Open Housing January 4 of 7

581 Chalette Drive

Okay, confession time. The Trousdale Estates, in spite of some phenomenal views and renovated homes, just doesn't do it for me. It doesn't feel like Beverly Hills, more like a more conservative Hollywood with bigger yards to me. But what do I know?

Entry. Yes, that would be a carport to your left in a nearly 8 million dollar home. 

That brings us to the heart of the problem. Regardless of my tastes, the price is high. It’s a nice house. It really is. Just not worth 8 million bucks of nice. That is a very optimistic price for a home that has a carport. 


Not included: the weird hipsters outside posing with a motorcycle. 

Layout is pretty solid. Dual living rooms open onto a terrace and pool with debatably clearer (though less expansive) views than the Nightingale House. 

Kitchen. Yes, everything in this house is white. 

Red wine party? I think not. 

Open cabana thing off to one side of the pool. 

I guess its a study? 

All the bedrooms are good sized and the layout is solid. The home is blindingly white in terms of color and décor and could use some color to make it friendlier.
