139 S Orange DR Los Angeles CA 90036 MLS #26831779

Expansive, thoughtfully updated, and exceptionally maintained, this classic French Revival duplex is situated on one of the most desirable blocks in Hancock Park. Rich in architectural character yet designed for modern living, the property showcases original hardwood floors, central A/C, in-unit laundry in both residences, soaring ceilings, and abundant natural light throughout. The positioning of each entrance on separate sides of the building creates a rare sense of privacy, allowing both residences to feel distinct and independent. The lower residence lives with the scale and functionality of a single-family home, offering 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms anchored by a chef-caliber kitchen featuring top-of-the-line Miele and Sub-Zero appliances, a massive center island with secondary prep sink, generous seating, and plenty of workspace. Down the hall are three guest suites, stacked laundry, linen storage, and multiple additional closets providing exceptional functionality. At the rear of the residence is a spacious family room with fireplace and wet bar, lined with French doors that open to a fully hedged backyard and patio complete with outdoor speakers, a pergola, and a built-in fire pit with custom stucco bench seating. Off the family room, a staircase leads to the private primary suite featuring its own patio, dual walk-in closets, and a luxurious bathroom with canted skylights, soaking tub, and walk-in shower. The upper residence offers 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms along with a separate bonus room above the carport surrounded by windows, ideal for a home office, gym, or creative studio. Oversized windows flood the living room with natural light while framing picturesque views of the tree-lined street below. Original hardwood floors, high ceilings, and preserved built-ins blend with updated cabinetry and appliances in the kitchen, creating a refined balance of classic charm and modern convenience. Upstairs, the bright and airy primary suite features yet another private patio, a walk-in closet, and a beautifully updated bathroom that completes the residence’s elevated yet comfortable feel. Additional features include two single-car garages along with a converted garage space ideal for supplemental storage, workshop use, or hobby space. It is exceptionally rare to find a Hancock Park duplex with a true third story, and even rarer to find one executed with this level of scale, character, and thoughtful design. Combining timeless architecture with sophisticated updates and exceptional indoor-outdoor living, this is a truly unique offering moments from Larchmont Village, The Grove, and some of Los Angeles’ best dining, shopping, and cultural destinations.
