1049 Elden Ave

Rare Mission Revival Masterpiece Designed by Morgan & Walls with the Mills Act.

A true architectural gem in the heart of Wilshire Center, this rare Mission Revival Craftsman was designed by the esteemed firm Morgan & Walls in collaboration with legendary architect Stiles Clements, visionaries behind L.A. landmarks like the Wiltern, El Capitan, and Mayan Theaters, as well as the iconic Samson Tire Factory (now Citadel Outlets) and ARCO Tower. Film lovers may recognize the home from The Prestige, with scenes featuring Hugh Jackman, Scarlett Johansson, and Christian Bale filmed on-site. Meticulously restored and thoughtfully upgraded, the home features a new roof, sewer line, copper plumbing, updated electrical, dual-zone HVAC, tankless water heaters, and refinished hardwood floors all while preserving its historic character. Spanning over 5,000+ square feet, the residence offers 6 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, a sunroom, den, music room, wood-paneled dining room, mudroom, servant's staircase and quarters, a finished attic, and a full basement with separate entrance. Period details abound, including five decorative fireplaces, original leaded-glass windows and built-ins, restored gas-electric light fixtures, and a turn-of-the-century security system. A detached two-car garage is topped by a fully permitted recreation room, perfect for guests, office, or creative space. Set on well sized lot, the lush, gated grounds are a true urban oasis, brimming with mature fruit trees - plumeria, ginger, citrus, fig, persimmon, guava, avocado, mango, and papaya. The R4-zoned property offers potential for future development and currently qualifies for significant property tax savings under the Mills Act.
