Located at the top of Wilcox Avenue, just north of Franklin and west of Cahuenga Boulevards in the historic Whitley Heights neighborhood of the Hollywood Hills the property is surrounded by single-family homes selling for over $2.0 million on average. This 16-unit complex built in 1926 consists of two 8-unit, 2-story wood frame stucco structures on one lot. The building's architecture of "Old Hollywood Spanish" style with a quiet center courtyard is highly sought after by renters. Each building consists of two 2-bedroom / 1-bath units of approximately 1,100 square feet, and six 1-bedroom / 1-bath units of approximately 900 square feet, for a total of approximately 14,820 square feet in the two structures.
The apartments offer very large eat-in kitchens and other large rooms, compared to other competing buildings with mostly bachelors and singles. Most units have either original or new hardwood flooring, and all units have 9-foot ceilings with crown moldings. All first-floor units have private "walk-up" entry front doors (a few also have back doors). All second-floor units also have private "walk-up" entry doors, 9-foot ceilings, and beautiful interior hardwood steps with original wood banisters leading up to their second-level apartments. Every unit has many windows (all recently replaced) allowing warm and inviting light into the apartments. There is street parking under LA City Permit Parking (Zone 99), restricted to residents of the street.
Every unit has their own hot water heaters located inside the unit with a laundry room on premises. Residents pay for their own hot water heating, unit gas for heating and cooking and residents pay for their electricity. The property is gated with a new DKS access electronic entry system. There is a quaint raised backyard with a barbecue and large seating area for residents to relax. The ownership has made major renovations and upgrades to the property since they purchased the building. Some of those improvements include the following:
• All new building window screens, 156 low-E double-pane windows and sliding glass doors in the complex
