The Carolyn Bumiller-Hickey House c. 1904. A true architectural heirloom, this Mission Revival Craftsman is a rare and beautifully preserved work by the celebrated firm Morgan & Walls, created in collaboration with legendary architect Stiles Clements in the heart of Wilshire Center - MILLS ACT property for significant tax savings. Over its lifetime, the home has been held by only four owners a quiet testament to its significance, longevity and the care with which it has been stewarded across generations. Thoughtfully restored with deep respect for its original design, the residence blends period authenticity with meaningful modern upgrades. Recent improvements include a new roof, updated sewer line, copper plumbing, upgraded electrical, dual-zone HVAC, tankless water heaters, and refinished hardwood floors each enhancement intentionally executed to preserve the home's integrity while offering a strong foundation for what comes next. Spanning over 5,000 square feet, the floor plan is expansive yet flexible, offering six bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths alongside a sunroom, den, music room, wood-paneled dining room, mudroom, servant's staircase and quarters, a finished attic which doubles as a ballroom and a full basement with a separate entrance. Original details remain beautifully intact: five decorative fireplaces, leaded-glass windows and built-ins, restored gas-electric light fixtures, and a turn-of-the-century security system elements that anchor the home in its era while allowing future vision to take shape. The gated grounds unfold into a lush, private urban oasis, anchored by mature fruit trees including citrus, fig, persimmon, guava, avocado, mango, and papaya. A detached two-car garage is topped by a fully permitted recreation room perfect as guest quarters, a home office, or creative space. Zoned R4, the property offers both architectural distinction and long-term optionality. Whether preserved as-is or thoughtfully reimagined, this is a rare opportunity to become the next steward of a true Los Angeles legacy. A home with history, held by few ready for its next chapter, whatever you choose to make of it.
