Step into this storybook 3-bedroom, 2-bath Craftsman bungalow beautifully renovated while honoring its original 1909 character ideal for visiting faculty, researchers, medical fellows, or corporate professionals on assignment in Los Angeles, or families looking for a wonderful home for their children attending USC. Can be delivered furnished for an additional cost.
Inside, the home feels warm, refined, and practical for longer stays. Original built-ins with leaded glass flank a cozy central fireplace, coffered ceilings frame the living spaces, and period-inspired light fixtures add timeless charm. An oversized dining room is perfect for family dinners, informal meetings, or small gatherings. The refreshed kitchen blends classic style with modern convenience: new quartz countertops, sink, stainless steel stove, hood, dishwasher, and recessed lighting. Both bathrooms feature brand-new vanities, and the entire home has new luxury vinyl plank flooring and fresh interior and exterior paint, so everything feels clean, bright, and move-in ready.
The layout works well for a couple, small family, USC students or a visiting scholar who wants a dedicated workspace. Three well-sized bedrooms allow for bedroom-plus-office configurations, and the generous living and dining areas make it easy to host colleagues or relax after a long day on campus.
The location is exceptional for anyone connected to USC or central LA. The house is about a 5-minute walk to the USC campus, making it simple to reach classes, labs, libraries, and events without a car. It is roughly a 2-minute walk to the LA Memorial Coliseum and BMO Stadium, placing you in the heart of major sporting and cultural events and in a front-row neighborhood for the 2028 Olympic Games. You are also steps from Exposition Park, the Natural History Museum, the California Science Center, and the highly anticipated Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, opening next year.
For getting around the city, the home is just a short walk from the Metro line, allowing you to explore Downtown LA, Culver City, Santa Monica, and the Westside without getting stuck in traffic. Quick access to the 110 and 10 freeways makes driving straightforward when needed.
Dining and nightlife options are excellent and convenient. Nearby USC Village and the Figueroa corridor offer cafes, coffee shops, casual eateries, and sit-down restaurants for everyday meals or evenings out close to home. With the Metro so close, you are also a short train ride from the vibrant restaurants, rooftop bars, and cultural venues of Downtown LA, LA Live, and the Arts District.
In sum, this home offers historic charm, modern comforts, and outstanding access to USC, museums, dining, nightlife, and transit an ideal, low-stress base for a productive and enjoyable sabbatical or extended professional stay in Los Angeles.
