This rare duplex, designed by award-winning architect David J. Witmer, AIA - best known as the chief architect of the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. - is located in Belmont Square, a charming Westlake enclave near Historic Filipinotown (HiFi), Echo Park, MacArthur Park, and DTLA. Built in 1924, the complex consists of thirty-nine parcels, each featuring a duplex and a garden area. Blending East Coast-style row home architecture with minimal Art Deco influences and American Craftsman details, this property offers timeless character and thoughtful design. The owner-occupied upper unit is a meticulously upgraded 1BR/1BA featuring bamboo and marble flooring, stained-glass windows in the kitchen and bathroom, and a Mid-Century Modern fireplace with custom tilework in the living room overlooking a tree-lined street. Additional enhancements include hand-painted designer wallpaper, an upgraded kitchen with a built-in breakfast table, and a hallway lined with open shelving that maximizes natural light and space. A Dutch door in the kitchen leads to a small, private balcony. The lower level houses a similarly sized 1BR/1BA unit with a rent-controlled tenant in place. Each unit has its own private, gated entrance from the street level, with a shared garden space beyond the gate and steps lead

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
