‘Rare’ French chateau condo lists in California. See why it stands out
A chance to own a piece of Los Angeles history has landed on the real estate market in Koreatown. And it comes at a reasonable price as far as historic landmarks go.
A one-bedroom, one-bathroom condo in the French Chateau Apartments, a Historic-Cultural Monument, has listed for $745,000.
“An exquisite example of the Chateau Eclectic style, the property was thoughtfully converted and updated in 2007, preserving its 1930s artistry while enhancing it with contemporary comforts. Residents benefit from significant Mills Act property tax savings, making it both a heritage home and a smart investment,” a news release on the property says.
Stepping out of the trendy neighborhood and into the apartment is like transporting into a completely different world. One with hardwood flooring and “steel-frame casement windows” in a massive living room.
Other features in the 1,150-square-foot condo, per the listing, include:
- Two private entrances
- Period tilework
- Dining room
- “French Moderne-inspired cabinetry”
- Washer/dryer
- Natural light
- Views
“Historic properties such as this are rare finds throughout Los Angeles. The market for this property is very niche and won’t conform to typical market trends,” listing agent Joshua Gaunya said.
“This is a special opportunity to become the next custodian of a legendary property.”
The listing is held by Gaunya and Lisa Paperno with Compass.
