Stunning Spanish in the Beverly Hills flats

Heather&Learka — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 18:00:01 +0000

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

Heather&Learka — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 00:37:36 +0000

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?

Heather&Learka — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 00:51:45 +0000

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

Heather&Learka — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 17:00:18 +0000

If you are looking for a place in New York with a little bit of history The Gershwin penthouse might be for you. George & Ira called it home while writing “Girl Crazy”. 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!)

Let us know if you want to take a look – Learka can show it to you Thursday afternoon!

Castle on the Corner

Heather&Learka — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 19:00:25 +0000

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.
