What is wrong with you LA people? Do you not realize the freaking steal, not to mention gorgeous place to live if you buy my house? I guess not.
The house that is in the future. THE FUTURE. (Do you not see the ironic possibilities in living in the future?!!!) The magical place where I totally kicked ass and had an amazing time and saw a totally different side of Los Angeles. A house filled with gorgeous colors, tiled floors, outdoor patios, decks, terraced gardens. This is the most insanely beautiful place you will find for under 3/4 a million dollars. Everyone is impressed when they come visit. It is comfortable and beautiful, compact and spacious and owned by two famous bloggers. :)
Custom mosaic work done by reckless author Gloria Mattioni. It's a house for anyone who is passionate and wanting to TAKE OVER THE WORLD or minimally create their own kick ass world (and I'm not talking about Second Life.) It's secretly hidden and yet so obvious in the future.
It provides the quietude for introspection and uninterrupted work, while being a short drive from hipster Silverlake, developing hipsterness atwater village, the artist overloaded brewery to the south. It's nearby to beautiful wilderness areas with wildlife like the neighborhood raccoons, deer, a coyote or two and lots of hawks. It's great for dogs and friendly for cats. The yard is like a magical forest where you can get lost in levels of greenery.
I'm really disappointed in you LA. Really and in you home buyers too. I mean, how picky are you going to be? This house is gorgeous. There is plenty of room. It is easy to upkeep it (the yard and inside). It's going to look great with your furniture. And it's so fun to entertain in the black and red kitchen.
Oh, and here is a video I made of the interior. Yeah, it's a little shaky.
I know everyone wants a deal, and wants to pay as little as they possibly can to get the best deal every. But please, let's remember, we paid a lot of money for the house. We have to pay a realtor to sell it (cause again, you lame asses didn't take my offer when I tried selling it myself last year - I even gave you cash back and had a mortgage broker ready to pre-approve you.) so I'm sorry, it is a lot of money. But to own a house in LA, on Future street, in a house that is gorgeous, ready for your dreams to become reality, it's really not that much. The money will appear when the time is right.
Just like I wait here, for the magical person or couple who has the daring and delight to own the future.
Future St? Cool. That's right near the Self Realization Fellowship on Mt Washington.
Don't take it personally that nobody wants to buy your house. Nobody is buying houses right now. Now that prices have stopped going up, anyone who isn't desperate is just waiting to see what happens next. So they're not buying. I saw the same thing happen in 1990. The only way you're going to sell now is to drop the price enough to make them jump. And you may not want to do that just yet.

Stan, I know, I know. I am just impatient. But the time will come, when the time is right. It is the future you know. You can't make it happen any faster than it's already happening.
PS. Yes, it's near the self-realization fellowship.

And I think Future St will have to be an upcoming bike sightseeing trip. We have a route that goes up Mt Washington by the Self-Realization place, so it would be just a short detour.

Stan, note that the future is a tricky twisty place. ;) I love the views from the top of the hill though. :)

the video seems to stick after 4 minutes and won't go beyond "Master Bedroom and ..." even though it shows it's all loaded. Otherwise it's great! I got all nostalgic on the patio, thinking of the night I met that hunky Swede with the fast hands...

If I might offer a well-meaning note... there's what looks to be a large tweaked window screen visible as you pan around from the backyard that you might want to think about either removing or fixing. It's amazing how something little like that cand sabotage a buyer's enthusiasm.
