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.

It’s an All-Art Weekend!

Posted by Heather&Learka on

With art shows and tours all weekend in Beverly Hills and Venice, it should be easy to catch some CA culture and sun along with it.

Beverly Hills: Affaire in the Garden


Stroll the grassy space along Santa Monica Boulevard during this weekend’s Affaire in the Garden, Beverly Hills’ semi-annual art show. Along with art and craft tents stretching four blocks from Rexford to Rodeo, you can check out art tours, musical entertainment, food and even a wine garden. And the best part? The show is free, so you can save your money for art shopping…

  • Saturday & Sunday, May 21 & 22: 10a.m.-6p.m.

Venice Art Walk


Bask in the art and architecture of Venice–and perhaps take some home with you–at this weekend’s Venice Art Walk & Auction. All proceeds from the event benefit the Venice Family Clinic, a free clinic that mainly serves low-income and uninsured people. While the main event (including the artists’ studio tour, silent and select auctions and community fair) is on Sunday, various events are scheduled throughout the weekend, starting with a kick-off party and Skate Surf Auction/Exhibit Friday from 6p.m. to 10 p.m.

The Skate Surf Auction will feature unique skate decks.

Check out the full schedule here.

Find Barcelona on Rodeo Drive

Posted by Heather&Learka on

507-rodeo-driveHave you ever walked across Santa Monica Blvd. on Rodeo Drive and wondered why you suddenly felt like you were in Barcelona? It’s because you’re in front of the O’Neill House. This house was built in the 1980′s by art deco dealer and storeowner Don O’Neill. He wanted to build a house in homage to his favorite architect, Spain’s Antoni Gaudi. O’Neill’s wife Sandy still lives on the property today. So if you’re longing for a touch of Catalan in Beverly Hills, head up to 507 N. Rodeo Dr.

Chaos Continues: Car hauled off by the cops

Posted by Heather&Learka on

Police Car, Beverly HillsWell the general chaotic nature of things continues – while we were sitting in the conference room this morning the cops pulled over a shiny Mercedes, then while we looked through the Brokers Open list, they summoned the impound tow truck and left the driver on the sidewalk with her fancy hand bag and a set of golf clubs she rescued from the trunk.

There are a lot of interesting properties on the list for tomorrow. We are particularly excited to see:

-A 1930’s Spanish mission style compound on San Lorenzo in Santa Monica Canyon.

-A unit in a Gregory Ain property in Silverlake.

-A house billed as “Gustav Stickley’s California House’ on N. Gardner up by Sunset.

-A mid century gated architectural on Green Valley in Laurel Canyon.

Stay tuned – we’ll let you know what’s good.”

Impeccable Design

Posted by Heather&Learka on

What: 5 Bedroom 8 Bath (6 full 2 half) 8,000 square foot Custom Estate Built in 2007 situated on a 2+ acre parcel with pool and detached garage/guesthouse.

Where: Beverly Hills off of Benedict Canyon:

Why: We loved it from the driveway.  The details are amazing.  The owner is a designer and created a lot of the fixtures personally just for this residence.  I think we responded to the modern clean lines with a nod to the Californian Mediterranean.  It is clearly new but looks like it belongs.  The lot is equally fantastic with a green canyon view – not a lot of houses on the facing hillside so it feels both expansive and private.  A happy marriage of classic comfort and modern design features.

Highlights: Great proportions, lots of volume – two story public room, good light, private, gated, dramatic pool, and a terrific view.

What it will run you: Listed for $15mil
