225 S Ardmore AVE Los Angeles, CA 90004

Arguably, the best thing about Los Angeles is that you can live in a piece of history, and this 1914 Craftsman proves it. A home of grand proportions, it offers 2,352 square feet of quiet luxury right in the heart of Mid-Wilshire. This is exactly what your parents meant when they said, "they don't make them like this anymore." Perfectly sandwiched between Larchmont Village and Koreatown, this phenomenal home has been lovingly restored to its former glory. The current owners purchased it with dreams of living here long-term, and they poured their hearts into every inch of the renovation. Life, however, has other plans. Europe is calling, so now you get to enjoy the rewards of their vision and dedication. The restoration prioritized one thing: honoring the integrity of the Craftsman details. Original hardwood floors. A 1914 fold-out ironing board that doubles as a conversation piece. Gorgeous stained-glass windows that filter the light just right. A statement banister that greets you at the foot of the stairs, and a butler's pantry with a second fridge. While most of us don't have butlers, who wouldn't want that extra fridge? Of course, original character only gets you so far. Behind the charm, every system has been modernized for 2025 standards and beyond: PEX plumbing, dual-zone A/C, a new roof, tankless water heater, fresh insulation, and even an EV charger for your car. Comfort meets character at every turn. If you're a history buff or simply someone who wants a stellar home at a great price, you'll fall for this one the moment you walk in. A home with this much soul doesn't come around often.
