Los Angeles, CA 90039

4 BR, 2.5 BA
$1,495,000

We first posted about R.M. Schindler’s James Eads How House in July 2009, when it had just come back on the market with a substantial price drop to $1.495 from its starting point of $4.995 in September of 2008. And now the architectural masterpiece is back on the market!

2030 Estes Road In Eagle Rock

2030 Estes Road
Los Angeles, CA 90041

3 BR, 3 BA
$749,000

I was able to preview this new listing before it hit the market and I love it. It’s in a great section of Eagle Rock–within walking distance of Colorado Boulevard, yet tucked away in a secluded spot. Built in 1957 by architect Richard R. Leitch, the home has a great mid-century vibe, but also has plenty of space.

The 1,770 square foot house has everything a modern buyer could wish for. It has an open floor plan with sliding glass doors leading to the gorgeous pool and deck, spacious patios, treetop views, updated designer kitchen and baths, vaulted ceilings, central fireplace, formal dining room, walk-out basement, and bonus rooms beneath the main living area for storage or an office.

2617 Lakewood Avenue In Silver Lake

2617 Lakewood Avenue
Los Angeles, CA 90039

3 BR, 3 BA
$1,485,000

I saw this Spanish style home in the Ivanhoe Elementary School District yesterday, and I was extremely impressed! The pictures don’t do it justice–in person it was great. Plus, it’s not everyday that a 3 bedroom, 3 bath with a pool on such a large lot in Silver Lake comes on the market.

The 2,500 square foot residence was built in 1926 and according to the listing, it was rumored to have once been home to Hollywood movie star Esther Williams and French actor/singer Maurice Chevalier. The home features a spacious living room with a tiled fireplace, Douglas Fir beamed ceilings, Oak floors, arched doorways, and great views of the reservoir and the Silver Lake hills.

3 BR, 2.5 BA
$679,000
In escrow (3/25/2011)

Located steps away from Echo Park Lake, this brand new residence designed by Heyday provides an opportunity for contemporary homeownership in Echo Park. I had a chance to preview both the properties yesterday (one is complete and the other is a few weeks away) and I was very impressed!

The home is situated on its own property and has ample outdoor space with a private courtyard and a large deck over the garage. Upon entering the 1,600 square foot home, there is a split-level, open floor plan, a custom staircase and numerous artistic built-ins (like the shelves above). Check out this residence’s floor plans after the break. Read more…


2086 Balmer Drive In Silver Lake

2086 Balmer Drive
Los Angeles, CA 90039

3 BR, 3 BA
$1,299,000

Inventory is so low these days in Silver Lake, especially in Moreno Highlands, that any new listing is worth noting. Such is the case with this new listing on Balmer, and the fact that there is a pool (a rarity in Silver Lake) should make this Sunday’s open house very crowded.

This Spanish style home was built in 1938 and is located on a street to street, walled and gated lot. The living room features a wood burning fireplace and bay windows that overlook the backyard, pool and spa.

Not many homes in Silver Lake have pools, so this house would be a hot listing no matter what. But it also happens to be in Ivanhoe Elementary School District, which has a GreatSchools Rating of 10 out of 10! It’s close to the Silver Lake Reservoir, shops and restaurants too. After the break, check out the home’s interior photos.
