I’m so excited about our new listing at 629 N Citrus and I’m so looking forward to hosting an open house today from 1-3!  I love that the living room has a high pitched ceiling, that you can see from the front door all the way to the backyard, and I love the large backyard that’s hedged, has a deck + so much lawn + mature trees!  The house has a newer kitchen, upgraded plumbing + electrical + roof + HVAC, and so much character and charm.  It’s super quiet inside and out, and it’s so close to Restaurant Row and around the block from Mozza Osteria!  It’s a good deal for a cute house that ‘s in move-right-in-condition!

I’m excited for our new lease at 121 S Poinsettia Pl!  This house is close to home…literally.  Our block is the best with a neighbor’s Whats App chat and an annual block party.  Everyone on the block was so sad when the owners at 121 S Poinsettia Pl moved off the block…and we’re looking for equally awesome people to fill their shoes!  The house is one story with a barrel ceiling living room that opens to the dining room.  The dining room has doors to the private enclosed front porch.  The kitchen opens to a breakfast room that’s surrounded by windows and flooded with sunshine!  There are 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms – 2 of the bedrooms are suites and both of those bedrooms have a door to the sprawling park-like yard that’s hedged with so much grassy lawn, an alfresco dining area, and a long driveway that makes a great basketball court.  The garage is converted to an ADU with a full bedroom suite. I’ll be hosting a mini open house today from 11:30 to 12:30 and I can’t wait to find our new neighbors!

I’m excited that we closed on the sale of 1107 N Citrus this week, representing the buyers.  I’m excited that both of our buyers removed all contingencies on their off market purchases on Vista St this week.  I can’t wait to see the transformation of both Vista houses post remodel!

I’m excited that we relisted 166 N McCadden for 5,399,000, which is right below the Measure ULA threshold. We also listed 166 N McCadden for lease for $25,000 a month.  With 5 beds and 6 baths in 5320 sq ft of living space in a prime location, this house is great.  Built from the ground up in 2001 by the owners for themselves, what I love about this house is the high ceilings, tall doors, grand expansive rooms, all the bedrooms en-suite, and of course the oasis backyard!  We’re excited to host an open house today 2-4 to show!

We’ve been slammed with showings at our new listing at 5601 W Olympic #301!  The offering is a 1470 sq ft penthouse condo on the opposite side of the building from Olympic.  The public rooms have floor to ceiling windows that look out to green trees, views of the hills, and a bunny rabbit who lives in the yard of an adjacent property!  There are 3 beds, 2 baths, hardwood floors, central HVAC, 2 subterranean parking spaces, and it is freshly painted and carpeted!  It is a really neat spot in a very central location!

I’m excited for our new listing at 2700 cahuenga #4303!  The offering is a top floor light and bright penthouse 2BD/2BA condo in the Cahuenga Hills Tennis Club! The guard gated resort style complex in the Hollywood Hills East, built in 1975, spans 15 lush acres and offers 3 tennis courts, 2 swimming pools, a spa, a gym, 2 saunas, 2 clubhouses, a sun deck, dog run, hiking trails, bike storage, and plentiful guest parking. We’ll be hosting an open house Tuesday 11-2 and we’re  always happy to show by private appointment any time!

My mom passed away 12/12/12, so almost 14 years ago, and it’s touching and heartwarming how often My Mom comes up in my daily interactions. On Friday I called our 1107 S Citrus buyer to say congratulations-and-thank-you; the buyer complemented his great experience, crediting My Mom for the lessons she taught me!  At parties on Shabbat, multiple people mentioned how before the holidays they’d enjoy asking My Mom for recipes & cooking advice in the produce aisle of the grocery store.  On Shabbat afternoon I read Eliyahu and Nechama Don’t Touch My Room, which My Mom purchased for $1 from the library book sale in 1986!  I happened upon an elderly woman at the market recently and having My Mom in mind, I drove the woman home just the way My Mom would have done it – giving her a hug and helping her to her door with her packages. What I miss most about My Mom is her enthusiasm, curiosity, and zest for life! My Mom got so much enjoyment from long passionate conversations on the phone, intentionally doing kind things for others, beautiful fashion + design + flowers + good deals, outdoor fitness + exercise, and loving her grandchildren.  My Mom had amazing taste, she was a great cook, and she had a real flair for figuring out how to get things just right.  Mom would visit my house for a meal, she’d ask me for a recipe, and then she’d always tweak it and make it way better.  Mom loved taking leftover food from my fridge and dropping it off to be shared with others. Mom was such a hard worker, and she had unending patience to keep at things until she got it just right. Mom especially loved the Jewish holidays and so when the holidays get close, I always miss her the most.  Now that she’s not here, I’m grateful for all the time we spent together and how I loved her entirely with all my heart and soul!

Come visit us at open houses today – it will be nice and cool inside!!!!

Xoxoxo,

Sheri
