Why hasn't this new Ivnahoe listing sold?

3740 ARBOLADA RD , LOS ANGELES ,CA 90027 LP: $729,000


This is your chance to own a lovely home in Los Feliz, in Ivanhoe school district for an affordable price. Originally a duplex this beautiful mid-century has been lovingly converted to a single family home. Gleaming hardwood floors lead to a dining room that opens to a beautifully updated kitchen. There is a large living room as well. The bathrooms have also been refurbished. Off the dining room is a lovely patio. Behind the patio is hillside with a flat pad with great views at the top.

When I was headed to see this home a couple of weeks ago two things came to mind. One, why would the owner have changed it from the duplex that it once was into a Single Family Home? And two, what was the redo going to look like? Well, I can tell you that I was pleasantly surprised. The living room was a good size and there's was plenty of light. While the floor plan is a little odd with two doors to enter from but there are things that could be done to help the flow of the house. The kitchen is nicely updated and I like what they've done with the Master Bedroom. While the second kitchen is really more of a laundry room I think it could easily be turned into a 3rd bedroom which would make the most sense and add value indeed. In addition you could have a totally separate family room apart from the formal living room. There are some things that could be a challenge but nothing that can't be worked out. The non through street is a plus since there's little traffic and you're off Los Feliz blvd but you can't hear any of the traffic as the home is farther down Arbolada. 2Br, 2Ba updated, around 1500 sqft with the possibility of a 3rd bedroom for $779,000 and in the Ivanhoe School district.
