Crime of the Week

This current listing on the Coldwell Banker site speaks for itself.


If anyone is interested in "This Beautiful House" in East L.A., the complete listing can be found here.

Lovely to look at

Just three doors west of the horror on Holly Mont that I blogged about a few days ago, this 4-bedroom 1928 Mediterranean is the nicest house on the block by far. And it's for sale. The current asking price is $1.687 million and from what I can see from the street, it's worth every penny.

6235 Holly Mont Drive, Hollywood

If the owner of the blighted manse down the street wants a lesson in upkeep, let him unchain his front gate and take a short walk west to study how it's properly done.

Responsible upkeep in action

I don't know the present owners or the circumstances of the sale (the house last changed hands in February 2007 for $1.547 million), but kudos are due to them for maintaining this piece of old Hollywood with the love and care it deserves.
