I am listing this house for my father-in-law who is not computer literate.   There are open houses scheduled for Saturday 5/9/09 and Sunday 5/10/09 from 1-4 pm, PST.   I also have keys and can arrange showings so please don't hesitate to call, toll free: (866) 566-0778.   You can also email me at mailto:alansandleman@charter.net.

Bordered by Glendale and Eagle Rock on the North, Mt Washington and Pasadena to the East, Los Feliz to the West and Downtown Los Angeles to the south, this home combines easy access to the 5, 2, 101, 110, 134/210 corridors and fast drives to the adjacent areas with an amazing modern sanctuary to come home to and entertain from.  This Northwestern 180 Degree unobstructed view custom modern architectural beauty is a real eye-catcher--inside or out; with sliding doors to two floors of wide balconies and about 500 square feet of landscaped and irrigated backyard there's plenty of room for indoor-outdoor entertaining.  The house has a spacious 2-car attached garage with a large  concrete third exterior space that can fit a boat or another car and easily attach a carport for coverage. 

Steel-beamed construction provides the security of knowing you have the kind of structural integrity that all hillside homes should have been built with--it’s solid throughout.   Lighting was designed by a lighting engineer to provide a dramatic statement from any angle on the outside and to create a sophisticated warmth in any room inside.   At the same time, the oversized walls of store front grade Low-E, Dual Glazed Aluminum Windows flood the flowing open space of the home with natural light and provide 180-Degree unobstructed views to the west, south and north--you’re going to love this home!   

Inside, the one-of-a-kind custom architectural elements clearly set this home apart with its metal floating staircase and double-high wall of windows the full breadth of the home.  The sleek stainless steel kitchen is recessed into flush-fit modern oak cabinetry with self-closing drawers and crowned with rich, pitch-black imported granite.   The kitchen island has a breakfast nook and sets a boundary to a long formal dining area treating you and your guests with expansive views for your dinner parties or family gatherings, perfect for entertaining and being a part of at the same time.   The bamboo flooring throughout provides a fresh warm wood surface with an understated reminder that your home is eco-friendly.  The home combines a cool, natural look with a feeling of measured opulence created by Italian Porcelain Tiles within the spa-inspired bathrooms.  Recessed lighting throughout, of the most energy efficient type, illuminates everything bringing warmth to the interior and spilling out into the night, making for a warm, glowing, inviting presence.   The upstairs has the living spaces and a 1/2 bath, the downstairs has three bedrooms (including master), central entertaining area, two full baths and a laundry room.  The efficient basement has a backyard access.   Two floors of balconies with sliding glass doors bring the outside in and the inside out; giving the home that true-feeling of California indoor-outdoor living.     

Last but not least, at over 11% below the last three months average comp/square foot--its a bargain and it's priced to sell…fast; hurry, you don’t want to miss this one!  

At an asking price of $1,050,000--jit is ust $10,000 higher than the house next door recently sold for (which is nearly 300 square feet smaller).  At asking price Owner may carry fully amortized at 5% with 20% down contingent on buyer’s credit, or will consider lease at $4,000/month.   Call Alan, toll free: (866) 566-0778.   You can also email me at mailto:alansandleman@charter.net.
