Hollywood Hills
Every so often a Hollywood Hills Post and Beam hits the market. Some of them mid-century homes need alot of work and others are ready to move right into. This 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom gem definitely fits into the latter category! Located up a long drive at the end of a cul-de-sac on a knoll providing panoramic views from downtown to Catalina Island.
Light spills into the living room, dining room and back bedrooms through walls of glass opening onto a flat yard and lovely views. The floorplan is open with the post and beam ceiling and corner fireplace serving to divide the living room from the dining room. Beyond the dining room is the updated kitchen, separated by a breakfast bar, making this Hollywood Hills post and beam home a perfect place for entertaining.
The kitchen has been updated with slate floors and stainless steel appliances and includes a built-in eating corner eating area with under-seat storage. Plenty of windows provide natural lighting in addition to the recessed lights.
The house itself is 1,757 square feet of living space. However, the property includes a second, flat lot totalling up to 14,510 square feet. That's plenty of room to expand the house, add a pool or simply just enjoy as it is. The outdoor entertaining area also brings in the city view and provides a feeling of privacy and seclusion.
That same spot provides this breathtaking view of the L.A. skyline and city lights below. I would certainly have no trouble living here myself! The home is currently listed with Deasy Penner & Partners for $1,249,000. Call me at 213-215-4758 if you'd like to see this love Hollywood Hills post and beam.

The Alcove Café & Bakery in Los Feliz is a great spot for lunch or dinner. The Big Bar, which opened last October is a great addition. Though there is some indoor seating, most folks opt for the outdoor patio for salads, sandwiches, desserts. Ah, those desserts! The establishment is one that has you order and pay at the counter and let a courteous staff member bring you your order when it’s ready. No problem, but while you wait for your turn to order you will see a delectable assortment of desserts behind that glass counter! Make sure to save room!
Big Bar can be reached from its own separate entrance from the Alcove patio or directly from inside the Alcove itself via a wide passageway. Big Bar has the feeling of being a part of the Alcove, but also its own thing entirely. The bar has the same relaxed vibe as the Alcove restaurant – come as you are and enjoy yourself. It’s a perfect addition to Los Feliz.
