1680 Sunset Plaza Drive

Not my normal expensive bread and butter, at a tame 1.679 for 2,478 sqft on 5,650 sqft lot with 3 bedrooms. However this 70s home does have a very nice view that I think would be pretty hard to find at this price point. The home is small, you enter to a foyer. Kitchen off to the right, living and stairs with view and terrace in front, a small study and an odd master bedroom are to the right. Downstairs has a bed and a bath and the garage plus laundry. Home needs updating. Too many original details, though some are updated.

1575 Carla Ridge

There are many heinous modern homes in the Trousdale area. This isn’t one of them. If anything is beautiful and huge. Storage space abounds. You enter mid level, in an oddly large foyer. Upstairs brings a living are with a sunken living room, a dining room with outdoor dining and kitchen and breakfast. There is a 2 bedroom master suite with a colossal hers closet with a safe room. Her bath has orange marble and a small garden. There is another bedroom and a huge garage. Downstairs brings us to a large game and pool area. There is a swimming pool with a ramp and another bedroom. And ten zillion closets. Very big house, somewhat disjointed at times. Perfectly staged gorgeous materials, , 7,725 sqft on a 3,6155 sqft lot with some canyon views. 4 bedrooms, 6.5 bathrooms, asking 7.595.

9129 Robin Drive

Sitting on Robin Drive with no view is this rather forgettable home. The foyer opens to stairs with the kitchen to the left and living straight ahead. Living is big and looks back to pool and small guesthouse. Remember, no view here. Off of living is library, to the right of the foyer. The kitchen opens to the dining section of the massive living room. The kitchen has a maid’s room. Three bedrooms upstairs. It is rather forgettable and somewhat dull. Asking 19,000 per month or 3.5 outright for 4 bed, 4.5 bath, 3267 sqft on 19,530 sqft lot.

1451 Blue Jay Way

Might make sense on LSD. Since the house already looks to be on LSD, would LSD make it normal? Anyways, no two rooms match. There is soft wallpaper,  kiddy Astroturf, automated doors and odd colors. The layout is okay, nothing spectacular. The pool is very long, perfect for laps. In spite of the location there is no view whatsoever. The home is asking 3.995 for 3,028 sqft with 3 bed 3 bath on 11,950 lot.

1457 Blue Jay Way

Next to Stanley Kubrick’s sacrifice house (my name for it), there is potential. This home is currently a wreck but there is potential. There is a view and 6 beds and 7 baths in 5,500 sqft on a 28,870 sqft lot. Asking 4.396 for something that needs so much work is a tad high. The living room is huge and all the ceilings here are generous. Layout is hard to tell what is what with the current state of things. But there is potential here. The realtor told me how her psychic told her three dead bees would signal a change and she found dead bee number two here.

655 Sarbonne Way

This is a mogul house. Its old Hollywood glamour and perfect layout, with huge but still well sized rooms and its on the country club. It is the epitome of money and class, it had better be at 16.995. There are 7 beds and 12 baths in 14,00 sqft on a 36,820 sqft lot on the country club. You enter a foyer flanked by powder rooms. The main hall is large and two stories and opens onto the rear living room. The living room is huge and opens to a terrace that runs down to a path to the pool. The terrace is very Old Hollywood to me, with its nice shades. Foyer stairs are nice, no double spiral crap here. To the left is the dining room and the right presents a huge library. Perfection. The huge library has a swinging shelf that brings you to a study. Study has stairs and a powder before bringing you to a game room that opens onto the rear pool and cabana with beds, kitchen and tv. Game room goes to card room then back to living. Perfection. The dining room has a pantry to the massive kitchen. Kitchen island is the size of a mini. There is a craft room to the left of the kitchen and a family to the right, backs up on living room. Craft room brings us to more stairs and then maids quarters, Probably bigger than my room. There is a detached three car garage and a basketball court. I still prefer tennis. Upstairs has the biggest fucking master bathroom I’ve ever seen. The master is huge and has his and hers everything. Each bedroom ( I lost count) is huge and has a nice bathroom. The décor here is amazing too. The only thing I would change is a tennis court and dedicated gym. Perhaps more garage space. I WANT IT.
