Stunning Remodel in Echo Park with Bonus Rooms & Views!
Offered at: $849,000

Status: Sold
Type: Single Family / Bedrooms: 3 / Baths: 2
Living Area: 1,598 Square Ft. / Lot Size: 4,966 Square Ft.

The artist+builders of Re-Inhabit take their special blend of reclaimed design with sustainable elements to new heights in their latest offering, a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home that has a fascinating story to tell. Tucked into the hills of Echo Park, the residence features an open floor plan, expansive outdoor space and shimmering city-lights views. The large Master Bedroom has its own large deck, while a second deck off the kitchen will be your private sanctuary or al fresco dining spot when entertaining. The rooms are generously proportioned, and a bonus attic space can be used as an office, playroom or den. This year-long remodel and restoration uses the majority of the original structure by repurposing materials in useful and ingenious ways. Wood siding from the former broken-down garage has become the tread of an interior stairway. Lath from demolished plaster walls has been put back into use. All of this has been done with the care and craftsmanship that Re-Inhabit is known for. A rare and understated showpiece, it is a home with beauty, grace and a compelling narrative all its own.

Dramatic Drop in Local Housing Inventory

From KPCC’s morning radio show “Take Two”… “It was a buyer’s market: low prices, low interest rates, desperate sellers. But talk with just about anyone wandering around open houses each Sunday and you’ll hear a different refrain: What happened?! Prices here jumped more than 23 percent last month… and foreclosure filings dropped a stunning 77 percent… All of a sudden finding a house to buy isn’t so easy. Chris Thornberg, an economist and founding partner of Beacon Economics, is here to explain.” (Click link for story and 7 minute radio clip).

FYI Quick Read…

A tight real estate market means the return of bidding wars in certain neighborhoods. Today on MSN, Donna Fuscaldo offers some tips: “To compete in a bidding war, buyers need to prepare financially for the home purchase. They have to be familiar with property values in their target neighborhoods. And they must know what they want.” Solid advice, for sure. But first, find yourself a good realtor. Working at no charge to buyers, a licensed agent will guide you step-by-step and connect you to the home you want. For more info, contact Tracy Do Real Estate.

Mid Century Ranch Home in Prime San Gabriel

List Price $549,000

3 bedrooms • 2 bathrooms

1,515 sf • 6,264 sf lot

We see a bit of a bargain here, a 1956 Ranch-style home on a nice street in one of our favorite under-the-radar neighborhoods: North San Gabriel. Pasadena and San Marino are only blocks away.

There are wood floors, a handsome fireplace, and sliding glass doors to a flat and spacious back yard. The lines on these Ranch homes are wonderful, providing excellent flow and a good use of space.

The house needs work, but at this price it’s well worth it. “Finished” homes of similar size in the area sell for considerably more — and quickly. Get this one while it lasts by contacting Tracy Do Real Estate.
