2760 Pelham Place,
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.

There are several reasons why - the first being that Los Feliz agents with buyers who haven't yet found the perfect home are searching the listings, looking for new possibilities. When those agents see your new listing, they'll examine the photos and read the descriptions. They'll check your square footage and amenities. They'll consider your neighborhood. Then they'll weigh all those elements against the requirements of their buyers who are looking in your price range. If your home looks promising, they'll schedule a showing. As a result, a home for sale will often see the most activity in the first couple of weeks after it comes on the market. It's true that those first buyers may not be "the ones," but if your home makes a good impression on the local agents who show it, they'll be back with other buyers. On the other hand, if they believe it is over-priced, they'll avoid showing it. Agents don't want to waste their time. Next, both buyers and agents search within price ranges. Buyers who can pay up to $600,000 generally don't even look at homes priced at $675,000, nor do their agents. And buyers searching for higher priced homes may want more square footage, more amenities, or a different location. So while sellers may have the idea that they can price high and come down when there's an offer, chances are there won't be any offers. An overpriced house is simply being seen by the wrong buyers.

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.
