What Can You Get for Under $1 Million in LA?
While it’s true that $1 million isn’t nearly what it used to be, you might be surprised to learn what you can get in and around Los Angeles for a less-than-7-figure price tag.
For example, 4640 Danza Street, in the Woodland Hills area, is a 2,200+ square foot 1960’s style abode that offers three bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths – along with some fantastic valley views – for below $950K.
Here you’ll find an updated kitchen, as well as a great room with 16-foot glass slider doors which lead to a newly-refinished deck, and a relaxing built-in spa. The home – and its reasonable price tag – also include a new energy efficient roof , as well as a brand new rooftop air conditioning system.
Looking for something more in the Highland Park locale?
For a fantastic value, along with more than 1,700 square feet of interior living space, 1014 Adelante Avenue offers three bedrooms and three full baths.
This mid-century ranch home includes a number of nice features, such as a large living room fireplace, quartz counters, and a laundry room area that is nestled ideally between the garage and the spacious kitchen. At a current list price of $958,000, this home won’t last long on the market.
Either of these homes can be viewed by calling to schedule a private tour today.
Rare Opportunity to Own the Original King of Rock and Roll’s Honeymoon Home
With five bedrooms and five baths, this former honeymoon home of the original King of Rock and Roll – and named the “House of Tomorrow” back in 1962 – offers plenty of living space within its 5,000 square feet. Uniquely designed in a circular shape (by the iconic architect William Krisel), the home consists of four “stacked” spaces.
Mr. Presley actually rented the home for a time in the mid-1960s, and following their wedding in 1967, Elvis and Priscilla returned to this abode. The residence sits on over an acre of ground, which also includes a tennis court and an oversized, sparkling backyard pool.
Numerous floor to ceiling windows let in plenty of natural light, providing a bright and neutral feel throughout, and offering a fantastic view of the San Jacinto Mountains and the Coachella Valley.
Although the home, which is located in a private cul-de-sac at 1350 Ladera Circle in Palm Springs, was on the market back in 2014 with a price tag of just under $10 million, it is currently listed with an asking price of $5.9M. Private tours can be arranged for those who are interested in this rare opportunity.
As-Is Hermon Property a Blank Canvas of Potential
Conveniently situated in prime proximity to South Pasadena, Montecito Heights, and Highland Park, this two-bedroom, 1.5 bath home, originally built in the mid-1900s, is just waiting for the right buyer to bring its nearly 1,200 square feet back to perfection.
The one-story ranch offers numerous windows and high ceilings, which allow for plenty of natural sunlight. Other amenities include a bonus room, a unique fireplace, and a sizeable back yard that could be the perfect spot for entertaining.
Sitting quietly for some time, the home has not been listed for sale in nearly 40 years. In its present as-is condition, though, it can make for a blank slate, just waiting for its new owner’s personal touch.
As an added bonus, there is also a vacant lot next door – which is under the same ownership – presently available for sale, garnering this a truly unique opportunity to own a diamond in the rough in this quickly growing real estate market.
This property, which is located at 6235 Pine Crest Drive in the Northeast LA community of Hermon, is currently listed for sale at $549K. Private tours can be arranged for interested purchasers.
Charming Holmby Hills Mansion with Presidential History on the Market
Imagine entertaining in the same magnificent surroundings where former U.S. Presidents Reagan, Bush, and Clinton, along with Hollywood royalty such as Zsa Zsa Gabor and Joan Collins, once attended as the guests of entrepreneur and philanthropist Marcia Israel-Curly.
Originally built in 1937, this 7,500 square foot masterpiece – which is set among greenery and terraces – has 7 bedrooms and 9 baths, a library, an updated eat-in chef’s kitchen, and spacious living and dining room areas.
You’ll marvel at the early 20th century architecture, which includes beautiful arches, impeccable crown molding, and a multitude of French doors throughout. Numerous windows allow for plenty of natural light throughout the home as well.
On the exterior you’ll find a 6-car garage, with plenty of additional outdoor space for vehicles. Adorning the approximately 1.7 acres there is a myriad of gardens and walking paths and a grandiose in-ground swimming pool, along with a playground for younger residents and guests. Situated at the end of a secluded drive, the estate also offers plenty of privacy.
This property is located at 10350 Sunset Boulevard in Holmby Hills, and it is currently listed for sale at $29.5 million. Private tours can be arranged for interested purchasers.
Want to Call the Most Expensive Penthouse in LA Your New Home?
If you’ve been patiently waiting to stake your claim to the most expensive penthouse in all of LA, now is your chance – and you’ll have plenty of room to share it with family and friends. At approximately 18,000 square feet, this 34th floor of the Level building in downtown Los Angeles – which offers four bedrooms and 10 baths – has been deemed as an “entertainer’s dream.”
For starters, there are two temperature-controlled wine closets, which hold a total of nearly 1,200 bottles. Residents and guests alike can enjoy sipping red or white, while dining in the chef’s kitchen (complete with floor-to-ceiling windows), or in the midst of watching a game or favorite movie in the theater room.
Just a few of the added amenities that you’ll garner at this residence include a rooftop deck – where you can capture a 360-degree bird’s eye view of the city below – as well as a sparkling pool. Already fully furnished, you won’t have to pack much, provided that you’re good for the $100,000 per month rental rate.
Located at 888 Olive (at Ninth Street) in South Park, this unit is housed near one of the tallest residential buildings in the entire state of California – with a shadow that stretches across several city blocks at certain times of the year.
