Find Out What Your Home Is Really Worth!

The Sepulveda Residence :: Builders Gabbert & O'Neil :: 1911 :: Jefferson Park HPOZ :: Within one of Los Angeles' most beloved early 20th-century neighborhoods - celebrated for its exceptional Arts & Crafts architecture and historic charm - stands 2321 W 31st St, a superior example of the architectural movement of its time. Remarkably, this elegant bungalow, quaintly positioned behind a majestic eucalyptus and layers of California native landscaping, was once owned by Roman Dolores Sepulveda as well as occupied by several ancestors of the Sepulveda family, prominent Los Angeles pioneers whose namesake proudly graces the city's longest street. This 3-bed, 2-bath, 1,549 sq ft residence was thoughtfully restored and updated in 2017, achieving a stellar blend of authentic Craftsman character and modern upgrades. From the street, the home warmly welcomes you with an expansive wrap-around porch, classic shake-shingle exterior, and wide quarter-sawn oak front door. Inside, the living and dining rooms are adorned with distinguished millwork, original hardwood floors, wainscoting, casement windows, and a Batchelder-style tiled fireplace that anchors the space with warmth and character. Period colonnades gracefully flank the entry to a generously sized modern kitchen, creating an open feel enhanced by shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, and a spacious island. Fully equipped with high-end appliances-including a gas range, wine/beverage refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, pot filler, and full-size refrigerator. The kitchen is smartly designed for entertaining, flow, and ample storage. The gloriously sunlit den, featuring a broad pocket door, offers flexibility as an office or additional bedroom. At the rear of the home, the large primary suite provides a peaceful retreat with ample walk-in closets and a substantial bathroom fitted with dual sinks, a walk-in shower, and a separate clawfoot tub illuminated by an antique Art Deco pendant. Outside, the backyard offers a lush and private oasis surrounded by mature podocarpus hedges, cactus, and grapevines. A seamless deck hatch provides access to a basement for additional storage, while a motorized gate leads to a finished garage suitable for parking or flex space. Practical amenities include laundry, HVAC, a 200-amp electrical panel and rewire, copper plumbing, Nest thermostat, tankless water heater, security camera system, landscape lighting, and irrigation. The location is unbeatable-just moments from local favorites such as Papi's Tacos, Highly Likely, South LA Cafe, Harold & Belle's, Halfday Coffee, Johnny's Pastrami, Maydan Market, and green space at Leslie Shaw Park, with easy access to freeways and Metro lines. A truly special opportunity to own a historic Craftsman with enduring character, elevated by classic restoration and modern comfort, in one of South LA's most cherished neighborhoods, known for its deeply rooted and unmatched sense of community.
