3543 WOODCLIFF RD.—$799,999

This small 3 bed/1.5 bath home was just... blah. Can't remember much about it. However, the best part was taking turns with my husband seeing the house. The agent, who was about 15 years old, asked him if he liked the house. Husband said no, because it was too small and too expensive for the square footage. He said we just came from a house in Sherman Oaks that was around $300 sq. ft. and when he asked the agent how much the house was per square foot, the agent didn't know.
When the agent doubted him on the too expensive claim, he pulled out his calculator and they did the math right there... Turned out, yes the house was expensive at $490 sq. ft. He then asked if we were working with an agent (yes we are). He then asked (no joke) if we would leave our agent and sign with him if he guaranteed something or other. My husband said no and walked out.
Incidentally, when I walked through the house, the same agent also cornered me to ask about the house. When I asked what school district it was in, the agent didn't know what the name of the school was. Brillant.

This spacious 3 bed/3.5 bath home was...ok. It's stuck in the 1980s with its stained light blue carpet, outdated kitchen and bathrooms, and intercom system. It would take around $100,000 to get it into good shape, and at the current asking price, that puts it at over $1m. What we really didn't like about the house was the lack of backyard. One could put $500,000 into the house and make it gorgeous. But, it can never have a backyard, which is a sad shame.

We wandered our way over to Los Feliz to check out what living north of Los Feliz Blvd. was like. I hope this 3/2 house wasn't the average house in these parts (I don't think it is -- but this house is currently the cheapest). It had a Japanese flair... needlessly so. The back yard was a pile of rocks, the cramped kitchen was the exact same size and layout as our 1931 rented apt. kitchen, and the house had a weird flow. The cheerful chap of a realtor mentioned there's a perfect baby's room off of the top floor's master bedroom. Ahem, he must have meant the large walk-in closet that's currently being used as an office. Said it's a 3-bedroom house, when we think it's really a glorified 2-bedroom. Listing says the house is 1,812 sq. ft. Feels a lot less.

We just happened upon this open house and decided to go in for a tour. It was pretty cute! Loved there was a bathroom in-between the two smaller bedrooms. Perfect for kids. Hated the jacuzzi tub > 1985 called and they want their hot tub back.
