As I drove around today, I realized my reactions to houses can be categorized in one out of 3 different ways. I either 1) get excited and immediately want to start spreading the word, 2) feel like "Hmmmm nice, but lacks personality" or 3) just want to run away!
The following 4 small gems all elicited reaction #1 today. It's especially satisfying to see so many great properties at attractive price points in very accessible parts of LA.
1) Wilshire Vista 2bdrm, 2 ba updated Spanish - spacious rooms, lots of light, nice layout. $629,000

2) My favorite of the day - Newly remodeled and upgraded Craftsman 3bd, 2ba Bungalow in Country Club Park. This is a great largely unknown neighborhood just on the outskirts of Hancock Park. I loved how the extensive original woodwork in the house was preserved, yet given a lighter, more modern approach in all the right places. In addition to the 3 bedrooms, there was also a nice sized office/den. This one's priced at $539,000. I want it!

3) Another Charming Wilshire Vista home - 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom. This one had the most personality and warmth. Although it looks small on the outside, the interior was actually quite spacious. It would be very easy to live here.
4) Last but not least, I made my way up to Beachwood Canyon in the Hollywood Hills to see this Mid-Century. This house had an unobstructed panorama of truly amazing views. To the right was the Hollywood Sign, Straight ahead was the Griffith Observatory, to the right a postcard shot of the Downtown Skyline. There was also a studio/office space and 1/2 ba accessible thru a separate entrance downstairs, and lots of room on that level to expand. $799,000
