Brentwood Architectural Ripe for a Flip!
By Peter Lorimer

20121010-081921.jpgThis 3000 Sq Ft Mid Century house is perched upon a ridge in Brentwood with views that cascade across park like vistas all the way to Century City.

20121010-082148.jpg
It’s practically untouched, apart from some bad 90’s bathrooms, so you can transform this dull diamond into a beautiful shining gem.

20121010-082339.jpgThis home could easily be transformed into an uber chic multi level pad similar to some of the finest homes in the Hollywood Hills. The bones are there folks so bring the elbow grease and a good eye and you have a viable and lucrative property in an area that will always remain one of the best in LA.
