Want to own a piece of L.A. history? Welcome to Angelino Heights — one of Los Angeles’ oldest neighborhoods, where time truly stands still.
This is The Phillips Residence, built in 1885 and designated Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Monument No. 51. Often called the crown jewel of Carroll Avenue, this Queen Anne and Eastlake Victorian sits on a hilltop corner overlooking the city.
It’s only had two owners in nearly 140 years, and now it’s ready for someone new to bring it back to its former glory.
Inside you’ll find intricate woodwork, stained-glass windows, and a grand staircase that makes a statement the moment you walk in. Built for Aaron Phillips, an Iowa merchant who moved west in the 1880s, the home blends the angles of Eastlake design with the charm and ornate detailing of the Queen Anne style
The home has four bedrooms, three baths, and nearly 3,000 square feet on over a third of an acre, surrounded by lush gardens, wide porches, and open views — a rare sense of privacy in the heart of Los Angeles.
And the neighborhood? One of a kind.
Carroll Avenue has one of the largest preserved collections of 1880s Victorian homes in the country — and the most cinematic in Southern California.
Fun fact, just in time for Halloween: this street’s been featured in countless films and TV shows — including Charmed and Michael Jackson’s Thriller. That’s why it’s one of Hollywood’s favorite backdrops — straight out of another time.
Steeped in history, beauty, and character, this extraordinary home is ready for its next chapter — a chance to own one of L.A.’s true architectural treasures.
