About this home

Tucked behind gates in the heart of Picfair Village, this enchanting Spanish-style retreat delivers privacy, character, and an indoor-outdoor lifestyle made for Los Angeles. Sunlight pours into the inviting living room, where an oversized picture window frames the lush front garden and a striking tiled wood-burning fireplace creates a warm focal point. The dining area connects effortlessly to the cook's kitchen and cheerful breakfast nook, while a secluded side patio is ready for morning coffee or dining under the stars. The main residence features a spacious primary suite with generous closets, plus two well-proportioned bedrooms, one perfectly suited for a home office. Out back, a private entertainer's haven awaits with a built-in gas BBQ, cafe lights, and plenty of room to gather and unwind. Adding incredible versatility, an approximately 20-by-20-foot bonus space above the detached two-car garage includes a bathroom and can function as a fourth bedroom, guest retreat, creative studio, media lounge, or recreation room. With approximately 2,000 square feet of living space, up to four bedrooms, and 2.25 baths, this one-of-a-kind Picfair Village compound offers an irresistible mix of classic charm, modern comfort, and flexible living.

About Picfair

Village

Picfair Village, located between Mid-Wilshire and West Adams, is a residential and commercial Los Angeles neighborhood with early-20th-century bungalows and a low-slung, storefront-lined streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Pico Boulevard near Fairfax Avenue, where taquerias, corner markets, and small service shops keep the sidewalks active. Pillars include the Craft Contemporary museum campus, the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, and the La Brea Tar Pits and Museum just to the northwest. Side streets mix Spanish Revival and modest duplexes with mature street trees and compact yards. The flat grid favors walking and biking between cafes, galleries, and everyday errands. Wilshire’s museum row and the Fairfax District sit close enough to shape the area’s cultural rhythm without overwhelming its quieter blocks.
