Tucked in the architectural enclave of South Carthay, La Jolla Résidence is a 1943 French Normandy building reinterpreted for modern living. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and recognized by the City of Los Angeles for its architectural significance, this residence reflects a postwar era when European design profoundly influenced the city’s housing stock. Steep-pitched rooflines, wood detailing, and hand-applied masonry define its timeless appeal.


Each unit has been carefully restored with a respect for authenticity—refinished original hardwood floors, period lighting and tilework, and subtle upgrades that blend form and function. La Jolla Résidence offers a rare opportunity to inhabit a true historic landmark, gracefully adapted for 21st-century life.
