2085 Balmer Dr Los Angeles Ca 90039

When we saw this home in Silver Lake we were excited because Balmer is such a great street and very few homes come on the market because of just that reason. So this Spanish 3br 1.75ba was a something we were looking forward to seeing and we weren't disappointed. With a large living room, vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors and fireplace it's nice from the minute you walk in. Then there's a step up dining room which leads to a bright kitchen with a breakfast area. There's a laundry room as well as a interesting office space that the current owners use as a computer room. We like the large, private back yard which is great for children and pets. There's a tiled area for entertaining as well and the systems have been updated so that's a plus. The best part is that you can walk to the lake, shops and even the school, yet you feel like you're higher up in the hills. All this and the Ivanhoe School District. This house will sell and most likely get multiple offers. If you would like more information on this house or any others in the area please e-mail mrivanhoespecialist@gmail.com or call 323-839-3936.

When we saw this house, we loved the jaw dropping city and mountain views!



2981 Waverly Dr Los Angeles Ca 90039
This Mid-Century Post & Beam by noted architect Murray Siegel, AIA in the prestigious Los Feliz/Silver Lake hills is a 3 bed/2bath home.
It has high wood-beamed ceilings & an open kitchen with granite counters, custom cabinets, Sub-Zero refrigerator & stainless appliances. Walls of glass surround a open kitchen/dining/living room floor plan with dual casement sliders that open directly onto a spacious covered patio that's perfect year round entertaining. There's a flat backyard with lush landscaping and more views. We like the Master suite that features a walk-in shower and its own private patio. The remodeled baths and kitchen with designer fixtures and Walker Zanger tiles and counters are nice. With hardwood floors, newer roof, driveway, garage door opener,central heat/air, copper plumbing and electrical it's in good shape. There's a fireplace, skylight and alarm system as well access inside from the garage. And best of all it's just around the corner from Ivanhoe. In our opinion of the houses currently on the market on this street we like this one the best.

Newest listing in Ivanhoe


2237 Panorama Terrace
Because there aren't many homes in this price range on the market we were excited to see this 4br 2ba Charming Cape Cod. The home has been owned by the same family for many years and the over all condition is good. Bright & sunny living room w/a fireplace and built in bookcases that opens to a spacious wood deck w/picturesque views of the Silver Lake & Los Feliz hills! Nice formal dining room and hardwood floors are in good shape throughout. The kitchen and baths look like they may have been updated in the past since it was built in 1939. We like that it has central air conditioning & heat, with large street to street lot, terraced grounds and a cool patio. 2 car detached garage is below on lower part of lot. This is a great street in a wonderful neighborhood & it’s in the Ivanhoe School District. This one is priced at $ 789,000 and it's getting plenty of interest, officially 4 bedrooms, but better used as 3 bedrooms and a den or home office. if you would like more information on this house or any other homes in the area please e-mail mrivanhoespecialist@gmail.com or call 323-839-3936

What a Deal!


Back in January, we showed you the bank-owned foreclosure, 2923 Waverly Drive. It just sold at the end of February, for $820,000. Considering the approximate square footage (2,971) that's $267 per square foot--and that's a deal! It's not uncommon to see homeowners, in this area, pay up to twice this much.



So there are some great deals out there waiting to be snatched up. If you would like to find the newest deals on the market, please e-mail your Ivanhoe School District Specialist at mrivanhoespecialist@gmail.com or call 323-839-3936.

2500 Griffith Park Blvd, Los Angeles Ca 90039
We really like this wonderful 1930's Spanish style home that has been beautifully upgraded with taste and style.Some of the period details include wood floors, arches and exposed beams.The house has a nice flow and the updated kitchen and bathrooms are ready to go. Records show it at 1500+ sqft but it feels bigger to us as well as the 4100+ lot, maybe because the back yard has been professionally landscaped with 2 flat terraced areas great for entertaining this summer! 3 bedrooms and 1 1/2 baths make this a highly desired property and the location is close to everything. So if you're looking for Ivanhoe, close proxcimity to stores and good outdoor space then this is the house for you! If you would like to see this house or any other houses in the area please e-mail mrivanhoespecialist@gmail.com or call 323-839-3936 your Ivanhoe School District Specialist.
