The term “Old Hollywood” is usually used to describe red carpet fashion, but it’s also a fitting term to describe the singular style of this 1920s Los Angeles condo. This home is decked out with the kind of architectural features and design details that, much like the movies of that era, will prompt you to say, “They just don’t make ’em like that anymore.”

Details:

  • 6206 Banner Avenue, Unit 1
  • Located in Los Angeles, California
  • $777,000
  • 1,330 square feet
  • 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 1 half bathroom

Things we love about this property crush:

This. Living room. Where to begin? The double-height space with dramatic beams? The sculptural adobe fireplace? The staircase with the landing that overlooks the room? The gigantic skylight? If you buy this condo, part of a 1920s bungalow, it’s pretty clear that this incredible living space will be the designated hangout for your family and friends.

When it comes to kitchens and bathrooms, vintage isn’t necessarily a word you want to hear. Thankfully, the home’s bright kitchen is fully updated, with stainless steel appliances, white cabinets, an island, and French doors. The bathrooms have also been renovated, with clean, modern fixtures and finishes.

Of course, in L.A, outdoor space is key, and this home includes access to a charming shared courtyard with decorative brick details, a fountain and lush landscaping. But let’s be real: what’s truly essential in this town is parking, so don’t worry — this home comes with a private one-car garage.
