June 29, 2008

Price Update:

MLS#: 08-280807 There weren't any photos I could find online of the front of this 3/3, 2173 sq. ft. house, but it doesn't matter. The front of this charmless house wasn't anything great. It was at the end of a cul de sac on a thin road in the hills of Studio City.
Let's just be kind and say this house wasn't in our taste. Was it the roman columns in the formal dining room? (strangely no photo was available for this either). Was it the dark, shiny wood... everything? There were a few balconies, I think, which had lovely views of the empty concrete LA "River".

My favorite part was the back "yard", which was a vast multi-terraced exhibition space. My hubby and I joked we would buy it just to hold weddings here. The ceremony would be in the flat, paved large area, room for 200 chairs, which could later be moved for dining and dancing, and the cocktail hour could be held in the first photo, which is a loungey-looking area. However, grandma and grandpa probably couldn't make it up the steep 25 steps or so up there. And probably not a good idea to try to climb down after drinking four cosmos in 4" stiletto heels.
