1845 ARMACOST AVE

Paradiso Perduto - Evolving over 7 decades under the ownership of one family, this "lost paradise" had been enhanced, enclosed, expanded, enamored and thoroughly enjoyed but now needs a new caretaker to revitalize its journey and create its next legacy. Once a sprawling and uniquely beautiful multi-structure compound enveloped by verdant gardens, specimen shrubs, and citrus trees, this blank canvas with outstanding bones affords the savvy designer, developer, end-user, or flipper, an unparalleled opportunity to restore or reimagine this phenomenal fixer into West LA's newest trophy property. Set upon an extra wide 53' mid-block R1-zoned lot measuring 7309 square feet (per assessor), the main home features generous room sizing and remnants of aged grandeur include a stone fireplace with marble hearth, the crystal chandelier in the formal dining room, multiple sliding glass doors that open up to quaint private patios, enlarged closets, and a tankless water heater along with central forced air heating; out back, an expansive wood deck leads to the detached garage/office/pavilion punctuated by a double height beamed ceiling that could become the most envious ADU (check with city) which overlooks the free-form pool and spa trimmed in polished pebble hardscape, completing this promising package. Unsurprisingly, with neighborhood houses selling for as much as $3.270mm, this is the least expensive home North of Olympic and West of the 405 because it is thoughtfully priced at land value and is being offered "as-is" with no repairs or credits. Those who dream in color may want to explore for themselves this diamond in the rough superbly situated in a prized location only minutes to the Expo Line, Brentwood, Santa Monica, Riot Games, Google, and the nearly finished West Edge mixed-use complex at Bundy & Olympic anchored by Gelson's supermarket. La vita e bella!
