3121 west 3rd street

A truly one-of-a-kind home in the heart of Korea-town, offering an incredible amount of character, craftsmanship, and functionality within its compact footprint. This unique 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence features 9-foot ceilings on both levels, abundant built-ins and storage, and a rare attached 2-car garage with an impressive 14-foot sectional door. Lovingly owned for the past 20 years by a Hollywood studio carpenter, the home showcases custom woodwork throughout, including handmade moldings, cabinetry, refinished doors, updated hardware, and a gas fireplace. The remodeled kitchen features custom cabinetry, granite and butcher-block countertops, stainless steel appliances, a GE Caf 5-burner gas range, and Bosch dishwasher. Additional highlights include original wide-plank oak flooring upstairs, a charming winding staircase, wood blinds, and a security system. Originally built in 1948 by a civil engineer, the home features substantial construction with 2x12 floor and roof joists on 12-inch centers. The sewer line was rebuilt in 2019. Small in footprint but remarkably big in personality, this is a rare opportunity to own a distinctive single-family home with a 2-car garage in the heart of Los Angeles.
