Cute short sale for aviation buffs

(Disclosure: my client made an offer on this property. So have about a dozen other buyers. Currently, no more offers are being accepted. No, we don't know yet if our offer prevailed.) This cutie is 11558 Cantlay in North Hollywood. It's a 3+2, 1545 sf. short sale for $249,000. It's as nice inside as it is outside -- yes, hipsters, the style IS a little suburban. But...it has a spacious galley kitchen with new Corian counter tops and lots of storage, all the windows are new, new paint inside and outside, decent bedrooms, well maintained, attached two-car garage, nice backyard and side yard, etc. etc.

All around, this is a very nice home. If you like planes. It's just north of the Bob Hope airport. I mean just about 1000 feet from the runway. A plane landed while we viewed the home and I could count its rivets.

In spite of the location, this home sold for $507,000 at the height of the market.
