2948 S Norton Avenue, Los Angeles, California, United States, 90018

Set in the heart of West Adams, this thoughtfully restored Spanish residence balances original character with a romantic contemporary point of view. Preserved moldings, tilework, and restored windows and doors meet white oak floors, Farrow & Ball paint, vintage-sourced lighting, and custom hardware throughout. The kitchen pairs design with high-end appliances, while updated electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and a tankless water heater bring modern ease to the home's historic framework. Two inviting, light-filled bedrooms flank either side of the home, each featuring casement windows, sconces, and custom closets accented with distinctive wallpaper. A custom bath with heated floors brings warm, quiet luxury, while a classic powder room features bespoke millwork and antique details. Outside, the home opens onto an unexpectedly generous garden, where mature avocado, apple, persimmon, and banana trees create a private setting for afternoon restoration, and effortless entertaining. Two reclad wooden barns add flexible space for an art studio, office, or guest retreat. Set just moments from the restaurants, cafes, and Pilates studios that have made West Adams one of Los Angeles' most compelling neighborhoods; Highly Likely, Cento, Alta, N/Soto, Bee Taqueria, and Whole Foods are all within a 10-minute drive. A character-rich Spanish home, where contemporary design and California indoor-outdoor living come together with ease.
