Cordova in Burbank and Denny in North Hollywood are both in escrow

1122 N. Cordova in Burbank's Magnolia Park went into escrow last week.  Now, we just need to find the sellers a place to live (offers have been submitted).  More about that later.  And 5227 Denny #101 in the North Hollywood Arts District is in escrow.  We got the call saying the offer was being submitted about an hour after the first showing on the first day.  And we have to find those sellers a place too (offer submitted there as well).  Whew! Yes, we are very lucky.

5227 Denny #101 in Noho is live on the mls!

This 3 bedroom, super-chic North Hollywood condo is now on the mls.  If you or anybody you know is looking for a unit in the Noho Arts District, this may just be the one.  Built in 2009, it's listed for $420,000 and has uber-low HOA dues -- only $261/month.  The kitchen is huge and new, there are two full baths, fireplace, balcony, extra storage and more.  We will be open on Sunday from 1 to 4.  More pics can be found at my website at www.JudyGraff.com.

Kurt Cobain recorded at my new listing! Well, or close to...

Devonshire Sound Studios on Denny and Magnolia in North Hollywood was famous back in its day as one of the premiere recording studios in the Southland.  Alas, Devonshire is now Salami Studios, but its storied history lives on.  And you can live close to that history at 5227 Denny #101.  This chic condo will be listed for $420,000 in a few days, and features 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, newer construction, a big kitchen, gorgeous bamboo floors and more.  As you may know, the Noho Arts District is undergoing a lot of rehabbing, including widening Magnolia and planting more trees.  I'll have the condo open on Sunday from 1 to 4; more pics tomorrow!  (And yes, I'm sure that Kurt is rolling in his grave.)

Record-breaking crowd at yesterday's open house

I counted over 200 people at yesterday's open house at 1122 N. Cordova in Burbank.  This is a record for an open house of mine. (Previous record was 135 last summer.) This is due to the still-low interest rates and the shortage of inventory.  Yes, the property has offers on it.

Open today from 1 to 4: 1122 N. Cordova, Burbank

Please come visit Steve and me today at this great 3+2 home for $535,000 in Magnolia Park.  Big backyard, fresh paint, new windows, all copper plumbing, big master, and hardwood floors are just some of the features.  Plus, the home is close to Portos, Its a Wrap, Romancing the Bean, Mindful Nest, the Chandler bike path and more Magnolia Park attractions.

"Quiet" listings versus "pocket" listings

You learn something new every day.  I just learned that pocket listings aren't pocket listings if listing paperwork has been completed.  If that's the case, the listing is a "quiet" listing.  "Pockets" are only those homes that have no written agreement between the seller and the listing agent. So 621 N. Keystone is a quiet listing, not a pocket listing. 

Not on the mls! 3+1 character home in Burbank is for sale for $635,000

This is 621 N. Keystone, Burbank, and as you can see, it's a 1920's character home.  It's for sale but it's not on the multiple listing service.  It's what we call a "pocket" listing and it may be on the market soon, but for right now, it's being privately marketed.  It is nice inside and has original detailing including windows, fireplace decorations, hardware, etc.  It may need paint and a few cosmetics to restore it to its former glory. The kitchen has been redone and the bathrooms have been updated in original character style.  Of course, it has a great Magnolia Park location and a huge yard.  If you're interested, please contact me for a showing.

Gorgeous Cape Cod in Adams Hill is now on the market

Check out 1221 E. Palmer in the Adams Hill section of Glendale -- it will be on the mls Saturday and is listed for $499,000. More pics can be found on my website at JudyGraff.com.  This adorable home is notable for its outstanding maintenance and the restoration of its original character charm, along with its peaceful hillside location.  The seller has done a beautiful job in making this perfect -- no detail has been overlooked. With peek-a-boo views from almost every room, this 2 bedrooms, 1-1/2 bath cottage also features a dining room, gorgeous hardwoods, large kitchen, dormer windows, laundry room (all appliances stay), garage, storage, central heat and air, and a flat backyard. Updated electrical service and plumbing, refreshed landscaping plus a whole-house fan complete the picture.  Adams Hill is located in south Glendale and is adjacent to Atwater and Eagle Rock.  This pristine neighborhood of character homes was listed by L.A. Magazine as “One of the Ten Best Neighborhoods (That You’ve Never Heard of).”  Please call me if you'd like to see it -- it will be open on Feb. 10 from 1 to 4.
