appliances are included, a cooks stove and French doors leading to the backyard from the primary bedroom. You may be wondering...what's the catch since homes in this area sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars more?! The home is in need of TLC and a visionary buyer or investor to breath new life into this lovely home. A little sweat equity will go a long way. Bring your paint brush, roll up your sleeves and lets generate some equity! By now, you are probably thinking, this home is not going to last! Well, you would be correct. Don't wait, call today for a private showing and tour of this residence. (ADDITIONAL PHOTOS to follow - check back regularly)
