About Beverly Hills' Beverly Hills Flats

I am pleased to announce an uber significant sale for Rich Kids Real Estate Group for two reasons: 1) This was a record breaking sale for me in terms of the closing period. My client immediately fell in love with the property and we recorded within 5 days from acceptance of offer – my fastest escrow period…ever. It would not have been possible without the help of an individual who I have looked up to since before I became a licensed agent (see next item). 2) I had the opportunity to work with the most accomplished and recognized residential developer in Beverly Hills (if not the world), Brian Adler. Brian has made his mark on the Beverly Hills real estate scene in numerous ways since age 21, but is probably best known for developing the ultimate in gated living chic, Beverly Park North and South. If you are familiar with the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Adrienne Maloof and Lisa Vanderpump both reside in Beverly Park. (average sale price is roughly $23,000,000). Brian took this vision of opulence and superb craftsmanship to his newest incarnation, La Terrasse in Beverly Hills.

I had the chance to sit with Brian and talk about his masterpiece of distinctive, contemporary architecture. The objective was to give those who are used to the best a similar experience that would be found in a single family home in Beverly Park – 24 hour security/concierge, 37 video cameras, and a boutique style gym/screening room inspired by the finest homes. La Terrasse is comprised of 20 units positioned within 5 stories, 4 of the units being exquisite 4000+ square feet penthouses.

Adler raised the bar with rich, high-gloss Italian burled walnut & sycamore cabinetry, floor-to-ceiling limestone fireplaces & brushed walnut & limestone flooring. Marble & granite counter tops, mahogany doors, large built-in closets complete each residence. The sumptuous master bedroom is absolutely massive and features his/her closets and baths.

Located on Doheny, a Rich Kid gets the best of both worlds – the pretige, safety, and security of Beverly Hills, 90210 while being within walking distance to West Hollywood’s renowned dining and sexy nightlife (yes, nightlife can be very sexy…you will just have to take my word for it).

I want to welcome my client, B, as the newest member of the Rich Kids Family. Both you and your sister won me over immediately, but having drinks while signing the paperwork sealed the deal! I could not be happier that you both are in LA, have the slickest condo around (clearly for all of us to have a glass of wine on the terrace), and on a selfish note, I love that I now have 2 new friends. This is what Rich Kids Real Estate is all about!!! I’ll raise a champagne flute (or red party cup) to that – cheers!!!

Beverly Hills: HUD HOME DEAL OF THE WEEK is a CONDO!
412 N. Palm Dr., #604, Beverly Hills, 90210

This bank owned penthouse condo, a 2+2 in prime, walkable Beverly Hills is a strong deal, priced under the current market comps, list price $659,900.

A corner unit, built in 1964, just towards the end of the mid century design era, with the influences of this modern period very much in play...high ceilings, open floor plan, large sun-bathed rooms.

The kitchen still has the original 1964 fixtures, all in great shape: stacked double ovens, (with a great 60’s graphic stove clock), a “built-in” wall can opener, and an inlaid electric blender on the countertop. The kitchen is large enough for an eat-in table area, or sleeker yet would be to build a breakfast bar in this space and face the stools towards the hillside view!

Did I mention a view? Yowza! It hits you the minute you walk in the door of 412 N. Palm Dr., Beverly Hills. And the views are visible from every room (except the hall bath!). The living room/dining room area is more of a “great room,” expanse of wide open space. You could create several seating areas, and a TV area, and a dining area...again, all would be bathed in hillside views! (BTW, these pics were taken with my iphone camera, can't make these views bigger, closer, etc. These are the real views!).

The bedrooms are filled with natural light, one being exceptionally large, and with a large closet. In general, there is an overload of closet space in this unit...several walk-in closets (including one in the master bath!), several hall closets and built-in cabinets. Both baths appear to be well maintained, albeit with 60’s fixtures and 80’s decor...but all in great shape.

There is a new beige color carpet and a recent soft beige paint job. The street is a beautiful, tree lined street in classic Beverly Hills, and is within walking distance to the shops and restaurants of Beverly Hills...killer location! The list price of this bank owned Beverly Hills condo is $659,900.

If you’d like to see this one in person, please email or call me! Jayne, cell) 213/309-5005.

Since it's the middle of the week, I thought I would indulge us in a little fantasy real estate aka real estate porn. If this is your reality, call me immediately because this house is nothing short of amazing! Located in the west end Beverly Hills flats, this property embodies my dreams come to life. I've always loved the location and land of the BH flats, but preferthe sleek architecture of the "Bird Streets"/Sunset Plaza area. Today's Hot Prop combines my two loves into one fantastic estate! Taken down to the studs and then totally renovated with impeccable taste by Abramson and Teiger, there aren't enough words to describe how cool this house is! Instead, let's just drool over the pictures (I enhanced the image size so you could see the details)! Enjoy!
