Silver Lake Real Estate

Whoever said that the high end market in Silver Lake is dead, is dead-wrong.  Take a look at this listing here on one of the best streets in Silver Lake in the Ivanhoe Elementary School boundary.

This home was listed on the open market last week for a total of 7 days before receiving multiple offers.  We are expecting that the Seller will be receiving more than the $1,120,000 list price.

What does this mean when a home sells in 7 days.  This tells the market that there is a pent-up demand for mid-century modern homes similar to this in Silver Lake.

So far year-to-date as of 9/2/2010, Silver Lake has only seen 6 single family home sales selling over the $1,000,000 mark.  How many more will we see this year?

This is the opportunity that every Architectural home buyer has been waiting for.  The James Eads How House has now had another price reduction down to $1,895,000.  We think that this home is now realistically priced to sell.

Modern architecture fans, take a look at this newly listed 3 bed, 3.5 bath home in Silver Lake.  Three words describe this place:  open, minimal, & pristine.

It was designed by local architect, and writer, Orhan Ayyuce, whose projects include the Cubes, Mastoris House, and Metropolis Books.  Orhan is a senior editor at archinect.com, an extensive website for architecture geeks.

The open kitchen, dining, living room is stunning with features that include walnut floors, marble counter tops, skylight, and fireplace.  The uninhibited flow throughout makes great sense for entertaining–and just plain living.

Walls of windows=always good.  Well, maybe, except when you’re walking around the house naked.  But, hey, the adjacent, vacant lot is for sale too!

This home is quite a showpiece, perfect for an architecture buff who lives a minimalist lifestyle.  Let’s face it, it would be a shame for someone to move in with a ton of clutter and junk.

I like to call people who profit from other people’s death the Ghoul Patrol.  People in the entertainment industry have been doing this for years and have been making a killing.  Let’s take a look at the house Michael Jackson died in.  The home is now currently on the market and a 7 bedroom, 13 bathroom mansion with over 17,000 square feet listed at $28,995,000.  The home’s hefty price tag comes with one of the best locations on the Westside, Holmby Hills.

The interior decorations reminds me of the Victorian Era.  I can just imagine Queen Victoria walking into any of these rooms at any minute.  This is not exactly how I imagined the self proclaimed “King of Pop” to be living.

Who do you think the buyer is for this house?  Is it the city of Los Angeles, a museum, maybe a super fan, a member of the ghoul patrol?  Will people be spooked?  Would you be spooked living here?

Take a look at this 3 bed, 3.5 bath architectural home, new to the market in the East Hollywood Hills.  The soaring ceilings, umpteen, glorious windows, and truly spectacular views (including the Hollywood sign) imbue this home with an ethereal character.

The sharp, galley kitchen is fit for a master chef, equipped with the best appliances and wine storage.  Get a load of that humongous stove–it means business!

The master suite is complete with this artfully designed bathroom which features a large spa tub and a steam shower.

If you appreciate clean, modern design, you’ll be charmed by the masterful details from the built-in shelves, to the ingenious curtains for all those great big windows.

In the original seller’s description, one boasts, “Terraces, koi pond, waterfall, wonderful lush garden w/ walking paths near Beachwood Village.”  This all sounds wonderful, but all we are given is this picture of some chickens–in a cage.  Yeah, nobody wants to see all that fluff.  The chickens will definitely sell the place!
