Lynne Pope is your Realtor in Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach and Redondo Beach

Hermosa Beach Living room

Turn being trim and being home into one. Look great as you walk 3 blocks to Hermosa Beach and go from VIEWS ocean and valley fight into a full swim. This absolute beauty is Private, has amazing light filling this tiered single family home. Quiet and off the beaten path. Well its not quiet if you amp up that 7000 dollar speaker system from  Bowers and Wilken – only the best will do here.  Wine cellar closet chilling to perfection, Dry Sauna, wet sauna too. Now lets talk the California and Hermosa Beach lifestyle. Its open open plan in and out. This home has rooftop deck, balcony off living room, huge patio off Kitchen,  balcony and patio off Master Bedroom ( the master closet is as big as a room) and a fantastic patio on the family room level- instead of a yard. I was told they hung out there much of the time.  Yes this beauty has some stairs, and flooring throughout in wood and stone finishes. Doesn’t it sound heavenly?  It is.

Valley and light views from Kitchen patio

What about a home with ocean view from the family room and Kitchen where you entertain and everyone can flow from the cook to the deck and see everyone as the eat, drink and mill around the lovely beach atmosphere? Yes they can go up to the rooftop deck and have a panoramic view from Malibu to Catalina. The balconies in this home let in the outside ocean waves sounds and the fountains in the courtyard or deck. 360 degree light Delights everyone. Gated backyard will make a happy safe spot for your pets.

Its a small world. Your neighbors would be people that you would love to meet. Everyone is casual here and walk the dogs around the streets stopping to chat and greet. Since I live right down the street I can easily show the homes I have listed nearby. Yes I have been blessed to represent families in houses all around the North Hermosa community.

Hermosa has so much to offer in quality of lifestyle. The home is an easy walk to downtown, the library, shops and restaurants. Best of all its a short walk to the beach about 2 blocks.

It has a 1 bedroom 1 bath guest house. It is a legal duplex but because of its Main home and 650 sq ft leased out unit separate and above garage it is like a single family home. Hey the income pays the taxes!   Nice.

PARKING!  5 car parking garages with 2 car and 3 car tandem. plus a Lift now its 6 car inside with 2 outside off street pull in.

WORKSHOP- or rec room or man cave. A lovely area with French doors to the patio can be used instead of the 3rd tandem car.

WHAT A PLACE!

When you sell a home or buy a home its like having a baby.

There is a lot of first time feeling. Inexperience. Wonder. Other people have done this, maybe I can too?

Same for when you buy or sell a home.

Wondering when it will happen?  When it ‘s due and when it comes is out of your hands!!!

Same for when it sells or when it closes

INSOMNIA

Same stuff

Awkward

Dont get funny  here its having the baby, not just making one.

Fixing it up to look good

Are you still with me?

9 ms or more is a long time

Once you start down the path its hard to back out

I hope you enjoy the endless support I can think of to convince you its like having a baby.

Perhaps you will enjoy the name statistics closing up the 2010 year!

Why not go to Home Depot- Lowes- online- anywhere and buy the the detector? Start now..Carbon Monoxide detectors required July 2011.

That Poison-is an odorless gas that can set off your new alarm if you have one! Cost is only about 30 dollars in a single family home. Who needs it?
Do you have an attached garage?
Do you have a fossil-fuel (wood) burning fireplace? (or appliance)
There you have it.
If you have a detached garage and no fireplace… then you don’t need one.
For thirty dollars you can give your family a safer home.

The pricier areas will likely have more short sales show up soon. Keep several things in mind…LENDERS- Investors are bidding up the lower income properties and this may be harder for the lenders who have to get people qualified for the conforming and Jumbo loans.

Redondo Beach may have some affordable properties show up in the short sale arena.

 NEW INFORMATION:

Short Sales have been difficult to close, and these new measures are a huge step in the right direction. One major highlight: A lender must give a yes or no answer to an offer within 10 days. Also included: a moving allowance, incentives for sellers and lenders, commission rules, and a stipulation that releases sellers from debt liabilities.

This is a very HOT topic. Stay tuned to know how this can help you buy or sell a home. As a CDPE specialist- (Certified Distressed Property Expert) expect to keep up on the latest breaking news.

  Open Invitation!

“Realtor.com” is one place that a lot of people start to search. For that reason I did purchase the real estate package they offer. From there you can see the  youtube video of this home. just type in the address 4511 Toucan, Torrance 90503
Virtual tour, 360 is now enhanced by a walking youtube video! Want the West High school area? Bert Lynn? and Towers?
I bought a website for this address too..http;//www.4511toucan.com

Got to love Saturday night live, because we live in California we spend about 10 times more for a house and sometimes have jobs that allow us to pay that mortgage. The Government has not really figured out the State of California and NY and a few other places don’t fit the “one size fits all ” regime of thought.

The first time home buyer credit did help one of my buyers this year! Hooray.

It was almost a miracle. Getting the right home in escrow and closing in the timeframe.  Now with the new tax credit…it could help others.

However…see if it “Fits” your income.

“The first-time homebuyer tax credit may be restricted by the taxpayer¢â‚¬â„¢s income.  The tax credit starts to phase out for an individual taxpayer with a modified adjusted gross income from $75,001 to $95,000 (or $150,001 to $170,000 for joint filers).  The tax credit is eliminated entirely if an individual¢â‚¬â„¢s modified adjusted gross income is over $95,000 (or $170,000 for joint filers).  (26 U.S.C. § 36(b)(2″

Soon I will add a page from NAR that shows the way the formula could work if you fit the income formula. Your lender and tax people will have to get involved with you to actually work out all the facts. Your realtor can help get you all you need on the house, the time frame and keep the ball in the air till your people measure your exact profile to see if it works.
