One of the city’s earliest co-op buildings, Koreatown’s elegant Miramonte Terrace was built in 1922 for a collective of 18 families who pooled their resources to fund its construction. Along with the three-story main building, the gated complex at 3400 San Marino Street contains a detached carriage house (originally the caretaker’s lodge), which is now up for grabs. Set behind the main building, the two-story unit is quite petite—766 square feet, to be exact. In the positive column, it’s bright and sunny, and full of period charm. Features include hardwood floors, crown moldings, built-in bookcases and seating, original tile, and a clawfoot tub. The unit comes with two parking spaces and access to the community’s billiards room, sunroom, barbecue area, and garden with fruit trees.
