The Edinburgh Bungalows

Description

A rare opportunity to acquire a luxurious, restored 1923 Spanish Revival courtyard complex in the heart of the city perfect for a multi-generational or extended family compound, a buyer seeking guest residences for visiting friends or relatives, a collector of legacy architecture, or even a foundation or institution looking to house visiting fellows, artists, or scholars. The property also offers compelling potential for investors, with high-end finishes, vacant delivery, and flexible use options that make it attractive as both a residence and an income-producing asset.

The historic Edinburgh Bungalow Court is a designated Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument and recipient of the Los Angeles Conservancy's 2023 Preservation Award. The property consists of four structures each with two side-by-side 1BD/1BA residences (approximately 532 sq ft each) arranged around a serene, gated courtyard. Every unit has been luxuriously and thoughtfully restored to showcase period authenticity with modern conveniences: handmade wood windows and doors with wavy glass, lathe-and-plaster walls, light sand-finished ceilings, Claycraft tile, and vintage vertical-grain Douglas fir cabinetry. White oak hardwood flooring runs throughout the living areas, while bathrooms feature classic clawfoot tubs and octagonal tile floors. Kitchens are outfitted with Sub-Zero refrigerators, built-in wood-paneled dishwashers, and vintage, fully restored O'Keefe & Merritt double ovens. Each unit includes its own private laundry room with washer/dryer.

The renovation extends well beyond aesthetics, incorporating major system upgrades and infrastructure improvements throughout. Each unit has its own electrical meter, and all eight benefit from brand-new central air and heating systems. Six garages (with 220V plug for EV charger), two surface parking spaces, and a bonus studio unit near the garages ideal as a shared community room, office, or creative space complete the offering. All units are currently vacant and ready to be leased or occupied immediately.

Located just north of Melrose and west of Fairfax, the property sits in a walkable, design-forward enclave where offerings of this caliber are exceedingly rare. A unique chance to own a fully restored historic property that combines architectural integrity with modern luxury suitable for personal use, income, or long-term legacy.
