Year End Abundance

This week I hopped in the car with two of my colleagues from RED,  John Barrentine and Chuck Marquant, to see what was new on the market.  Since the year is winding down, my expectations were low and I didn't expect to see many properties of interest, but we were all pleasantly surprised to see a number of surprisingly nice houses.  Here are the highlights:

This remodeled California Bungalow in Spaulding Square ($1,169,000) with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths :

Beautifully Landscaped

With big open floor plan

Love the mix of modern and traditional

added bonus of a family/media room

backyard with great layout and flow

and even a gym!

Next we found this reimagined Spanish Revival in the Melrose strip - 4 bedrooms, 3 baths.  Listed at $1,397,000 - we were told by the listing agent that it already had 5 offers well over asking.

Large hedge and gate offered lots of privacy

Open Floor Plan offered Great Room with Gourmet Kitchen

Very spacious living

Glamourous master suite with tiled bath and direct access to private patio

 Another find this week was this Spanish Oasis located at the end of a cul-de-sac in Musuem Square area of Miracle Mile.  With 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, it's listed for $1,175,000 and is a great example of a home that although extensively remodeled,  still offers a multitude of it's original architectural details.

Secluded and Beautiful courtyard at the front of the house

Spectacular living room with corner fireplace and open beam trusses

Gourmet kitchen with Bosch and Viking appliances and center island

Another great outdoor entertainment space and converted bonus room in the back.

Last, we headed up to Outpost in Hollywood to see this 5 bedroom/4.5 bathroom newly constructed Mediterranean Home.  Priced at $2,250,000, we were all impressed with the size.

20's era elegance

with modern conveniences

Soaring vaulted ceilings and cherry wood flooring thru out

Master Bath with Spa tub and steam shower

Well, that's it for this mid-December week.  Who knows what next week will bring, as the holidays closely approach, but that's what I love about real estate - you just never know what next week will offer!

Modern Touches

This week I had a lot on my agenda to pack into three hours so I decided to go it alone. First stop was in Los Feliz to visit one of our upcoming RED listings during the photo shoot.  The house was fantastic and an exciting way to start caravan. 2bedrooms/1 bath $849,000.

vaulted ceilings and hardwood floors - this house can accommodate any taste

cleanly updated kitchen

more style in the dining room

The saltwater pool and spa is the house's real selling point

There was too much to see today back in the Miracle Mile area, so I didn't dwell on the East side.  Luckily, I was able to zip back quickly to see everything on my list.  First favorite was this partially updated Spanish duplex in the Beverly Grove Area.  Both units (up and down) were 2 bedrooms/1 bath  - priced at $1,299,000.

Next stop took me to the Culver City Arts District where I'd been looking forward to seeing this smaller home 1,175 sq ft, 2 bedroom, 2bath ($799,000).  I loved it!

Last stop of the day, was another one I'd been eyeing - a renovated bungalow in Pic Fair Village -actually turns out it's a duplex.  There's a single family 2 bedroom/2 bath home in the front and a legal 2nd 1 bedroom/ 1 bath unit above the garage (all for $849,000).  Lucky for me, they were serving lunch here from the neighborhood cafe, Paper+Plastik Cafe.  I couldn't have found a better way to finish my day.

New kitchen comes with Bosch appliances
