2082 W. 29th Place










I've been away from the blog for a few days, in part to prepare a new listing, hunkering down to write pro forma copy, and folksy intros to neighbors.

Here's my first pass, which we've ultimately decided is a little too unconventional for the very conventional sales audience. Oh well, at least I can use it here. Got any questions about this bitchin' bungalow? Write me or call me.

The Roseen house, 1905

Uncommonly Detailed Bunglow in Surging Jefferson Park

What accounts for the overwhelming concentration of Arts related professionals in J-Park? Is it the location, minutes from the cultural colossus of downtown, within striking distance of Culver City, ¼ mile from the 10 freeway, and walking distance to the MTA’s upcoming Expo Line?

Is it the architecture, boasting the greatest selection and representation of bungalows built in the Arts & Crafts era in all of Southern California?

Is it the rapidly advancing esprit de corps, buttressed by a fraternity of neighbors, long time block clubs, and gung ho grass roots-ers?

But we ain’t just selling a neighborhood! Come tour this singular beauty, bursting with wonderous period detail. Every spacious room is extended by large, multi-light windows and enhanced by rich woodwork and complex moldings. Master carpenter quality original built-ins with elaborate art glass, remarkable box beam ceilings, and timeless original light fixtures dress an old house lover’s dream offering.
