9044 Elevado Street · West Hollywood
Tucked into West Hollywood's Norma Triangle, this 1925 cottage carries its original character: steep gables, a standing-seam metal roof, parquet floors, plaster crown work. The approved plans turn the page. A comprehensive renovation, an ADU at the rear, and a pool where there used to be lawn.
Six frames from a 1925 residence held in its original character, waiting on a set of approved plans.
The cottage as it stands. The plans show the rest.
Plans have been approved for a comprehensive renovation, a small ADU, and a pool. The next owner inherits both the cottage and a head start.
The Norma Triangle, that small grid of one-way streets between Doheny and Larrabee, is West Hollywood's most quietly walkable neighborhood. Most of its lots hold modest, character-rich homes from the 1920s. This is one of them.
9044 Elevado was built in 1925. It carries the steep gables and standing-seam metal roof you'd expect from that decade. Inside: parquet floors, plaster archways between rooms, an original carved fireplace surround, casement windows facing the garden, two bedrooms, two baths, 1,436 square feet that read larger than they measure.
The reason this listing exists, though, is what hasn't been built yet. A comprehensive renovation has been drawn and approved. So has a detached ADU at the rear of the 4,403-square-foot lot. So has a pool. The next owner doesn't start at zero. They start at "plans in hand."
For an end-user who wants to live with the character intact while a renovation finishes around them, or an investor who sees what the Triangle is doing to comparable lots: the math is on the page.
Gated, three-spot parking. Norma Triangle's typical lot size. Enough for the cottage, the planned ADU, and the planned pool, without compromise.
Renovation of the existing residence, plus a detached ADU and a pool. Permitting is the longest line at LA City. The next owner skips it.
Two blocks south to Norah, Petit Trois, Sur, and the rest of the strip. The cottage is quiet. The walk is not.
Original parquet, original mantel, original plaster, original windows. Nothing has been Disney-stripped or boxed-in. The character is still in the room.
The comprehensive renovation of the existing residence has been drawn, submitted, and approved. The next owner skips the longest line at LADBS.
A small detached accessory dwelling unit is part of the approved plan set. Rental income, guest house, or studio: the entitlement is already in hand.
The plans include a pool sited at the rear of the 4,403-square-foot lot, integrated with the proposed ADU. The Triangle does not have many pool lots. This one is becoming one.
Adjust the down payment, the interest rate, and the term. The principal-and-interest figure updates without leaving the page.
The Norma Triangle is the wedge of streets bounded by Doheny Drive, Santa Monica Boulevard, and Larrabee Street. One-way lanes. Mature trees. 1920s cottages with small gardens.
Two blocks south is Santa Monica Boulevard, with Petit Trois, Sur, The Abbey, and every neighborhood standard. Two blocks east is the Sunset Strip. Beverly Hills is a six-minute drive.
The Triangle is one of the few WeHo neighborhoods where you can leave the car at home for a whole weekend.
