Did you blow it?

Did you forget to make reservations? Did you buy bad chocolates? Did you forget to say I love you?
Nothing says I’m sorry like real estate. Nothing.

We’ve got it if you need it – on the day after Valentine’s Day and all of those other days of the year.

Lots of love,
Heather & Learka XOXO

Almond Blossoms

We are used to cherry blossoms in D.C. and plum blossoms in Japan but we never thought about spring time in an almond orchard. The majority of those California almonds we love come from the three quarters of a million acres of almond trees in the Central Valley. That’s a lot of flowers….

Stunning Spanish in the Beverly Hills flats

We aren’t just saying this Spanish is stunning because we like alliteration. When we walked through the door we knew immediately it was was an exceptional renovation. Designed in 1926 by architect Ralph C. Flewelling F.A.I.A, who later in 1933 worked on the main Beverly Hills post office on Canon Drive, the home has been updated with an eye toward clean lines and preserving the traditional Spanish feel. In particular we loved the two story entryway which was just as pretty from the courtyard as it was walking through the front door.

Modern v. Modern

We heart modern homes and today didn’t disappoint when we saw beautiful homes in Hancock Park and Trousdale Estates. In Hancock Park the nearly 4,000 sq. ft. home is listed for $3,129,000 while across town in Beverly Hills the 6,000 sq. ft. home with a killer view (we could see Catalina Island very clearly today) is listed at $6,900,000.

Want to be Hugh Hefner’s Neighbor?

We were charmed by this house when we saw it on the market back in May, it’s now back on the market with a 2 million dollar price reduction, listed at $21 Million. The 1932 home was lovingly renovated in 2008 and is among the classiest homes we’ve seen in Holmby Hills. The next door neighbor is the Playboy Mansion which is almost 22,000 square feet and sits on 5 acres. This home seems more manageable at almost 10,000 square feet sitting on 1.5 acres.
