SizzList: You’re Looking Good Now Brookside Mamacita
13 Jan 2012This Spanish beauty at 950 S. Muirfield Rd. debuted last week with minimal fanfare. Seven days and a $50k reduction later, it now appears that this 2 bedroom/1bath casita, at 1148 square feet, is in it to win it. Located in the Brookside neighborhood adjacent to Hancock Park, this 1923 Spanish literally had me at two things: the beamed ceiling and the 1952 O’Keefe & Merritt range. Lovely neighborhood, great bones and priced to move at $599,000. The owners are using a now risky strategy from the 2005 home sales playbook and asking for all offers by Monday 1/16, following the “last” open house this weekend. Bidding war? We shall see. If you would like more information or would like to view this property, just ask. For those wanting to restore your own Spanish, the identical property next door, 948 S. Muirfield, is set at the fixer price of $499,000 and comes with a garage currently used as an art studio. Check out that outdoor fireplace! If you would like to view this property, just let me know.

So for my 2nd Debut of the Day, may I present 1128 Yale Drive. No, this home hasn’t gotten the $50k kitchen and bath treatment, but if you look closely, perhaps you’ll see what I do: oodles and oodles of potential. Perched on a grassy knoll in town-within-a-town Adams Hill, this modestly priced $465k home boasts some million dollar views. Set on a 3280 square foot lot, this 1925 Spanish has 2 bedrooms/1 bath that makes use of all 1072 square feet of living space. The spacious patio at the front entrance has a gorgeous view of the city. Aside from the gorgeous bones, this home has tons of original features like the Bachelder tile fireplace, wood windows and oak floors. Views of the city can also be seen from the living and dining rooms. Plumbing, electrical and central air have all been upgraded. Original floor tiles and a Clawfoot tub grace the home’s 1 bathroom. With a little polishing, this Spanish home can be an absolute masterpiece. The artist in me is…
