Happy in The Hollywood Hills

There was an abundance of homes open today in the Hollywood Hills, so I decided to focus up there.  All the winding and disconnected streets in those hills made it difficult for me to see as many as I had hoped, but I did get in about 5 and they were ALL GOOD. 

1) First off was this excellent 3 bdrm/ 2.5 bath Fixer high up in the Beachwood Canyon area.  This property was swarming with agents and investors, so I’m sure there will be a lot of fast activity on it -  it’s priced at $899,000.  The view alone was worth that.  Still, when I first pulled up I considered just moving on.  The exterior looked so ordinary:

Luckily I got out of the car.  Check out this amazing 1940’s Deco/mid-century split-level interior:

and thru this door:

this incredible pool & deck

that offered this awesome 270 degree view

 

You could see the Hollywood Sign behind the house, the hills of Griffith Park, Downtown and the ocean.  Pictures just don’t do this impressive location justice.  Even with this exposure, this property was amazingly private.

The kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms in this house were small and require some reworking and imagination to make them live up to the rest of this house.  A very exciting project for some very lucky buyer.

2) Next up was this very charming one-story 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom Connecticut style home in the Hollywood Dell area priced at $949,000.  This property was completely remodeled, gated and hedged – very private exterior, very cozy interior. The perfect retreat for a single person.

I especially loved the spacious and open floor plan of this house.  Here’s the living room portion of the room with fireplace

The dining area.  The bench blocks the best view of it, but I really loved this intimate built in banquette:

Kitchen with pitched and beamed ceiling and Sub-Zero refrigerator:

Master Suite featured a separate sitting room/office, walk-in closet and bathroom.

The grounds were lush and private with several intimate outdoor courtyard areas offering the perfect space for entertaining on a small or large scale.

In addition to the rooms I’ve shown here there was also a guest room and bath.  I’m sure whoever ends up with this one will have a hard time getting their overnight guests to leave this sanctuary.

3) Of course, I’ve left the best for last.  My absolute favorite of the day was this 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom remodeled mid-century architectural home in the Outpost/Mulholland area.  It’s priced at $1,095,000

I walked in thru the foyer below 

and my eyes literally popped open when I saw the view.  

Utterly explosive!

Here’s another angle of the main floor living room/Dining Room/Kitchen Area

There are two bedrooms that look like this on the main level (one is used as an office)  

And a colorful bathroom

This house just got better and better with every step.  Or in this case every stair.  The whole lower level was the master suite…. one of the best master suites that I have ever seen!!

If this was my bedroom I don't think I would ever leave….

Here’s what’s right outside of those floor to ceiling sliding glass doors

and the view at night. 

Can you tell I Want it!

Unfortunately, my day got cut short by a mini-escrow crisis so instead of a treat I got a big dose of stress.  Oh well, getting to see these homes was reward enough for my efforts this week!
