The Crown Jewel of Melrose Hill | 4926 Marathon St.

In the pocket-sized historic district of Melrose Hill, this Craftsman sits like the neighborhood’s crown jewel. It is surrounded by tree-lined streets and architecture that still carries the texture of early 1900s Los Angeles.

$2,595,000 | 5 Beds | 5 Baths | 3,547 Sq. Ft. | $732 Price/Sq.Ft. | 10,063 Sq. Ft. Lot Size | Built in 1912

Melrose Hill has always carried a certain mystique. Just a handful of streets and tucked away just far enough away from the big city.

It may be difficult to believe this stunning and restored Craftsman home is over 100 years old. Built in 1912, it has undergone an exquisite revamp and a brilliant modernization.

Inside, the interiors lean into light and the outdoor greenery.

Windows frame treetops, and every room feels connected to the outdoors.

Sunlight drifts across wood, tile, and glass, softening the edges of daily life.

A front porch sets the stage, opening to living and dining spaces touched with original stained glass.

The family room looks out onto a park-like backyard and connects to a kitchen designed for both cooking and gathering. Quartz counters, stainless appliances, custom tile, open shelving, and a large island anchor the space.

An elegant dining room designed for slow dinners, good wine, and conversations that stretch until the late evening.

Upstairs, a skylit staircase leads to four bedrooms.

Including one reimagined as a walk-in closet with a studio-grade vanity mirror and Calacatta marble.

The primary suite offers a sitting area under skylight, a second walk-in closet, and its own balcony with treetop views of the backyard.

The primary suite has a spa-like bath with soaking tub and oversized shower, and city views that catch radiant sunset light.

With multiple balconies, wide verandas, and a rolling green lawn, 4926 Marathon Street captures Southern California’s indoor-outdoor lifestyle at its finest.

The property also includes a generous laundry room, finished basement, two-car garage, and a gated motor court with space for five cars.

Above the garage, a private ADU with its own deck and two baths creates a flexible retreat for guests, work, or studio use.

With nearly 10,000 square feet of land, this one-of-a-kind property carries both the history of Los Angeles and the wild energy of Melrose Hill, now home to some of the city’s most exciting new cafes, restaurants, and galleries. Just minutes from Los Feliz and Hancock Park, this home is one of the neighborhood’s rarest finds.
