Second Chances!

When this house hit the market in April of this year, I walked in… and promptly walked out.  In spite of my revulsion, it sold for way over asking ($775K) in just 13 days. It was a project, to say the least and I didn’t have anyone brave enough in my arsenal to take it on.  But someone did!

This house has been completely and wonderfully re-conceived and brought up to a standard befitting the celeb-lined street north of Los Feliz Blvd.  As you can see below, the house was a dog with seemingly very little potential.  However, possessing a keen eye and a strong stomach, its new owner has miraculously transformed the home (inside and out) into a true beauty.  At $1,175,000 it is priced well for the area.  A $400,000 profit in 6 months, you might ask.  My answer is: pull the comps!  It is a move-in ready, completely updated, stylishly finished pad at $581/SF.

If you are looking for a low maintenance house with charm and style, this one won’t last long.

Guacamole Anyone?

There were some great houses on Caravan this week.  This totally updated, lovingly restored, 1912 Craftsman in the heart of Los Feliz Village was among them.  Boasting 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms it has been impeccably maintained and is ready for move-in. It is listed at $849,000, $6,000 less than its sale price in 2006 when it went for over asking.

Check out the pictures below!  Refreshingly, they are an accurate representation of this property.  When you get to this home you won't scratch your head, looking for the house you saw online or check the curb to make sure you are at the correct address. This house lives up to the hype!  You know what I'm talking about.  With many listings, the house in the picture is a lot more appealing than the actual house itself.

Believe these pictures! This home is immaculate and definitely worth taking a look at if it is within your budget. If you have kids, they can attend Franklin Elementary. It’s a quick walk to both Hillhurst and Vermont. Griffith Park is around the corner and my office is just down the street so let me know if you want to see it! MintzRE.com
