Property Description
Proudly standing as a living piece of Los Angeles history, this remarkable 1911 Craftsman bungalow offers a rare opportunity to own one of Highland Park's enduring architectural treasures. Originally commissioned by the Los Angeles College of the Order of Jesuits - today known as Loyola Marymount University - as one of a small collection of structures along Avenue 52 that formed part of its earliest campus, the home has quietly witnessed more than a century of the neighborhood's remarkable evolution.

The primary bedroom is further distinguished by an exceptionally generous walk-in closet, an uncommon luxury in homes of this vintage. Designed as an extension of the living spaces, the expansive backyard offers multiple areas for entertaining, dining, and quiet retreat. Mature landscaping creates a private sanctuary equally suited for intimate evenings beneath cafe lights or lively gatherings with friends and neighbors. While rich in period character, the home has been thoughtfully updated for contemporary living with amenities including central air conditioning and a newer sewer line, allowing its next steward t
