It’s not every day that a house like this in Atwater Village comes on the market, since many homes in the area were built in the 1920s and 30s and are Bungalows or Spanish style.

This 1,800 square foot home was built in 1939 and has a mid-century modern feel with vaulted wood beamed ceilings, open floor plan, brick fireplace and more.

I saw this new listing in Silver Lake yesterday during the broker’s open, and I was impressed. Built in 1955, this traditional home was recently renovated and is move-in ready. It would be a great home for a small family since it’s within Ivanhoe School District.

The spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence has an open living room with original casement windows, built-in bookshelves and great mountain views.

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!

Built in 1925, the 2,426 square foot home has been fully restored and updated for modern living. There are stunning architectural details, including walls of glass, redwood, and concrete and original fireplaces. The home also includes many updates including an alarm system and central heat and air conditioning.

True Pablove 2012

On Saturday, February 11th from 11am to 3pm, the Pablove Foundation is hosting True Pablove – A Valentine’s Family Celebration with craft booths, live music, silent auction, kid’s activities, Pablove Shutterbugs Giving Tree and great refreshments for all.

At last year’s events, kids had a ball customizing tote bags, hand felting necklaces, decorating cookies and cupcakes and creating Valentine’s Day cards for the inpatient children at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. Yo Gabba Gabba, Gwendolyn and the Good Time Gang, and popular DJ’s entertained the crowd. Refreshments were provided by some of LA’s best eateries, including Mas Malo, Lark Bakery, Intelligentsia Coffee and Tavern. There are lots of great crafts, music, and auctions in store for the 2012 event, as well!

The True Pablove event raises money for the Pablove Foundation, which fights to spread one simple message: kids get cancer too! Their mission is to fund pediatric cancer research and advances in treatment, educate and empower cancer families, and improve the quality of life for children living with cancer through hospital play, music and arts programs. To read more about the Pablove Foundation’s mission and goals, check out their website.

Tickets for True Pablove are $60 per person. You can purchase tickets, find out about sponsorship opportunities, make a donation, or volunteer for the event here!

New listings are back! After a few quiet weeks there is finally some activity in the market. I was able to see this new listing in Silver Lake today and I liked what I saw.

Los Angeles, CA 90039

2 BR, 2 BA
$577,000

I saw this new flip in Silver Lake before it was remodeled. It has some really nice mid-century elements, along with a great backyard. It’s set above the street with great views of the San Gabriel mountains and surrounding hillside homes.

The 1,186 square foot bungalow, originally built in 1939, has been remodeled but still retains many original details, like the oak and mahogany herringbone floors in the dining room.

The family room has post and beam ceilings, stained concrete floors, built-in bookshelves, and double French doors that lead to the expansive backyard.

Atwater Village Farm

Those of you within walking distance of Atwater Village Farm, I’m seriously jealous. The newly opened shop offers affordable, organic farm-to-table produce, meat and bread from local and regional farms. They also carry specialty items from local vendors, such as mustard, pickles, jam, honey, olive oil, nuts and more.

The shop just opened on Friday, but it’s been generating buzz since early last summer–thanks in part to owner Piper Goldstein, who’s been known to farm in a gold lamé dress. Goldstein, a former rock tour chef for Beastie Boys and The Black Eyed Peas, transformed her own Atwater Village backyard into a farm while recovering from a major shoulder injury. What started out as a personal evolution, ultimately grew into a business idea and community project. Goldstein wanted the people of Atwater Village directly involved in the business’ start up, so the shop was partially funded through Kickstarter.com–a fundraising platform for creative projects. (If you missed the fundraising video, it’s still worth a look.) Ultimately, 191 community supporters donated $22,365.

After the new year, the store will continue to evolve into a community meeting place with educational programs, cookbook signings from farm-to-table chefs, cooking classes, happy hours and produce basket subscriptions.

Atwater Village Farm is open seven days a week from 11am to 8pm. They will be closed Christmas Day and New Years Day, but they’re open on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve from 11am to 4pm so you can grab last minute items.

Silver Lake Holiday Shopping Guide

Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday… They all came and went. Holiday shopping accomplished? Zero. Yes, I admit it. I’m a procrastinator. And if you’re like me, you know how brutal holiday slacker-shopping can be. As December chugs to it’s wrapping paper covered conclusion, frenzied shoppers hit the mall in a panicked wave, grabbing whatever is left, not pausing to contemplate: Will my dad appreciate this Old Navy Trapper Hat? … Whatever! Put it in the cart! Mark it off the list!

This year, make life easier and shop your neighborhood instead. And (note to self) maybe try to do it before the bitter end. Check out some of Take Sunset’s favorite spots in Silver Lake for gift giving…
