5010 Elmwood Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90004

This mid-century home — with its full architectural character intact, as well as the space and structure to support meaningful enhancements — stands out, even among its surroundings in the blossoming Larchmont neighborhood and the nearby Hollywood and Hancock Park. The main entrance gives way to a welcoming, open living area, filled with skylight from a vaulted ceiling held up iconic, sturdy beams. Behind the original fireplace is the kitchen, with ample counter and cabinet space, connected to a cozy dining area. The house has three bedrooms in total. A comfortable master bedroom sits on the second floor, alongside an en suite bathroom and a walk-in closet, all roomy enough to even accommodate a second walk-in closet. Back on the main floor, just off the living area are the other two bedrooms, a guest bathroom, and a converted patio — a wide array of functional spaces seamlessly woven together, maintaining the home’s classic, showcase aesthetic throughout the indoor areas. It all opens to a side yard, and then to a larger backyard that is at once tranquil and primed for hosting outdoor gatherings or terrace-style dining, with room for a pool or an outdoor kitchen. Beneath the kitchen is a two-car garage that could become something more — complete detailed plans for an ADU and auxiliary expansion will be provided at sale to the home’s next owner. Located just minutes from Larchmont Village and its lauded collection of hip eateries, cafes, and shops, other institutions such as Wilshire Country Club and the Paramount Pictures Studio, and top-notch schools, including Page Academy and Marlborough School, the home serves as a gateway to the best that Los Angeles has to offer.
