Is This The Coolest House in LA?

in

This home exemplifies modern architecture at it's finest. Lying on arguably the best "bird street" is this futuristic property created by architect Zoltan Pali in 2006. Hovering high above the city at the top of the Hollywood Hills, every room has commanding views through the floor to ceiling walls of glass throughout. High end appliances and finishes throughout, custom cabinetry in the kitchen, and a dynamic wide open floor plan. The home has special details, including a mirrored alcove for one to see into the pool from the billiards room, and a full fledged nightclub. Maybe it is not the best for a traditional family, but it sure is cool.

Hollywood Development

in
All of these buildings are new within the last ten years. From the Hollywood and Highland complex that started the resurgence in the area to new hotels to multiple new apartment and condo buildings. I wonder what the next decade will bring to Hollywood, both in terms of goods and services, and skyline. I think there will be more high-rise type structures, and definitely more mixed use buildings for modern conveniences. What do you think?

Upgraded Traditional w/ A Modern Twist; Los Feliz

in

3801 Aloha St, Los Feliz

769,000 3 Bed 2 Bath 1,380Sq. Ft 5,000 Sq. Ft Lot

Lying in a good Los Feliz neighborhood, just blocks to all the restaurants and shopping on Vermont, is this updated 1940's traditional home. I am a finish guy myself, so put a lot of stock in nice high end finishes, as I think they add so much to a property. This one has exactly that, with a high end kitchen with Viking appliances and bathrooms with Duravit fixturing. The living room is nice as well, as it has a great open floor plan and is flooded with natural light due to a ton of large windows surrounding the property.

Listing Courtesy of Tracy B Do - Prudential California, Los Feliz

This is a well upgraded property with high end finishes in a really good location at a good price. Rarely do properties in this price range come with top of the line modern finishes.

Interesting Experience w/ Lease Listing

in

I have had this listing for a month now, and have had probably at least six interested parties tell me how much they love the property and definitely want it. Several of these prospective tenant's have gone so far as to submit applications and have their credit ran, and even given financial documentation to support and verify their applications. In the end, not sure what changes, but have just had many of them frankly flake. It is something I just don't understand. If you want a property for you and your family, it's available and let's do it. The people not willing to sign the dotted line once the time comes just perplexes me. Because of these people, the property is still unbelievably still available. It is such a deal and a nice house. Who's going to actually follow through and get to enjoy this fine property in the Hollywood Hills?
