Like every other aspect of real estate (and everything
else), time management is important.
I try to apply my time management skills to caravan. Most weeks I have an idea of what area or neighborhood I want to focus on, and the day before I plan
exactly where I want to go. But
then there are days like yesterday. Yes, I had a list, but it was way too
long and covered a distance way too wide.
I couldn't decide where to focus, so I just started driving and
gave in to... randomness. I made
it to over 12 houses - Here's a sampling of where I went:
I followed the signs outside my office to this
Larchmont Village gem. As I was
leaving, I ran into the seller who turned out to be one my clothing store's customers. I loved the house - so
fun to see where my customers live.
3 Bedrooms, 1.75 baths, and a huge two story guest house for $1,489,000.
 |
| Great location, a block away from Larchmont Village |
 |
| This house exudes romance in every room |
 |
| Concrete counters in updated kitchen aren't for everyone, but I love them! |
 |
| Another nice feature of this home - each bedroom has it's own outdoor garden or patio |
 |
| so Pretty! |
 |
| Lots of relaxing and secluded outdoor living spaces |
 |
| Master bedroom with lovely seating area |
 |
| Huge two story guesthouse villa is a real bonus |
This Historical 3 story townhouse condo in Hollywood caught
my attention and drew me over that way.
It turned out to be the most memorable sighting of the day. The unit was part of an 8 unit garden
complex that was built in the 1920's by Paramount Pictures for its
writers. I assumed the Hollywood
location would be a real negative, but it actually ended up to be a very clean and quiet street. In addition, the unit comes
with on-site parking, so you can park on the property and walk thru the courtyard to your home - This place is exacctly why I love real estate in LA! 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths $599,000 ($340
HOD).
 |
| Sweet Courtyard entry lined with gardens |
 |
| Sunny contemporary kitchen |
 |
| Dramatic interior with soaring 18 foot ceilings, skylights and adobe fireplace |
 |
| another angle shows the open staircase to the two additional levels |
 |
| Master bedroom on 2nd Floor overlooks the garden |
 |
| Baths are also nicely updated |
 |
| 3rd Level loft area is perfect for a home office or 2nd bedroom |
 |
| The townhouse also has a great enclosed outdoor dining and entertainment deck. |
Next I ventured down to my own neighborhood, Longwood
Highlands, to get inside this recent renovation. I've noticed the work in progress on this home since it's only
two blocks away from my own, but I had no idea that it was being done by one of
my favorite flippers - Better Shelter.
On the exterior this house is very bland, and lacks
character. But the inside was another
story. 3 Bedrooms, 2 baths,
$895,000 with guest house.
 |
| Exterior could use some further enhancement |
 |
| Inside is the opposite -love the high vaulted ceilings |
 |
| and open spaces that flow from living room to |
 |
| Spacious Dining Area |
 |
| to kitchen with nice wood cabinetry and carrera mable |
 |
| Lots of great natural light in this home |
 |
| love the black tile flooring in this bathroom |
 |
| backyard has lots of possibilities |
 |
| there's even a good sized back house for a guests or work |
My last find of the day was this newly renovated
luxurious and MODERN Bachleor style party pad in West Hollywood with large
open spaces and lots of light. 2 Bedrooms, 3 baths $1,349,000,
 |
| This updated Spanish has a modern edge |
 |
| well sized rooms and high ceilings |
 |
| Large open kitchen with stainless steel cabinetry |
 |
| Both bathrooms include high design elements |
 |
| drought resistant landscaped yard and lounge area |
 |
| another great Garage/Studio with bath |
Well my random day turned out pretty satisfying - even without a plan!
