It was a disappointing caravan this week. Everything we saw (Brentwood, Westwood and Mar Vista) felt over-priced. But we chose to have a positive blog and not trash other peoples’ homes. After all, everything looks good at the right price so really there are no homes to trash, only pricing strategies.
So, that said, the only well priced property we saw this week was 1436 Alllenford Ave. Ok, it’s on Allenford, a busy 
street and yes it’s next to Paul Revere Middle School. However, you don’t see the school at all from the property and you do not hear the street from inside the house or from the backyard. The house is over 2300 square feet and the lot is over 14k. It’s not all flat, but a significant portion is and there is room to install a pool. The house is an original mid-century modern built in ’54. The floorplan is excellent. There is lots of glass in the common rooms and everything is oriented to the backyard. The kitchen is open and has an eating area. It’s a one story house that’s calling out for remodeling. It has potential to be the hippest of the hip. It’s priced at $1,299,000. It’s not so easy to sell a house on a busier street, so this house may be obtainable under list price. For anyone who appreciates mid-century and wants to create something really cool – this is a great bet.
If you’re interested in this property, or other homes on the westside of Los Angeles, call The Savvy Duo.
