The story
First time on the market in over 25 years. Set behind mature trees and lush landscaping, 1611 S Bonnie Brae Street offers a rare opportunity to own a two-story single-family residence within a quiet, gated residential compound near the heart of Los Angeles. Originally built in 1903, the home spans approximately 1,378 square feet and features a four-bedroom, two-bathroom layout across two levels. The configuration provides a strong foundation for an owner-occupant seeking a character-rich home with room to personalize, adapt, and restore over time. The property is accessed via a shared, gated driveway serving a small collection of neighboring homes, creating a private, compound-like environment that feels removed from the surrounding city while remaining centrally located. On-site parking is provided through this secure driveway.
