List Price $1,199,000

3 bedrooms • 2 bathrooms

1,790 sf • 5,382 sf lot

A beautiful new offering, exclusively from Tracy Do Real Estate. Profiled in the current edition of Country Gardens Magazine, this graceful French Chateau Style home is four blocks from Ivanhoe Elementary and just two blocks from the Silver Lake Reservoir.

The single-level house was built in 1928 and has been tastefully remodeled by its owners, one of them a professional designer. Bright, contemporary updates have left period details intact, with improvements in all the right places. And wait ’til you see all the storage space.

The private back yard is perfect for quiet moments, or entertaining on any scale. The front yard is highlighted by pathways, sitting areas and a pair of handmade wooden bridges traversing a nearly 50-foot-long stream, affectionately referred to as “Tesla Creek.” Said the owners, when asked about the home for a front-page profile in the LA Times Garden Section: “We created a space to escape city life, without actually leaving.”

Listen: LA Housing Market Tightens Up

Inventory is down, heralding the return of bidding wars, all-cash offers… it can tough to be a buyer these days. On KPCC’s “Take Two” this morning, host Tess Vigeland spoke about the housing market with Chris Thornberg of Beacon Economics. Says Thornberg, “We knew this was coming. I just don’t think anyone expected it to be quite as dramatic as it has turned out to be.” Their 7-minute conversation is worth your time. Find it here, and be sure to click the “listen now” button on the left.

 

There are several takeaways here, among them the fact that in a tight marketplace like this you need a competitive edge. Put yourself in business with the people who will work hardest for you: the experienced, approachable and always professional team at Tracy Do Real Estate.
