Gorgeous New Construction in Studio City, CA

Front 4230 Bellingham Ave.

4230 Bellingham Ave.

Studio City, 91604

5 Bedroom, 4 1/2 Bath

$1,749,000

I’m usually in favor of older homes with a lot of character, as opposed to newer builds, with their cookie cutter tendencies, but this fantastic cape cod in Studio City is a glorious exception. Located in the very desirable zip code of Studio City, 91406, this 5 bedroom home is over 3900 square feet. Interestingly enough, the Studio City Council just passed an ordinance restricting homes this size to be built anymore. The ordinance was designed to stop “McMansions” from crowding out their lots. In my opinion, this doesn’t qualify as a McMansion, because it was so tastefully done. Scroll down to see what I mean.

Family room 4230 Bellingham Ave.

Kitchen 4230 Bellingham Ave

My favorite part of this elegant kitchen is the chandelier, but the beveled marble counter tops come in a close second. I also adore the wine cooler in the butler’s pantry, the antiqued cabinets, the subway tile and the crystal cabinet hardware. Read More and see more photos...

Mount Washington Mid-Century Modern Stunner, Just Reduced

livingroom 4312 Palmero

4312 Palmero Dr. Mount Washington, CA 900653 Bedroom, 2 Bathroom $624,700

It’s not within my normal stomping ground, but when I saw this Mt. Washington example of Mid-Century Modern, I just had to post it. The home has been elegantly remodeled with custom tile work, modern and vintage fixtures specially designed for this home and sleek hardwood floors. The open concept floorplan allows for gorgeous views from any room and excellent flow for entertaining. I just love the beamed ceilings and the Caesarstone counters.

Starter home in Encino that you don't have to fix up!

17327 Emelita St. in Encino

17327 Emelita St.
Encino, CA 91316
2 Bedroom, 1 Bathroom
$349,000

I can hardly believe the price on this cute little turn-key starter home in Encino that I saw today. The 802 square foot home is in a quiet neighborhood north of the 101 freeway. It’s got hardwood floors, central heat and air (very important in the valley), smooth ceilings, copper plumbing, a new water heater, ceiling fans, and a cute kitchen.

You know I’m a sucker for green kitchens! I love the beatboard backed shaker cabinets and the corian counters. It also has a Bosch dishwasher. Bonus!
