A striking example of 1930s Los Angeles architecture, this character-rich duplex in Hancock Park pairs period detailing that feels both timeless and cinematic. Recently refreshed with a new roof, HVAC unit, exterior paint, and landscaping, the building presents a classic facade framed by mature greenery and windows crowned with stylish deep green awnings. Each of the full-floor residences offer 3-bedrooms, 2-full bathrooms, and generous proportions throughout. Upon entering, hardwood floors add warmth, while a sculptural Batchelder fireplace brings quiet drama to the living space. Sunlight moves through paned windows and archways, pulling you through the formal dining room into a spacious kitchen outfitted with a breakfast nook and a separate laundry room with outdoor access. Ample storage, with multiple closets and built-ins discreetly integrated throughout. Out back, a detached three-car garage and additional storage offer utility, while updated landscaping frames the property. Set on a tree-lined stretch of Sycamore Avenue, moments from the new Wilshire/La Brea Metro Station, The Grove, LACMA, and the city's most coveted cultural and culinary landmarks, 842 S Sycamore is an investment in both beauty and versatility.
