Westside Story

4 bed, 3 bath currently in multiple offers and we actually made the cut this time. It is the ugliest and most charmless house on the block and the yard is smaller than we are used to, but the schools are excellent up to high school. The park, library and school are all within walking distance. The commutes are acceptable. There are enough bedrooms, even a guest room if we convert the ridiculous double-deep his & hers walk-in closets back to a bedroom.

Why hello 11150 Sunset Blvd, 90049! You know, we thought you were worth no more than $1.3 million on July 4, 2007. Look at you now- a new coat of paint and some carpet and you are suddenly worth $1,795,000. Your kitchen is still the hall of doom and your drainage issues look uncorrected. I think your current owner paid $1,650,000 cash in July. We are considering making an offer. Do you think $1.1 million is fair?
