Sherman Oaks Mid-Century Value on 11,000+ Sq. Ft Lot

I am going to be posting more homes in this area soon I think, as I see a ton of great ranch style homes built in the 50's & 60's in Sherman Oaks available right now. The thing that caught my eye with this particular property is the price, due to the recent $100,000 price reduction, as well as the over 11,000 sq. ft lot. This, along with it's original "Eichler style," according to the listing, open floor plan affords it's owner a ton of potential. Enjoy immediately and upgrade over time, or grab your designer and create your dream space.

Mid-Century Modern in Los Feliz

I have seen this property listed on an off a few times now in the past year, and never understood why. It looks great, at least in the pictures anyways. This is a very popular architectural style in Los Angeles and in a good Los Feliz location, so one would think it would be snatched up fairly quickly. The open floor plan with high ceilings and walls of glass is ideal, especially since they lead out to some nice views. The kitchen is highly upgraded with Viking range, Bosh dishwasher, and limestone counters. There is also a great master suite with spa like bath, all leading out to zen like garden.

I think the listing agent in this case does a great job with the write up, so wanted to post directly:

"AUTHENTIC FREE STANDING LOFT BUILDING! A rare opportunity to own a creative space and storefront along eclectic Hyperion Avenue in the heart of Silver Lake. Zoned LIVE/WORK, the property is currently used as a photographer studio but truly has almost limitless potential - for either a business, residence or both.

Well said.

Great Listing but Limited Activity, Why?

I have been racking my brain constantly trying to decipher why I am not getting very many calls on this one listing, while others are getting a ton of activity. I am using the exact same strategies and marketing avenues, but with a much different result. Of course this particular listing is deep in the Valley, while others are "over the hill;" however, I got to think it is more than just that right? This is a great home for a large family, as it has six bedrooms! It is also in an A+ prime school district. The high school in the district, El Camino Real, has won something like five out of the last ten national academic decathlons. I assumed that this listing would appeal to families, and those people would not be as concerned with designer finishes, etc, and just want a lot of space in a good neighborhood that works for their family. This property does not have updated to the 9's baths and kitchens, but what it does have is a great floor plan, privacy, an entertainer's backyard with pool and hot tub, and in a great neighborhood. On top of all that it is priced very well, as we have reduced the price $80,000 since the original listing price.

Just Reduced to $599,000 6 Bed 3 Bath 2472 Sq. Ft 11,160 Sq. Ft Lot

See a detailed tour of the property at http://23515candlewood.com

This is a very good opportunity for a person with a large family, or for someone who works from home perhaps and could use the extra rooms. It is in a great area, on a good quiet street, and is extremely quiet and private. Let me know your thoughts on this one please, and if you think it is priced right. It has been reduced substantially, and is ready for an offer. This could be a great time to get a ton of value for you and your family, and start 2011 off right in your new home. If you are interested in seeing it in person, please contact us anytime @ 310.600.9172 or email smilayproperties@gmail.com.

Interesting Experience w/ Lease Listing

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?
