Unexpected Pleasures

I had the pleasure today of seeing some unexpected beautiful and unique LA homes.  My colleague and fellow Red Group member, Samantha Allen and I randomly picked a few  listings to visit, mostly based on price and/or location.  We had no idea when we set out how exciting the day would become.

First stop was this very special 1920's Mediterranean courtyard style 3 bedroom/2bath Condo in a 4 unit bldg in Hancock Park Adjacent Windsor Village - Very unexpected to find a large, beautiful condo like this for $679,000!

the spacious kitchen would be great as is, but also offered lots of modern possibility

Huge rooms throughout - yes it was a condo!

and in addition to a private outdoor courtyard, it also included a shared swimming pool

Next a few blocks South, we found this perfectly remodeled, beautifully designed 3 bedroom/2bath room 1558 SF house listed for $699,000. Now we were on a roll!

Open floor plan gave this home a very spacious feel

Kitchen made for easy entertaining

beautiful bath!

loved the new maple hardwood floors

3rd on the list was this 3 bedroom/3 bathroom classic Spanish home on a prime block in Hancock Park listed for $1,379,000.  The kitchen needed some quick work, but the rest of the house was intact with some very special touches.

We made our way out to West LA to see this spectacular 2 story modern residence located in Westside Village, an area I had never spent time in before.  This home had been designed by it's architect owners and featured in Metropolitan Home as Home of the Year/Honorable Mention in 2001.  Listed at $1,450,000 this is one I could also easily move right into.

these bookshelves looked like they were designed for the house

Great mix of modern and rustic in the kitchen

Sunny and bright bedrooms offered great views

Our last stop took us to the Palms/Mar Vista area where we scoped out another exceptional 3 bedroom/2 bathroom find priced at $659,000.  This house had so many great decor details, but unfortunately most of them didn't make their way into the pics.  I might have to go back to the Open House there next Sunday just to sneak some of my own for future decorating reference.

Wow, that's a lot of pics.  A great example of how a day in the world of real estate can be so unexpectedly fun!  Remember if you are interested in any of the properties on this blog or in buying or selling a home, please contact me, Deborah Wolsh at 310-433-0385 or email deborah@morgan-re.com.  Until next Tuesday......
