Sunset Park Top Property: An Extraordinary Santa Monica Townhome with Rooftop Views All Around
by Janis Gabbert on May 4, 2012This week on the Sunset Park broker caravan there were no single family homes open. But I did find a new listing that was a good bargain by anyone’s estimation. Rarely is there anywhere in Santa Monica a three bedroom townhome with private garage of this size or condition under $700,000. Townhomes with direct access private garages and inside laundry are the first step below a house and the top of the heap in condominium offerings.
Sunset Park Top Property: Shangri-La Found in Santa Monica
by Janis Gabbert on April 27, 2012This week on the Sunset Park broker caravan there was a new listing that was truly a home in paradise. Buyers and agents wandered the property and were mesmerized by the atmospheric magic of light, high ceilings and landscaping. This property is hot and will soon be someone’s future dream home.
Sunset Park Top Property: New Listing Sells Within the First Week
by Janis Gabbert on April 27, 2012Last week on the Sunset Park broker caravan there was a new listing that everyone was hovering over starting during the first hour. Agents were clamoring for showings and buyers were imagining themselves in every room. This property is hot and rightly so.
2401 31st Street, arrived on the market April 12th, with 2,116 square feet (per the owner), listed for $1,299,000. With 3 bedrooms, den and 2 3/4 baths on a 6000 square foot lot, this house has been impeccably created and maintained by its designer owner.

Sunset Park Top Property: Santa Monica’s Best Kept Secret
by Janis Gabbert on April 6, 2012This week on the Sunset Park broker caravan there was only one house open and it was on one of my favorite streets – an effective “double cul-de-sac” created by the loop of Linda Lane and Paula Lane, only accessible from Marine Street, between 11th and 16th.

Sunset Park Top Property: English Cottage Revival REO Gets Scooped Up Fast
by Janis Gabbert on March 22, 2012This week on the Sunset Park broker caravan there were only two houses open and they were both budget-priced foreclosures, owned by banks, known as REO’s. I liked this home, fading but once charming inside and out, still shows its 1927 English Cottage Revival Architectural roots.
Sunset Park Top Property: Expanded Contemporary Traditional Feels Brand New
by Janis Gabbert on March 15, 2012I stumbled into an essentially brand new home on the Sunset Park broker caravan this week. Once a modest 2/1 aging traditional that sat on the market for over a year throughout most of 2009 into 2010, this house has blossomed into a much larger contemporary traditional with all the elements that today’s new house buyer expects: from fresh and tailored landscaping to a light and bright interior with high coffered ceilings, broad layered crown moldings/baseboards with a sprawling fully equipped kitchen overlooking an expansive family room.
Sunset Park Top Property: Move-in Ready Post-Modern Spanish Colonial
by Janis Gabbert on March 8, 2012There was only one house on the Sunset Park broker caravan this week. Although it was on the market last year, it never sold. Now it has been restaged to inspire and show off its architectural features and fresh design attitude. It’s what I would dub a Post-Modern Spanish Colonial, with a real nod to the earlier 20th century revival architecture, somewhat simplified for the late 20th century design sense.
