1856 Benecia Avenue

First time on the market since 1997, this trust sale presents a rare opportunity to own a character-filled Spanish-style home in a desirable West Los Angeles neighborhood. Set on a tree-lined street south of Santa Monica Boulevard, 1856 Benecia Ave combines the charm and craftsmanship of its era with remarkably generous interior and outdoor spaces. Inside, original hardwood floors in good condition extend throughout much of the home, complemented by tall ceilings, crown molding, original wood built-ins, and a fireplace in the formal living room. Just off the front entry, a sun-filled office/den creates an inviting and flexible space for working from home, reading, or relaxing. The traditional floor plan continues with a separate formal dining room and dedicated breakfast room, while the spacious bedrooms offer generous closets, including walk-in storage. Original built-in closets and linen cabinetry provide additional storage throughout, and a separate laundry area adds everyday functionality. The tiled bathroom retains its classic layout with both a separate tub and shower stall. The home's elevated position above the street provides a welcome sense of privacy, while the generous side and rear yards create plenty of room to garden, entertain, or simply enjoy the outdoors. Fruit trees add to the property's established character, and a detached single-car garage provides additional parking and storage. Ideally positioned near Century City and Westwood, the home offers convenient access to shopping, dining, entertainment, employment centers, and many of the Westside's everyday destinations while retaining the feel of an established residential neighborhood. With its Spanish character, original architectural details, gracious room sizes, abundant natural light, and substantial outdoor space, this is a special opportunity to preserve what makes the home unique while thoughtfully creating its next chapter.
