As I have referenced in a previous post, I have really been digging the new Melrose Place. Is it trashy - yes! Are the bisexual undertones a cheap ploy for ratings - yes! Has Heather Locklear had so much botox that she talks like I was talking after I had a deep cleaning at the dentist with mouth completely shot up with novocaine the other day - hell yes (agents and clients who spoke with me that day know what I am talking about)! What does this have to do with today's hot prop - not much other than if you truly want to live the real life Melrose Place experience, this building is it.
Like I always say, I have literally seen every single condo in the West Hollywood/Sunset Strip area and trust me, there are many exqusite units that I would happily live in if I could! The condo I am featuring today has one word to describe it - special. Located behind gates perched above Sunset Blvd with Carney's (chili cheese anything is my weakness) right below and The Standard directly across the street, I have never seen anything like the building I am about to describe. Designed by mid century architecture mastermind, Edward Ficket, this seven unit building is shaped like a crescent with two levels of units consisting of walls of paned glass and French doors leading out to the pool below. Back to the Melrose reference, the brick encased pool is the centerpiece of the building facing the city lights of the Strip with amazing views of The Sunset Tower Hotel (formally The Argyle). It's almost as if a Hollywood Hills mansion was subdivided into 7 condos - truly a stunning building. What's remarkable is that you are a 1 minute walk to Sunset, but once in the building you are completely removed from the noise below.

Inside features 3 fireplaces, dark hardwood floors, a recently redone kitchen with top of the line appliances, chic fixtures, a guest bedroom with large loft space, and lots of pocket doors giving you options on how to create the "flow" within the unit. The price was just reduced from $799,000 to $765,000 making this a great deal. The turnover is extremely low here and if a condo does happen to rent, it is in the $4000 plus range. If you are looking for the epitome of the fabulous LA life and in my humble opinion a solid investment, this is it.
