Stunning Spanish in the Beverly Hills flats

Posted by Heather&Learka on

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

Posted by Heather&Learka on

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?

Posted by Heather&Learka on

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.

Gershwin Penthouse Upper West Side

Today it is a a seven room duplex with a huge envy-inspiring wraparound terrace. The views from every room are spectacular – the Hudson River, sunsets and Riverside Drive. Totally prime for renovation in an elegant full service prewar cooperative two blocks from Fairway & Citarella (mmmm…. Smoked Fish!)

Castle on the Corner

Posted by Heather&Learka on

The last castle we told you about that was on the market was a castle on a canal, if that one was too far west for you, we have another to tell you about. This 1926 French-style castle chateau is on the market in the charming and secluded neighborhood of Brookside, adjacent to Hancock Park. It has 5 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, a pool and turrets… what more could a modern day prince or princess be looking for. Let us know if you want to check it out.

Robert Taylor Ranch

Posted by Heather&Learka on

At over 100 acres the Robert Taylor Ranch is one of the largest residential properties on the westside of Los Angeles. It was designed by architect Robert Byrd for businessman Waite Phillips who owned it prior to the actor Robert Taylor. It traded hands in 1975 for $900,0000 and has been on and off the market throughout the 2000′s for anywhere from $28million to over $50million. A few clicks on the calculator has the current price at $250,000 per acre. We usually talk about lot size in squarefeet in the city so it is nice to have something our friends in Wyoming can understand. Well maybe not; it would take ten Robert Taylor Ranches to equal one Walton Ranch .

Laurel Lane

Posted by Heather&Learka on

It’s rare in the Los Angeles area to find an acre of land, let alone 2+ acres! This week we saw sitting on all of this land a 27,000 square foot home, 20 car garage, tennis court, pool, and green space the size of a football field…. This much house & land could be yours for $55,000,000…

Big Architect, Small Price

Posted by Heather&Learka on

The last time we wrote about a Fickett it was in the architectural enclave at the top of Nichols Canyon by Woodrow Wilson but Edward Fickett AIA also designed a multi-unit residence just below Sunset Boulevard on Hayworth. The Hollywood Riviera was built in 1954. We love the pool, the post and beam style and the great location. There is a one bedroom unit in the Riviera available for $359,000. Here are some pics…
