Meet The E.R.B.

f36a8cba-06f7-4661-ba52-77ce3e6fc479We are thrilled to introduce The E.R.B., a collection of new small-lot homes now under construction in Eagle Rock. The builder is Warmington whose NELA Union Modern Homes in Glassell Park was a major hit with buyers, in fact it was the fastest selling new home community in LA. Ask a NELA Union homeowner and they’ll tell you that Warmington is the best, truly the gold standard among home builders. The company was founded in 1926 by William Warmington and is in its fourth generation of family leadership, the current president being Jim Warmington, great-grandson of William. We love selling Warmington homes which are beautifully designed and expertly crafted with care.

The E.R.B. is a brand new community and it’s also innovative, offering buyers the chance to purchase a mixed-use or single-family residence. If you’re a small business owner it could be the perfect place for you: live upstairs + work downstairs = zero commute. What could be better? The homes will be offered in spacious 3 or 4 bedroom floor plans up to 2,500 square feet, considerably larger than many new homes these days. All have three levels with attached two-car garages and you can even have a rooftop deck, your own private outdoor space with panoramic views of the surrounding hillsides.

The E.R.B. is extremely well located at 4320 Eagle Rock Blvd., near the corner of York Blvd. which means it’s just a hop-skip-jump from all the action in Highland Park. In fact it’s near lots of things and rates a “very walkable” 83 at walkscore.com. Warmington is currently in pre-construction with homes expected to be available for purchase in Fall 2016.

Architectural Post and Beam for Lease in Silver Lake
Offered at: $6,000/mo

Type: Lease / Bedrooms: 3 / Baths: 2 / 1,718 sqft / Built: 1956

The Kawaguchi House, a stunning Midcentury Modern home in Silver Lake, is available for lease. Completed in 1953 by noted architect Eugene Kinn Choy the residence enjoys a serene hillside location in the Primrose Hill enclave, prized for its easy Reservoir access and gorgeous vistas. Post-and-beam design and a thoughtful, practical layout are highlighted by floor-to-ceiling windows that bring the outdoors inside. The home has been completely remodeled with stylish finishes including wood, stone and Heath tile. Among numerous system improvements are discreet solar panels providing conscientious, low-cost living.

Enter through the tranquil front patio and you are transported; the home feels remarkably private even as it unfolds behind curtains of glass. Living and dining rooms join with the rear deck that has fabulous views, also enjoyed from the open kitchen that includes a high-end KitchenAid appliance suite and Thermador cooktop. Two downstairs bedrooms provide flexibility to use one as a home office or studio, and in the luxurious upstairs Master Suite find entire walls devoted to closet space. The Master Bathroom has dual vanities along with a separate soaking tub and stall shower.

The house includes a one-car garage, laundry room and bonus outdoor storage. In addition to solar there are energy-efficient systems including low E-3 glass, an extra layer of roof insulation and a tankless water heater. These tasteful updates are seamlessly integrated into Choy’s original vision, which has been enhanced over the years with the utmost care. The respected architect designed several homes in the neighborhood which is among Silver Lake’s very best, nestled amongst trees and just around the corner from the Reservoir. The shops and cafes of Silver Lake Boulevard are within easy reach including LA Mill and Alimento. The action along Sunset Junction is less than a mile away.

Home Prices Tick Slightly Downward

The LA Times report is very much in line what we’ve been seeing for the past several weeks. An increase in inventory is the likely culprit, among other small factors.

“The seasonal forces are in place,” said CoreLogic analyst Andrew LePage. “It is normal to see a dip in the median.”
