Property Description

Smart money comes here for Grandpa chic with a touch of The Shining. Walk through the gates of the Glen Donald, and it's like stepping onto a film set. The courtyard is lush, the lobby a vintage time capsule, cinematic in its stillness, a threshold between past and present. Think Raymond Carver meets The Shining: liminal dark glamour. Inside #411, sunlight spills across the original hardwood floors, catching on an exposed brick wall that feels more old-school than starter studio. Nine-foot ceilings add gravitas, and here's the best part: this unit hasn't been messed with. No one's tried to strip it of soul in the name of "modernizing." The full tub remains in the bathroom, the kitchen keeps its cabinets and custom-carved period details, and the walk-in closet is surprisingly generous. The "dressing room" is a bonus area off the main room that's been converted to a sleeping nook that fits a double bed perfectly, like a sleeper car. This makes it a functional junior 1-bedroom. Downstairs, the drama tilts communal: billiards, ping-pong, a piano, a library (formerly the ballroom), laundry, bike racks, a fitness room. HOA dues cover ALL utilities (gas, electric, water, trash).The building has been retrofitted for earthquake safety, and the gated courtyard entry keeps it secure.**Westlake is where developers are putting their money.** This could be your chance to buy in at a very low price, your Echo Park in the '90s moment. The proximity to DTLA makes this a no-brainer. Walking distance to Metro Red/Purple Line at Westlake/MacArthur Park Station. A smarter alternative to dorm life at USC or SCI-Arc, this ownership builds equity rather than drains it.**Total monthly cost with 20% down: approximately $2,110/month, unheard of in LA. No parking included (nearby lot rentals available). The walk to the building will get your blood pumping. This is authentic, gritty Westlake, hiding nothing. These units are for singles, investors, anyone who values legacy, who's practical but refuses to settle for ugly or common. Buying here is its own threshold moment, the bridge to maturity. You step over the line from renting to owning. You invest in yourself, buy a sliver of history, put down roots, and create your own story. The building itself is a passage between eras, anchored in the past yet pressed up against the edge of Downtown and Koreatown. This place has character; it feels a little haunted, and with good reason. The building carries stories. In 2010, the remains of two infants wrapped in 1930s newspapers were discovered in the former ballroom. The mystery remains unsolved. This is a building with a past, not a sanitized cube. If you need pristine and predictable, look elsewhere. This unit is intact, original, and ready for its next chapter if you can handle it.
