The Oldest House For Sale In Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES, CA — The oldest house on the market in Los Angeles is Echo Park's stately Victorian on Carroll Avenue. Though there aren't many left like it and certainly not so well maintained, the 122-year-old home has been languishing on the MLS for nearly 300 days.

It's $2,150,000 price tag may have a lot to do with that along with that. While it's historic charm is it's selling point, its buyer pool is limited in a city where modern architecture is all the rage. The home boasts 4,092 square feet, soaring ceilings and an ornate staircase.

• Address: 1407 Carroll Ave, Los Angeles, California
• Price: $2,150,000
• Square Feet: 4092
• Bedrooms: 6
• Bathrooms: 2 Baths
• Built: 1895
• Features: There are moments in history when humans push the boundaries, unshackle themselves from the norm and reach out for the unknown, for greatness. Victorian Architecture is a glorious example of this quest and 1407 Carroll Avenue embodies its achievement. One of the rare moments when mankind took the most basic of human needs, shelter, and made it art. 1407 Carroll Avenue is a stately Victorian home located on the finest street in Angelino Heights among one of the highest concentrations of Victorian Architecture in the United States. The sheer scale of 1407 Carroll Avenue is rivaled only by its finely honed details, the likes of which no longer exist in modern day construction. Walking through its long halls, beneath its soaring ceilings, descending its ornate staircase, reclining on its massive front porch and strolling down its vintage street lamp lit sidewalks is to step back in time while stepping boldly into your future greatness.
