1561 Carmona Avenue, Los Angeles, California 90019

Rarely does a California Bungalow compound like this come to market in the heart of Picfair Village. Delivered completely vacant and situated on an R2-zoned lot, the property offers three distinct living spaces: a charming front residence with 1 bedroom plus a loft and 1.5 baths, an attached guest studio with a full bath and Junior ADU potential, and a detached 1-bedroom, 1-bath ADU (permitted as a duplex unit). The front house and guest studio are part of what was one large home. If you desire a larger home, all that has to be done is reconnect the two spaces with the removal of a wall that separates them. The floorplan explains it well. Whether envisioned as an owner-occupied income property, a multigenerational retreat, or a collection of private spaces for living and working, this property offers a level of flexibility that is increasingly difficult to find. Leave the sidewalk behind and follow the garden path through professionally designed landscaping, where fragrant French lavender and Mediterranean-inspired plantings create a welcoming sense of arrival. Elevated above the street, the covered front porch is the kind of place where an extra cup of coffee turns into an hour and one last conversation keeps you lingering long after the sun goes down. Step inside and you will immediately notice what makes the home so enduring: the warmth, the natural light, and rooms that simply feel good to be in. Sunlight pours through the windows, hardwood floors add richness underfoot, and designer-selected paint colors complement the home’s original character. A fossiliferous limestone fireplace anchors the living room with texture and timeless appeal, creating a space equally suited for lively gatherings or quiet evenings at home. It is easy to see why the kitchen becomes the heart of the house. A generous center island invites conversation while meals are prepared, complemented by quartz countertops, abundant cabinetry, a pantry, and a sunny breakfast nook that is just as inviting for a quick weekday breakfast as it is for lingering over coffee on a Sunday morning. The attached guest studio provides a private living and sleeping area with a full bath, offering flexibility for extended family, overnight guests, a creative studio, or a home office. With Junior ADU potential, it presents an additional opportunity for the next owner to explore. A stroll through the garden leads to the detached rear ADU (permitted as a duplex unit), where a private patio wrapped in blooming star jasmine feels like a hidden retreat. Complete with 1 bedroom, a full bath, and its own kitchen, it is equally suited for guests, tenants, or a peaceful work-from-home environment. The 2-car garage includes a dedicated laundry area serving both the attached studio and rear ADU. What truly sets this home apart is the neighborhood surrounding it. Walk to Bloom Cafe, Mad Lab Coffee, and Joe’s Pizza, gather with neighbors for the beloved annual Pumpkin Race, and become part of one of Los Angeles’ most welcoming communities. Centrally located with convenient access to Beverly Hills, Culver City, West Hollywood, Downtown Los Angeles, and LAX, this is a rare opportunity to own a property that offers character, flexibility, and a true sense of place. More than a place to live, it is a place to put down roots, build memories, and enjoy the very best of Picfair Villagea timeless home thoughtfully designed for the way we live today. Back on market at no fault of seller. Buyer backed out two days before close of escrow with all buyer contingencies removed.
