THE HUNT HAS BEGUN! I am in search of our new bungalow. A place to call our own. I'd like to find something before the end of November. This bungalow, while true it's very sad (they call it a major fixer or a tear down), has an excellent location. Very close to my husband's work. We are looking for a "project" yet this is out of our price range. We're thinking of asking $90,000 less. Currently it's on the market for $490,000 and has been on the market for 253 days. I think it's time they lower they price. I'm thinking it's a family owned house and they know what the area is worth, so they're wanting as much money as possible. Which is absolutely understandable, but clearly it isn't selling for that amount. Might have foundation issues.
This is the bonus of the house. The view is wonderful. It overlooks Burbank. Yes, that's smog in the background, but we like to think of it as haze.
This is a house we put an offer in on, yet haven't looked inside. Price $345,000 990 sq ft. and believe it or not, it's a cheap price. The video starts at the back of the driveway and continues to the front of the house. As much as I love the tree, I'm afraid it would have to go.
We are going to look inside this house on Wednesday. Our offer that was submitted has expired so we are starting from scratch. It's a short sale and that's a new experience for us. We'll see how it looks and then decide if we want to put in an offer. It's farther from my husband's work so his commute would start to hedge around 40 minutes, although he's not sure.
This is an antique store in Agora Hills that is brimming with eye candy. I love to daydream in here.
I'm going to Colorado for the holidays so I won't be posting anything thru the holidays and New Years. Hope you find joy as the close of the year nears.
While this bungalow may not have the Spanish charm we love, we put an offer on it today. It has only been on the market for 3 days and already there is an offer pending. We went ahead and decided to put our chip in the pot to see if we could be a backup offer. This neighborhood is wonderful. There are mature trees lining the street. It's very near Paramount Studios. We haven't seen inside, but these days that's just a detail if the price is right and the location is good. We'll see how this goes.
I can't help but be drawn to the architectural features of these. And look how the mirrors are layered on the wall. I stumbled upon this nursery, Rolling Greens Nursery in Culver City. It's magical with lots of different areas to get lost in. They are opening up a second place just a stones throw from our place. I may have to apply for a part-time position.
This is a sweet hillside bungalow, that investors currently own. We found out about it and have been tracking it for about 6 months. Finally we were able to see inside. 
Quaint interior. Very small. 1 Bedroom, 1 bath. 840 sq. ft. Vaulted ceiling with beams. Sliding doors to porch that overlooks the city. When we went to the backyard, we noticed the structural crack. Can you say "Run!"?
Take a peek inside the house starting in the makeshift basement and walking up the steps. We felt it had such charm, but the foundation issue is very intimidating. We'll pass on this one.
