New Mar Vista listing

Friday, August 31st, 2007

Check out this great new listing in the Mar Vista tract. Designed by Gregory Ain, the 4 bedroom/ 1.5 bath home is listed at $1,350,000. I really like these houses, and they don’t come on the market often. Someone should snatch it up quickly. As a new feature of homes4hipsters, I am going to start [...]

Big Lot in Brentwood!

Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

No, they would never put a Big Lots in Brentwood. But this mid-century home does have a big lot, about 15,551 square feet. At $1,599,000 it’s not a bad price, considering it has 4 bedrooms and over 3600 square feet in one of the nicest zip codes in the entire history of the universe.

Long Beach Cliff May in escrow

Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

The first post in homes4hipsters contrasted two very different Cliff May homes. One was listed for $14.5 million in Rolling Hills Estates. The other, less “fabulous” one was listed for $655,000 in Long Beach. You shoulda’ bought it when you had a a chance… oh well.  This house was a foreclosure, so I bet the [...]

Everything’s so nice and pretty

Sunday, August 5th, 2007

 
When you live in Beverly Hills, you demand nothing but the finest. When you want to rent in Beverly Hills, you rent a mid-century modern retreat for $7500 a month. A little expensive for my taste. But if you happen to be in L.A., and you need a place to crash while you record your next gold [...]

My condo is so small…I have to go outside to change my mind!

Saturday, August 4th, 2007

OK,OK… so I’m not Shecky Green. I found an article that I think would be useful for just about everyone reading this blog. It is about maximizing the usefulness of the space you live in. Not everyone lives in a 600 sq ft condo, but I go into 2500 sq ft houses that are still [...]
