Property Description

Nestled in the heart of South Carthay, this remarkable residence is a true architectural treasure. Once the personal home of renowned architect and developer Spiros G. Ponty, the property reflects his mastery of the Spanish Revival style—an aesthetic that defines much of the neighborhood's enduring character.
Situated on one of the largest lots in the area—over 8,000 square feet—this residence combines timeless design with extraordinary potential. The property has a Mills Act contract with the city, providing significant annual property tax savings (please inquire for details).
Behind its walled entry, the home opens to a charming courtyard with a covered patio and outdoor fireplace, setting the stage for gracious living and entertaining. Inside, distinctive architectural details abound: hardwood floors, terra cotta tile, sunken living room with fireplace, coved ceilings, arched passageways, and decorative ironwork throughout. The formal dining room and breakfast room capture an era of elegance, while the primary suite enjoys direct access to the expansive rear yard through French doors. NOTE: Some images have been digitally enhanced.

The kitchen has granite countertops, maple cabinetry, and a professional stainless-steel appliance package that includes a six-burner Viking range, refrigerator, dishwasher, and built-in microwave. Modern comforts include central air & heat, indoor laundry and a newer roof.

Perfectly positioned, the property offers easy access to museums on Wilshire Boulevard and world-class shopping and dining at The Grove outdoor shopping plaza.
This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Los Angeles architectural history. With thoughtful restoration, this home will once again shine as a showcase residence—combining heritage, character, and exceptional value.
