3 Hours Exploring Los Feliz and Silverlake

This week we decided to head East to Los Feliz and Silverlake.  With Samantha driving her new Acura and me using every last drop of power on my iphone navigating our way, we were able to see 11 properties.  We had a great day and actually liked them all, so selecting the highlights was a bit of a challenge.  Here we go.....

Our first stop on the way was this triplex in Hancock Park.  It had two large, fully updated 2 bedroom/2bathroom units in the main bldg and a sweet one bedroom unit above the garage in the back.  These units are currently vacant and will definitely attract substantial rents (projected combined rents are $$6250/mo).  It's priced at $899,000 and would be a good income property for a lucky investor.

Crown molding and large windows throughout

amazing kitchen for a rental unit

Nice sized 1 bedroom unit on top of the garage

Next Highlight was this 1930's California Bungalow on a spacious corner lot in Silverlake with 3 bedrooms/2 baths and priced at $879,000.  

We especially loved the landscaping

and the lightfilled large rooms

Kitchen had original cabinets updated with caesarstone counter tops and professional range

the entire second floor was a roomy and very private master suite

also included in the master was this large closet and bathroom with view

backyard had thoughtful landscaping, entertainment deck and a finished garage for home office

Up some narrow, curvy roads and near the Silverlake reservoir, we found this charming Spanish home tucked into the hills with lots of light, pretty outdoor living spaces and beautiful views.  This one offered 2 bedrooms and 3 baths, priced at $799,000.

Inviting front porch view great view of reservoir

living room with accent wall and high pitched ceiling

cute outdoor patio on the first level where we had a yummy burrito snack

upstairs there were two bedrooms, both flooded with light

each bedroom had it's own vintage bathroom

upper deck with hot tub had this amazing lake view

Our next favorite was this 1900's bungalow that had just been through a major reinvention.  Samantha had a client who had seriously considered purchasing this one when it was a fixer about a year ago, so she was especially excited to see how well it had been transformed into a beautiful home - 3 bedroom/2baths and listed for $749,000.

perfectly modernized outside

and in!

Next stop was Atwater Village to see this income property - 2 small houses on a lot - both houses were in great shape and had lots of vintage character.  The front house was 2 bedrooms/1 bath and smaller house in back had 1 bedroom/1bath.  Nice landscaping too!

vintage details beautifully preserved

updated eat in kitchen with lots of storage

 traditional style back house shares lush backyard

Luckily we had some time to head up to see this 2 bedroom/2 bath Condo in a mid-century hi-rise bldg on Los Feliz Blvd.  I've always wondered what this bldg was like and was happy to have the opportunity to see one of the units.  This Condo was on the 5th floor and offered great views.  $535,000

Corner Unit with wrap around balcony

gallery like modern minimalism - love the concrete floors

modern fixtures thru out also make this a very special condo and a great buy

Last we made it in at the last moment to see this brand new gated community of 14 modern single family homes in Hollywood.  Very cool!  These homes are all multi level, offer 3 or 4 bedroom variations and 3.5 baths. Most were priced between $749,000 and $810,000.

All new construction - 10 of the 14 units are now ready for sale

Huge open floor plans, each unit has 4 levels

high end finishes

large comfortable modern living

each home also had a large private rooftop deck with wet bar and fantastic views

Whew - what a fun day!
