To call this house a remodel isn’t fair to the word rebuilt – everything has been redone beautifully. This 9000+ square foot 1947 mid-century home has been taken down to the studs and resurrected with all of the amenities and finishes one would expect in 2011, while maintaining the style and elegance of the middle of the last century.
If you’d like to sell or buy your own masterpiece, give us a call.

Avoiding the west side this weekend? Good call.
If you’re camping out on the east side, head over to the Rose Bowl in Pasadena on Saturday for a food truck fantasy come true: the second annual LA Street Food Fest, where you can sample fare from more than 65 vendors. The Downtown Women’s Center is this year’s beneficiary. For VIP treatment (including tequila tent and beer gardens), get tickets to one of three limited attendance sessions:

There was no limit to the eye-catching details in this 1929 Mediterranean on McCadden in Hancock Park – dramatic staircase, wrought iron, moldings, faux finishes, gilding, painted beams, stained glass, secret door – but our favorite was the entry tile:
We snapped a pic to make into Blackberry wallpaper (yes, we still have Blackberries!!)

Today in our cross town travels we saw three properties that would make for interesting projects.
Tucked away in the Hollywood foothills by the Vista entrance of Runyon Canyon is a glamorous old Hollywood Mediterranean. Originally owned by actor Raymond Burr, the 1920′s home is part of an approximately 2.5 acre property that includes pool, views, recording studio, office and extensive wooded grounds. Offered at just under $5mil, this property is ready to transform into a dream compound in a celebrity-studded neighborhood.
If you prefer mid century to Mediterranean there is a 1950 A. Quincy Jones available off of Kenter in Brentwood near the Kenter Canyon School. The Friedman Residence is a 4 bed 3 bath ‘house type 403′ per the original drawings. There are wonderful details to preserve and a kitchen and baths to work some period conscious updating magic on. Also a bonus: the office/study with separate entrance makes a work-at-home option in your finished product. On the market for $1,650,000.
Same year, different neighborhood, for just over $8mil you can take on a 5 bed 6 bath 6,400 sq ft mid century designed by Arthur Froehlich who also brought us the Hanna Barbera Studios and The Hollywood Park racetrack. This property is an acre on the L.A. Country Club and has four fireplaces and a plethora of other details to work with.
