2121 James M Wood

Built in 1923, this four-story Beaux Arts landmark in Westlake/MacArthur Park reads like a preserved slice of 1920s Los Angeles. The masonry façade and rich original woodwork give way to an interior with a marble-floored lobby, glass canopy entry, crown moldings and period detailing. The property is comprised primarily of studio and small one-bedroom condominium homes with high ceilings, hardwood floors, eat-in kitchens, dressing/vanity areas and walk-in closets in several units. Common areas include a secured central courtyard, elevator access, multiple staircases, a recreational room, weight room/exercise area, library and community laundry. Practical features include bike storage, on-site management, a security gate and seismic retrofitting; HOA dues commonly cover most utilities and lobby Wi-Fi. There is no dedicated on-site parking structure, but third-party lots are nearby; short-term rentals are restricted. Located between Downtown Los Angeles and Mid-Wilshire, the building sits within walking distance of the Westlake/MacArthur Park Metro station and cultural destinations such as LA Live, museums, USC and a wide mix of restaurants and shops.
