2244 1/2 Fernleaf Street, Los Angeles, CA, 90031

For a standalone one-bedroom in the city, 2244 1/2 Fernleaf St really does give you a lot to work with. Newly built from the ground up in 2026, this unique one-bedroom, one-bathroom home brings together thoughtful design, high-quality finishes, a smart layout, and something that's surprisingly hard to find: a large, privately dedicated wraparound yard. Set behind a charming gabled entry, the home has a private, standalone feel from the moment you arrive. Inside, high ceilings and wide-plank flooring give the open living space an airy, modern feel, with an easy flow between the living, dining, and kitchen areas. The beautifully designed kitchen features custom cabinetry, a full suite of stainless steel appliances, and built-in laundry cleverly concealed within the cabinetry. Sliding glass doors open directly to the yard, making it easy to move between the indoors and out and expanding the footprint of the home. And the yard is a big part of what makes this home special. With room for alfresco dinners, morning coffee, pets, gardening, entertaining, or simply spreading out in the sunshine, there's a sense of space here that you wouldn't expect from a one-bedroom home. The tranquil bedroom features ductless mini-split HVAC and smart closet storage, while the sunlit bathroom pairs a light-oak vanity with warm brass fixtures and contemporary tilework. A dedicated parking space adds another layer of everyday convenience. Beyond the finishes, this is a true 2026 new build, with brand-new mechanical, roofing, electrical, plumbing, and structural systems throughout. There's very little to think about and a lot to enjoy. Located in Frogtown, you're just moments from neighborhood favorites including Spoke Bicycle Cafe, Salazar, Wax Paper, Just What I Kneaded, Lingua Franca, and the LA River Bike Path. Grab coffee, hop on the bike path, meet friends for dinner, then come home to your own private outdoor space. It's a pretty special combination: a standalone home, a generous yard, and all the ease of a brand-new build, right in the middle of one of LA's most interesting neighborhoods.
