Chicken Nuggets in Pizza Stores🍕-Real Estate Blog

I’m excited to close on the sale of 623 N Fuller today!  The list price was 2,600,000 and it’s trading right around the list price.  The offering was a 1698 sq ft single story 3 bed 2 bath charming remodeled home in front, a 1435 sq ft 2 story ADU in back, a large grassy yard with palm trees, and a pool with a jacuzzi in the center of it. The lot is generous at 7411 square feet.  This house had a lot of traffic and interest. One buyer committed to jumping on it, to the consternation of all those thinking and circling (same story we see on every house today.) We’re excited for our lovely seller who is a pleasure to work with each time we have the honor to represent her!

 

I’m excited about our new lease listing at 151 S Vista.  The house is a charming character vintagey single story traditional home with 3 beds + 2.5 baths + private grassy yard, close to The Grove + Pan Pacific Park! The living room is surrounded by windows, and the dining room is spacious and opens to the kitchen. The kitchen is large, with a center island, abundant storage, and a breakfast area. Two bedrooms share a bath, and one bedroom suite has a fireplace and built-ins, opens to the yard, and has an en-suite 3/4 bath. There are original real wood hardwood floors, central AC, and lots of character details. A sweet grassy yard with a mature tree and a freestanding garage for parking or storage rounds out the offering. The location is perfect!  The house is easy to show and available immediately!

 

We just lowered the price on 1056 S Ridgeley to 2,195,000.  That house is in move-in-ready condition with public space that’s airy and open, a kitchen with a center island, and 3 bedrooms – 2 of which are suites and open to the oasis backyard.  The private hedged and gated yard is amazing with a new saltwater pool, barbecue, outdoor living area, and fabulous backhouse. The backhouse has vaulted ceilings, kitchen, and bathroom, and it opens entirely to the pool area.  The location is quiet and the house is surrounded by amazing neighbors.  The buyer attracted to this house is likely as sweet and lovely as the current owner!

 

We’re staging 1053-1055 S Hudson today and dropping the price to 1,899,000 when we load as a new listing. The offering is a fully vacant character Cratsman duplex with a unique wraparound porch upstairs.  The upstairs unit has 4 beds and 1.5 baths; the downstairs has 3 beds and 1.5 baths.  The owner has RTI plans (that took many months to get) to convert the garages into ADU’s.  The curb appeal is unique and different from the surrounding properties.  Creative buyers have been buying duplexes and using them as single family homes.  This property has an interior staircase so it could work well as a single family home, also easy to do because it’s vacant and free of tenants.  It’s easy to show any time!

 

We’re dropping the price on 949 Kings #110 to 899,000.  The offering is a 2 bed 2 bath condo on the first floor in a prime West Hollywood location close to Santa Monica Blvd!  The condo is remodeled and in move-right-in condition and the HOA amenities include a pool and sauna!  Our clients loved this space until they outgrew it!

 

Nechama has a new listing for lease at 130 S McCadden.  The spacious Hancock Park home is almost 5000 square feet, has 5 bedrooms + a bonus room upstairs, and is in a beautiful quiet prime location.  It’s an opportunity for a future Hancock Park homeowner to get into the neighborhood at a significantly lower monthly cost than it would be to purchase, and to fall in love and anticipate moving on to homeownership at the end of the lease period.

 

Our trip to the east coast was magical!  Even though everyone laughed, I had to order one of everything intriguing on the menu for all of us (Seth, me, 2 sons, 2 daughters in law) to share and taste at Yakov’s 30th birthday dinner!  Seth and I loved driving carpool to pick up Eliyahu, age 4, from school.  I got out of the car and Eliyahu jumped up + down and told his teacher, “THAT’S MY GRANDMA!” and he ran with arms stretched wide for a huge “squeezy” hug!  When we got back from taking Eliyahu and Nechama for hot dogs, 2 yr old Nechama reported, “Grandma got me chicken nuggets in a pizza store!” Seth and I loved spending the day in NYC with Avigail + Chaim, riding all the escalators + elevators from the ground floor to the ninth floor in Saks Fifth Avenue, walking the bustling decorated streets past the ice skating rink at Rockefeller Center, and marveling at the displays + toy demonstrations in FAO Schwartz!  NYC is always enchanting, more so in December with wide-eyed exuberant company!  Even though Seth and I are still adjusting to empty nesting, it is fun to always be counting down the days until our next trip to visit all the people far away who we love with our whole heart and soul!

 

Interest rates went down some! Citi is advertising 30 year fixed rates (before relationship discounts) at 6.375 and ARMS at 5.875.  Now is the last licks to buy a property with a loan in 2024!

 

Have an awesome week!
