Property Description
There are corners of Los Angeles that seem to exist outside of time - places where history hangs in the air, weightless but present. Belmont Square is one of those places. A hidden enclave tucked between the low-slung hum of Historic Filipinotown, the earnest hip of Echo Park, and the wilting romance of MacArthur Park. Here, among jacaranda-dappled streets and century-old palms, stands a rare 1924 duplex designed by David J. Witmer, AIA - the same architect who would later leave his mark on Washington, D.C. with the Pentagon. Witmer's design in Westlake is less fortress, more reverie: a thoughtful marriage of East Coast row house restraint with the optimism of American Craftsman and early Art Deco. One of just thirty-nine parcels in this quietly cinematic complex, the home sits behind a private gate, each unit with its own street-facing entrance and shared access to a garden where the city recedes just enough to feel like something remembered. The upper unit (owner-occupied) is a one-bedroom, one-bath poem in form and detail: bamboo and marble underfoot, stained glass filtering sunlight in the kitchen and bath, a custom-tiled Mid-Century fireplace presiding over the living room like an old Hollywood character actor. The hallway is lined with open shelving - books, objects, echoes
