I represented move-up buyers who purchased this 1927 Spanish hacienda in the Miracle Mile for $2,442,500, about $1,278 per square foot. It closed on October 16, 2026, at 103.98% of the list price, 14 days after it hit the market.
How the search came together
These buyers had outgrown their Hancock Park condo and were ready for a home with more space. We looked at more than 30 homes, from Hancock Park all the way to Westchester.
Their hearts were always in the Miracle Mile corridor, for its proximity to museums and shops and its historic charm. That was the most important thing to them. They wanted a home with real character, and we found them one that truly is one of a kind.
About the home
A 1927 Spanish hacienda behind privacy gates on a nearly 9,000 sq ft lot in the middle of the city. A formal entry with Spanish tile and stained glass leads down into a living room with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, an arched picture window, and period iron details. The home wraps around a central courtyard with a Spanish-style fountain. It has a formal dining room, a breakfast nook, a kitchen with penny tile floors and marble tile backsplashes, a laundry room, and bathrooms updated with period-appropriate tile. All three bedrooms are generously sized, and the primary suite opens to a dipping pool surrounded by privacy hedges, with a sauna in the poolside shed. LACMA, the Petersen Automotive Museum, the Academy Museum, and the La Brea Tar Pits are all nearby.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY
“Kara Marotta was an incredible real estate agent to work with. My wife and I bought a 1927 Spanish Revival in Carthay Square, Los Angeles, in October 2026, and we were looking for more than just a house. We wanted a place where we could start a family, grow old together, and build a life in a home we could truly be proud of.
Kara was such a great partner throughout the process. She helped us negotiate repairs, connected us with vendors, and made us feel welcomed into the neighborhood. What stood out most was her poise, communication, and strategic approach, along with the thoughtfulness of her advice. We always appreciated her perspective and felt like we had someone in our corner who knew how to navigate the process.
Buying a home is a big milestone, and Kara helped make the experience feel that much more manageable and exciting. We’re so grateful to have had her guidance as we begin this next chapter of our lives.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Kara to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, thoughtful, and trustworthy buyer’s agent.”
