The Wong House: 2651 Nottingham Place In Los Feliz
2651 Nottingham Pl
Los Angeles, CA 90027
2 BR, 3 BA
$2,849,000 Sold for 2,900,000 (8/16/2010)
$3,650,000 (1/31/2012)
Update 2/1/2012: The Wong House is back on the market! The sellers made numerous “eco-upgrades” and it is now listed for $3,650,000.
It’s always exciting when a house of this caliber comes on the market. The Wong House was designed by famed architects Buff & Hensman in 1968 and sits at the top of the Los Feliz hills on one of the area’s best streets. With an oversized swimming pool, expansive views from Downtown to the ocean, and top notch mid-century modern design this definitely earns the overused tag “dream house”, agreed?

2047 East Live Oak Drive In The Oaks
2047 East Live Oak Drive
Los Angeles, CA 90068
3 BR, 2 BA
$1,285,000
I saw this mid-century modern home in the Los Feliz Oaks on Tuesday and was impressed. Built in 1950, the home has been thoughtfully renovated, fusing designer finishes with the original architectural elements. The 2,162 square foot home would be ideal for someone who works from home, since there are plenty of office options. The residence is sited on a 9,460 square foot lot with nice views from the front deck and an outdoor spa and fire pit. Plus, it’s in a great location–very easy to get to and within walking distance of Griffith Park. This is the only photo available at this point, but hopefully more will be added.
If you’d like to see this home in person, email me or call me at 323-775-6305!

2011 Home Of The Year
Update: The votes are in! The Norton House in Pasadena was crowned Best Home Of 2011. This Buff & Hensman beauty received 23% of the votes (followed by 3705 Alzada and 1160 Chateau in a tie for second).
My vote was for 1160 Chateau, but the Norton House was a close second. It’s such a great house and I’m not surprised it won. Thanks for voting!

What They Sold For
The House: 1973 Redesdale Ave
Listing Date: 8/19/2011
Original Listing Price: $1,070,000
Sold For: $1,040,000 in 13 days
Thoughts: While the price was high for a home outside the Ivanhoe Elementary School District boundaries, this listing is a great example of the current demand for true architectural homes in Silver Lake.
The House: 4053 Woking Way
Listing Date: 8/26/2011
Original Listing Price: $3,650,000
Sold For: $3,700,000 in 11 days
Thoughts: There was a lot of buzz surrounding the Walt Disney house when it came on the market in August. I saw it in person and it needed a lot of updating, but with so much history behind its walls, I’m not surprised that it sold so quickly. It also went for over asking, which is very rare for a property in this price range, but this was definitely a special property!
The House: 3705 Alzada Rd
Listing Date: 8/17/2011
Original Listing Price: $1,100,000
Sold For: $960,000 in 31 days
Thoughts: Altadena has a lot of great homes, but it’s not a premier location for most buyers. However, this house was really unique, which helped it sell for a great price.
Samuel-Novarro House In The Oaks
2255 Verde Oak Drive
Los Angeles 90068
3 BR, 3 BA
$4,195,000
The historic Samuel-Novarro house was built in 1928 by Lloyd Wright for Ramon Novarro’s close friend and business manager, Louis Samuel. The residence changed hands when Novarro (best known for his role in Ben-Hur) discovered Samuel had been embezzling from him and using some of the money to pay his mortgage on the Lloyd Wright home. Novarro took over ownership of the art deco/Mayanesque estate to avoid pressing charges and bringing unwanted attention to his personal life.
The majestic 4-level, 3-bedroom home is built into the side of a hill in the exclusive Oaks neighborhood in Los Feliz. It has been meticulously restored and features sleek concrete floors, dramatic windows, countless architectural details, beautiful outdoor spaces, an enclosed pool and terrace with a jasmine covered walkway.
The incredible home has consistently attracted celebrity owners, including Leonard Bernstein, Jerome Robbins, Betty Comden, Adolph Green, Diane Keaton and Christina Ricci.
