920 S Serrano AvenueLos Angeles, CA 90006

Welcome to Chateau Alpine, City of Los Angeles Cultural Historic Landmark #928. The topiary-lined walkway meanders through the central courtyard, inviting the visitor to slow down and absorb the dignified presence of the Norman Revival Architecture as they approach the unit. The complex was built in the waning years of the Great Depression, when even the best old-world craftsmen and high-quality building materials were plentiful and inexpensive. This allowed for a build quality at Chateau Alpine, both inside and out, that far surpasses today's building standards. Real lath-and-plaster walls enhance auditory privacy, while the living room's broken door pediment, dentilated crown moldings, and hardwood floors add a sense of genteel refinement. With the scale of the rooms and floor plan, 920 South Serrano lives more like a small house than a typical condominium. The grand scale of the living room feels like its own separate wing, with a prominent bay window overlooking the topiary of the central courtyard. A recently remodeled kitchen and bath provide modern comforts for those opting for convenience alongside the unit's historic fabric. Chateau Alpine is one of many important buildings on the street and surrounding neighborhood that have been designated with HCM status. The location is convenient to freeways, shopping and the ever burgeoning nightlife in the neighborhood.
