This one comes with the adjacent vacant lot!



We recently went back to see this is a classic post modern, woodsy contemporary w/beamed ceiling and expansive windows in main living areas. We loved the dramatic views that extend from Hollywood basin to San Gabriel Mountains.The house is nestled above the street with 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, 2 fireplaces, a cool lap pool and outdoor spa with wonderful decks for hanging out and entertaining. We forgot about the fact that it also includes the vacant lot next store which means you don't ever have to worry about those killer views! Yet the possibilities are endless as to what you could do with it and it already feels like you're next to a park. The closets have been removed from 2 of the bedrooms but could be reversed easily. This is a good house for those with children or looking to have more children in the future. It's one of the fewer larger homes on the market right now in the Ivanhoe School District of Silver Lake. Of of the 4 or 5 comparable homes that are out there, it has a lot going for it.

Why will this house sell? Maybe because it's on one of the best streets in Silver Lake!

This Spanish fixer is a 4br 2ba around 1900 sft is on one of the best streets in the area!

Built in 1926 this house could be a great home. With hardwood floors a huge living room with fireplace and formal dining room with french doors opening up to the front patio, this house is going to get a lot of interest. There are 4 bedrooms, 2 on each side of the house which we like, and there's a large breakfast room off the kitchen as well as a service porch with access outside. The lot is huge at 9,500 square feet with multiple flat terraces as well as room for gardens and an outdoor deck for entertaining. The house is in need of some real updating and both bathrooms and kitchen would need to be redone but that's why it's going to list for only $ 719,000! So if you're looking for size, location, Ivanhoe School District and the possibility to make your own dream home and don't want to spend a $1,000,000 on something that someones already redone to their own taste then you should see this house. It won't be on the market until next week but I can get you in now! As always 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 We also wanted to thank http://www.la.curbed.com/ for the honorable mention of our blog on their site last week.

Thanks,

Mr. Ivanhoe

Now that this has been on the market awhile, this is a good time to make an offer!


2647 Locksley PL, Los Angeles, CA 90039
This should have sold by now, it's in good shape and has income potential!
We like this 2-story Character Spanish with wood floors, fireplace, separate dining room, and a redone eat-in kitchen. The first floor includes 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, a formal living room with great light. The lower level features a studio-style apartment with a separate entrance and its own kitchenette and bathroom. You could use it as an office and work space like the current owners or lease it bringing in some income($1400). Included is central air & heat, entertainment patio and a flat grassy private backyard. It's a nice street with good pride of ownership. Now that it's been on the market for awhile, this is a great time to make an offer! If you're looking to get into the area and want a home that is nicely done then you should come to the open house this Sunday and see for yourself. It's close to shops and restaurants and is in the Ivanhoe Elementary District. To view this or any other homes in the area please e-mail mrivanhoespecialist@gmail.com or call 323-839-3936.
