Property Description
What a gem! This diamond in the rough is what you have been waiting for! The home is located in the Historical Property Overly Zone (HPOZ) of South Carthay. The area is only minutes to Museums along Wilshire Blvd and world class shopping and dining at The Grove outdoor shopping plaza.

It is no surprise that the personal residence of Ponty has one of the largest lots in the area at over 8,000 square feet. The property itself is MILLS ACT compliant and as a result, receives preferential property tax savings which can benefit the property's new owner thousands of dollars per year (call for details on how you can receive these savings). The home boasts a walled courtyard, covered patio within the courtyard with fireplace, terra cotta colored tile flooring, hardwood floors throughout, a breakfast room, formal dining area, sunken living room, fireplace, a "stepped rectangular pattern" recessed ceiling in the main bathroom (a unique hallmark of the Ponty designs), a cantilevered sink/counter in the main bathroom, coved ceilings in the dining area and arches throughout the home.
