1823 Courtney Ave

The Desmond House, c .1923 - by renowned architects F. Pierpont Davis and Walter S. Davis (known for the iconic local landmarks Villa D'este and Roman Gardens and many impressive public buildings throughout LA) - is a true Hollywood treasure. In the loving hands of one family for nearly 60 years, and with only 4 owners since its inception, it is now ready for its next stewards. With an impressive facade and period details like arched doorways and wrought iron gates and railings still intact, this house will captivate you at first sight. The breathtaking living room opens to a delightful patio and yard - suitable for al fresco dining and evenings under the stars. 3 bedrooms, separate WFH studio and 2.5 baths. The ample lot features a majestic persimmon tree and mature fruit trees. Kitchen and bathrooms have been updated over the years and the house has been lovingly and carefully maintained. A rare opportunity to live in a historical architectural jewel.
