2081 BALMER DR , LOS ANGELES ,CA 90039 LP: $1,095,000


A recent restoration stripped away the 1970's vibe and brings to life the original 1940's charm. Gorgeous mahogony floors thru-out grand scale living and dining rms.

Re-creation of 3rd bdrm suite and new den/office complete this very special home. Great indoor/outdoor flow to lrg brick patio and flat yard! Close to reservoir, dog park and much more! Ivanhoe Elementary!

Location, Location ,Location! When we talked about this house back in April it was really a mess and in need of a redo. It felt dark somehow and just not inviting, now it's bright, sunny and totally done with thought while keeping the 1940s charm. It was a trust, sold at public auction and the buyer has revamped it and done a good job. We're very familiar with the house as we sold the one right next store at 2085 Balmer to our client last year and they love it! We like the new configuration on this one and amenities. The doors going out from the dining room to the patio are nice and the list of improvements is long, like new stainless steel appliances, new exterior/enterior paint, vertical copper plumbing and much more. At around 2000 sqft this 3br 3ba is ideal for a family and couples who want to be close to the reservoir and all that it offers! All this and you're in Ivanhoe School district too. Its easy to show so if you would like to see it or any other properties in the district or surrounding areas please e-mail me at mrivanhoespecialist@gmail.com or call me at 323-839-3936.
As always thanks and we look forward to hearing from you!

This is the newest listing in the Ivanhoe School district of Silver Lake

2746 Auburn St, CA 90029 $839,000

Environmentally sensitive green home located in the heart of Silver Lake. The development is featured in the current edition of Dwell Magazine "Lucky 7 Article." This modern single family home features, 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, 2114 square feet (per assessor). Solar power system installed to help eliminate your power bill! 2 car attached garage with direct access and storage, floor to ceiling windows, energy efficient windows & appliances, panoramic hillside and city views, open floor plan with expansive living room, dining and den areas, step down indoor/outdoor living area with walking-fold doors and outdoor fireplace.

Perfect gardening area for growing your own vegetables & fruits. High end finishes throughout and no remodeling required. Walking distance to Ivanhoe Elementary school and all that Silver Lake has to offer.

So, when I first saw this home and the others next to it that are were built the same time, I knew that they had been done well and with some real thought into building them. When the developer decided to put his own unit up for sale I was excited and knew that it was probably the best of the Auburn 7! I was right, because of where it sits on the street and at the front of the other homes, it's a great property and offers the most light, space and yet feels private and move in ready. The price per sqft is below average and location is perfect for walking to places of interest. This is a 3br 2.5 Ba with a smart floor plan and now the best part, its in the Ivanhoe School district! If you would like to view this home or any others in the areas please e-mail me at mrivanhoespecialist@gmail.com or call 323-839-3936.

This is the newst listing in the Ivanhoe School district of Silver Lake in Los Angeles


3315 Fernwood Ave $656,000

Hip and gated 1960’s Post & Beam in the West Silver Lake Hills with sweeping scenic hillside views. Spacious living room with gas fireplace via remote. Living room and bedrooms all step out to great view decks. Updated kitchen with granite tops, stainless appliances and with built-in TV over breakfast bar area with room for 4 to enjoy. Spacious remodeled bath with granite counters over large vanity. Large private 3rd deck. Copper plumbing, tankless water heater, retractable screens, Trex decking, 200 amp panel. Large storage shed. Street to street lot with views galore! Great location that is a short walk to Griffith Park Blvd and then to down to Sunset Junction up or to restaurants and shops on Hyperion. All this plus located in the Ivanhoe school district.

We were excited to this this "Post and Beam" and it's in good shape as well as move in ready but the aesthetic isn't what we would have hoped for. This 2 bedroom 1 bath around 900 sqft is on a good street and you don't have to do much at all. There's room under the house to create a office/studio space and the updates are nice. The decks are cool but there's no usable yard space. We love the views and if you want privacy then this is the home for you. The street to street lot is a plus and you can take the city steps down to places of interest on Hyperion or Griffith Park. It's in the Ivanhoe and will get allot of attention. If you would like more information about this home or any other homes in the Ivanhoe School district or surrounding areas of Silver Lake please contact me at mrivanhoespecialist@gmail.com or call 323-839-3936

This is the newest listing in the Ivanhoe School District of Silver Lake in Los Angeles

W Silver Lake Drive $ 1,99,000

Easy livin' by the water's edge in prime Silver Lake a short walking distance to Ivanhoe Elementary! Dramatic 2 story Modern directly across the street from the reservoir & the newly completed path. Extensive use of glass provides picturesque views of the lake from most rooms. 4 large decks ideal for relaxing and/or entertaining all face the water! Hardwood floors & a contemporary wood-burning fireplace provide warmth for those chilly evenings. This home is situated on a very nice corner lot with side access to the rear patios & yard. BONUS: there is a separate detached one story building at the rear of the property accessible from the side street just waiting for your creative ideas (music studio, home office, art studio, gym and/or workout room, yoga studio, wine cellar,?????)!!!!!

When we heard this home was coming on the market, we were excited because not many properties seem to come up for sale on this part of the street on the west side of the reservoir. The home has an interesting floor plan and it's in good shape with lots of natural light and great indoor/outdoor spaces that flow well together. The bold color scheme may not for everyone but it works and we like the the architectural vibe that make this one of the more interesting places we've seen. The bathrooms are more original and we think the old garage has great potential for an office/home studio or whatever you need it to be. All in all this 3br 2 ba home with almost 1900 sqft is nice and should get plenty of interest. I'll be open this Sunday but is easy to show if you would like to see it sooner. If you would like more information about this home or any other homes in the Ivanhoe School district or surrounding area of Silver Lake please contact me at mrivanhoespecialist@gmail.com or call 323-839-3936
