Hmmmm...is Andie moving back to Spartanburg, one wonders?!
ReplyDeleteIf she's from Spartanburg, maybe she'd take our house in Camden as a trade???
DeleteToo much white to keep clean. :)
ReplyDeleteIt needs some color on the walls, that's for sure.
DeleteOoh! Very tasteful; lots of possibilities. But, Andie, girl...no color?! I always thought you were better than that! Guess I'll have to bring my own when I move in! 😉
ReplyDeleteI think the white may be for the sale, and then the new owners could toss around some paint. I would.
DeleteSo many possibilities. I like it.
ReplyDeleteI love the space but it needs some color in those rooms!
DeleteSilver Lake is such an amazing place! It's gone from middle class owner occupied residential and inexpensive rentals in the late 60's to high end homes, expensive rentals, and STRs. I do love this house, it's very LA. One interesting fact about this architectural style is that folks are finding Spanish/California style homes in the flats for half the money. Sadly, it means that middle class families and low income renters are being forced further out of the city. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteI'd love a Spanish home, in the flats, to save a few coins!

Sold!!!!!!! Throw in some dark rich color and Im there!!!!! I love the woodwork and the layout is very interesting...and don't touch the bathrooms.....love them. I like the design of the staircase too.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you; give it some moody coloring and I'm sold!
DeleteA little too much white for my taste, but I really like the rest of it. Love the kitchen (which is always the first thing I look at) and the rest of it seems airy and comfortable. Color can always be added!
ReplyDeleteFrom my experience when realtors sell houses, they want the interiors white so buyers don't focus on the color of the interiors; keep it neutral, I guess.
DeleteI love!
ReplyDeleteI do have a history of ambivalence with Tudor style houses, but this one is very, very pretty. I don't mind the neutrals inside. I'd throw some artwork in the walls for some color and that'd be it. And that little flex space? Sold. Especially for the drought-tolerant gardens. Very Green.
XOXO
We're on the same page here. Let's pool our resources!

It's very pretty--just needs some color. I don't think a plunge pool would work for me because I want to swim in my pool at my $4 million house. Maybe I need a $6 million house instead.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
An upgrade for a larger pool might be in order, yes!

I will pass. Two things killed it for me. When they removed the closets by the front door, they patched the floors, leaving the inlay in front of the door look out of place. I understand preserving original, but not at the cost of looking right. Then the kitchen, open shelves are dust and grease collectors, there is a lack of storage in a $200,000 kitchen, and marble stains so easily. I will have to keep looking, and keep looking for the other 3-4-million.
ReplyDeleteI didn't notice that bad patch; for a million+ dollar home, they could have reworked the floor.
DeleteI am running a little behind. I lived in LA for a year with a friend. We were a stones throw away from Silver Lake. When I walked around the reservoir it was empty. The Silver Lake streets were confusing as hell and really curvy and narrow. But I LOVE the area. It felt like one was living in a bubble. Once you navigated out of the neighborhood, one was once again in the busyness of LA. When do I sign the contract? I have always loved a Tudor. A few things--I would add a little color. The kitchen open shelving has got to go. You would think at this price point one could do better in design. I know marble may be the it thing but is it functional in a busy kitchen and or with someone who cooks. Love the layout and light. A few tweaks and I am onboard. Bob, you and Carlos are always welcomed. I am a good host and you will not go hungry or thirsty.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind the open shelving, and I would splash some paint around, and remove the marble.
