About This Property
Exceptional Carthay Circle Spanish Colonial pool & spa home
offering 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, two en-suite bedrooms, and
significant Mills Act property tax savings. Beautifully preserved
and thoughtfully updated, this timeless residence blends rich
architectural character with the comforts of modern living in one
of Los Angeles' most treasured historic neighborhoods. A gracious
foyer welcomes you into a magnificent living room featuring soaring
10-foot ceilings, French doors and windows, bespoke vintage
lighting, a beautifully restored plaster fireplace, and an
abundance of original period details. Just beyond, a charming
fountain courtyard provides a tranquil setting for morning coffee,
afternoon relaxation, or intimate evening gatherings. The elegant
floor plan flows seamlessly into a formal dining room, breakfast
area, and updated kitchen, creating an ideal environment for both
everyday living and entertaining. The first floor includes a
spacious bedroom with an en-suite bath and French doors opening to
the backyard, offering flexibility for guests, extended family, or
a private home office. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite serves
as a true retreat, complete with a Juliet balcony overlooking the
courtyard fountain, an oversized walk-in closet, and a newly
renovated period-inspired en-suite bath with a spacious tiled
shower. Two additional bedrooms share a beautifully updated hall
bath. Refinished hardwood floors extend throughout the home,
enhancing its warmth, elegance, and authenticity. Designed for
Southern California indoor-outdoor living, the private backyard is
an entertainer's dream. A heated Pebble Tec salt water pool and spa
are surrounded by mature landscaping, while a covered outdoor
lounge with a wood-burning fireplace creates the perfect setting
for year-round gatherings. A detached garage with french doors
offers additional storage space. Additional improvements include a
newer roof and electric vehicle charger. Designated under the
coveted Mills Act, the property offers substantial property tax
savings while preserving its architectural legacy. Approximately
200 homes in the County of Los Angeles have the distinction of
being Mills Act Properties. For example, the current property tax
for this home is roughly $6,500 per year. Without Mills Act status
the annual property taxes would be around $31,250 per year. You can
see what an extraordinary opportunity this is, while owning an
exceptional piece of history. Ideally situated near Museum Row, The
Grove, the Metro D Line Extension (Sunday and Tuesday Farmer's
Market), this exceptional residence provides easy access to some of
Los Angeles' most celebrated cultural destinations, including the
Academy Museum, Petersen Automotive Museum, and the new David
Geffen Galleries at LACMA. Combining architectural pedigree,
resort-style amenities, and meaningful tax advantages, this is a
rare opportunity to own a distinguished piece of Los Angeles
history.
