THE RESIDENCE
Perched at the penthouse, corner level of the El Dorado, this light-filled studio loft has been fully renovated from the inside out and has not been lived in since completion.
High ceilings, oversized windows, and the penthouse position give the space a sense of openness and calm that’s rare in the Historic Core…
bright by day, atmospheric by night.
INTERIOR & LAYOUT
Spanning approximately 780 square feet, the residence was thoughtfully reimagined as a calm, modern counterpoint to the building’s historic shell. The renovation included new hardwood floors, new drywall, and fresh paint throughout, resulting in a space that feels clean, cohesive, and intentionally restrained.
High ceilings and oversized windows shape the main living area, allowing daylight to move easily through the space. The penthouse position creates a sense of openness and separation—quiet above the street, expansive in feel.
PANORAMIC VIEWS
From the 12th floor, the residence captures panoramic views across downtown Los Angeles, stretching well beyond the surrounding rooftops. The elevation and unobstructed sightlines create a rare sense of openness and privacy—quiet above the street, expansive in every direction. Daylight moves easily through the space, while the city unfolds below, offering a perspective that feels both connected and removed at once.
FINISHES & DETAILS
The kitchen is integrated seamlessly into the living space with a discreet, architectural approach. Bosch stainless steel appliances, black granite countertops, and custom cabinetry maintain a minimal palette while supporting everyday use. A Bosch in-unit washer and dryer is thoughtfully incorporated.
The bathroom continues the same material language, finished with black granite counters and a full-height glass shower and bath enclosure, offering a refined, hotel-level simplicity without excess.
A LANDMARK BUILDING
Originally constructed in 1913 as the Stowell Hotel, the El Dorado is a neo-gothic Art Deco landmark in the heart of downtown’s Old Bank District. The building has been meticulously restored, preserving its historic character while integrating modern systems and infrastructure.
The original lobby—rich with period detail—now anchors the building, while the surrounding neighborhood places the residence steps from cultural institutions, architecture, and some of the city’s most established dining destinations.
The property benefits from Mills Act tax savings, offering meaningful long-term value to owners.
