From the Agent: "Known as the John C. Hayes Residence, this incredibly rare Victorian home was carefully moved to its current location in 1925 by owner and architect, Charles Lantz, and is a shining example of the meticulous detail and craftsmanship that went into the early development of Los Angeles. Astonishingly, over the past 128 years, this home has been lovingly cared for and restored, one steward at a time, and is now ready for its next chapter. Inside, the especially bright property retains the original Douglas fir floors, 12-foot ceilings, an original parlor and period-style lighting. The remodeled kitchen features a vintage Wedgewood stove with an oversized hood and period-style cabinetry hardware. The spacious four-bedroom home offers plenty of space for family and guests, all while accommodating working-from-home needs. Overall, this is a rare opportunity at a competitive price point."
