Tour a rare 1885 Queen Anne Victorian & LA's first HPOZ | Carroll Ave in Angeleno Heights, Echo Park

Video Description

Step back in time on Carroll Avenue— a landmark street within the Angeleno Heights section of Echo Park and Los Angeles’ first Historic Preservation Overlay Zone (HPOZ). Carroll Avenue is home to the city’s largest concentration of Victorian architecture, including both Queen Anne and Eastlake styles. Designated as a National Historic District, this one-of-a-kind street has become an icon of L.A.’s architectural heritage, famously featured in Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” and the TV series Charmed… and I’m ashamed to admit, I just discovered it. On this tour, I explore both Historic Carroll Avenue on the outside and, on the inside, a magnificent Queen Anne Victorian built in 1885, proudly recognized as Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Monument No. 51. It was the third home built on this street when Los Angeles was mostly farmland, and it has remained in the same family for three generations — a living testament to the city’s early craftsmanship and preservation. Mere blocks from Echo Park Lake and close to neighborhood favorites like Bacetti, Canyon Coffee, and Masa, you may be surprised that 1885 construction sits in one of the hippest parts of Los Angeles today. This home is just waiting for its next steward to restore it to its former glory. From its elaborate millwork, high ceilings, intricate fireplaces, and detailed exterior to its stained and leaded-glass windows and carved wood staircase, every detail tells a story from eras gone by. Set on a 16,000+ sf lot overlooking the Downtown Los Angeles skyline, it embodies the grace, artistry, and permanence of 19th-century design. Whether you love historic homes, Victorian architecture, or discovering hidden Los Angeles neighborhoods, this tour offers a rare glimpse inside one of the city’s most historic Victorians — just minutes from Echo Park Lake and Downtown LA. Listed for $2,195,000, this Queen Anne Victorian will transport you back in time. 📍 Carroll Avenue, Angeleno Heights, Echo Park, Los Angeles 🏡 1885 Queen Anne Victorian | 2,940 sf home | 16,042 sf lot 📜 Designation: Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Monument No. 51 🎬 Filmed by Sharlotte Blake | LA Lux Estates ✨ Design • Data • Dedication — the foundation of everything I do.
