Mt. Olympus (if you can stand your well-heeled friends snickering at you), is actually one of the bargains left in the Hills. Due to the "snob" penalty. Where the Birds buys you "respect" and you pay for it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-85544160768104925062009-03-29T17:30:00.000-07:002009-03-29T17:30:00.000-07:00I just saw the house at the open today.

All. <BR/><BR/>2) Happens to be across the street from "Mr. Rourke's" house. $20MM of happening.<BR/><BR/>3) The house was re-done 11 years ago, when James bought it for just under a million. You can see the 10+ years of gentle wear and tear.<BR/><BR/>4) All the fixtures that could have come from his stores clearly did. As did the furnishings. Do I see a "Joe Francis-style" "business expense as personal expense?" Perhaps. I can see "order me 4 more of the Schindler chairs when you're doing the store on Melrose and ship the extras to my house. Same front door hardware, sliding doors, etc. Even much of the same landscaping species. Wonder how much of the renno. cost was offset that way.<BR/><BR/>5) Finish levels WAY too low to support the price. Fiber board cabinets, mid tier tile, mid-tier fixtures.<BR/><BR/>6) Deferred maint. on the actual house. Dry rot in garage roof at least (note bowing).<BR/><BR/>7) Steep, steep driveway. Hurts "estate" feel.<BR/><BR/>8) On a "good day" $3.7MM tops. Tops. On a regular day, $3.2 using street averages.<BR/><BR/>9) Forget land value/tear-down. At $500 a foot to expand/built at the level of the hood and of the needs of the lot, LA city issues/codes, you can't make the math work and still make a profit.<BR/><BR/>That is all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-53461436615847183622009-03-27T16:13:00.000-07:002009-03-27T16:13:00.000-07:001:00 - Supposedly George Harrison rented a house o...1:00 - Supposedly George Harrison rented a house on Blue Jay in the late 60s and the song was inspired by his time there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-4684124693181155682009-03-27T14:21:00.000-07:002009-03-27T14:21:00.000-07:00actually, anon 12:58 PM, we have had a few $5 mill...actually, anon 12:58 PM, we have had a few $5 million one bedrooms in NYC.
