Silver Lake Area Real Estate News And Information: December 2009

Looking for a Distressed Sale in Los Feliz?

Most of the bank owned and short sale properties in Silver Lake and Los Feliz have been in the lower price ranges.  If you have been looking for a great deal on a view home in the Los Feliz hills, this might be the opportunity you have been waiting for. This is a short sale with two loans but both with the same bank.  There is no reason to fear a short sale. The patient buyer could end up with the best deal in Los Feliz.

4020 Woking Way is a charming character traditional in the prime Los Feliz Hills with spectacular views of the city and mountains.  The 2100+ sf of living space consists of 3 bedrooms , 2 baths, kitchen, dining and living rooms on the first floor. The lower level family room with fireplace accesses the back yard and patio.

The home has a nice layout but the views are the real selling feature. I might even ENJOY doing dishes with a view like that above the sink!

Last sold for $1,100,000 in May of 2008, the current asking price of $899,000 is bound to bring many offers. It's rare to see a Los Feliz home of this quality for less than $1,000,000. There's not much time to see it before offers are submitted to the bank.  See it today from Noon-3PM and 12/20 1PM-4PM or call me and I'll schedule an appointment. But hurry!  All offers will be reviewed 12/21/2009 at 5PM.

Elysian Heights Story Book Cottage with views of the Hollywood Hills!

This is the perfect house for lovers of old architecture who want an unspoiled canvas to work with. The thick walls, curved fireplace and original windows and hardware make this a magnet for those that appreciate craftsmanship.  Put that together with a great location in the hills of Echo Park directly across from Elysian Park and amazing views from multiple windows and what else could you want?  The "moat and drawbridge' entrance to the front drawer only add to the charm.

I expected this Echo Park home to sell the first week it was on the market.  Priced at $675,000, this 1900+sf house has much to offer.  See it this Sunday from 1-4 or call me for a showing. I'm a fan of old architecture and don't need much of an excuse to go back for another look!
