The story
High above Marathon Street, with the Hollywood Sign framed right outside the front door, this sun-filled 1926 Spanish home is a quiet oasis in the heart of Virgil Village. Set within a charming six-home community, this one-bedroom, one-bath residence pairs original character with an easy sense of calm. Inside, light pours through dual-pane windows into the long living room, highlighting original hardwood floors and classic coved ceilings, while a papaya tree and lush greenery fill the view just outside. Off the living room, a dedicated office with its own door and floor-to-ceiling built-in bookshelves offers a true second room, whether you need a place to work, create or curl up with a book. The kitchen is full of personality, with the original built-in dining booth, butcher block counters, a farmhouse sink, white shaker cabinetry and terracotta-style tile floors. The bedroom is bright and peaceful, looking out onto bougainvillea in your private backyard, while the bath pairs floor-to-ceiling subway tile with a tub, pedestal sink and gold fixtures. And then there's the backyard. Just off the kitchen, your own private outdoor space features a wood pergola draped in bougainvillea, succulent planters and a raised garden bed, a lovely setting for slow mornings, dinners al fresco or simply enjoying a little corner of Southern California all your own. Ductless mini-splits, in-unit laundry and assigned parking add everyday ease. With Sqirl at the end of the street and Courage Bagels and Budonoki moments away, plus Barnsdall Art Park, Los Feliz and Silver Lake all close by, this is a home with charm, light and a little bit of Hollywood magic.
