The best magazine
The wonderful mls in Los Angeles has posted some new pictures of a home for sale. So what? Well, this little hacienda is currently owned by non-other than Director Michael Bay. In between blowing up things on film, he has been busy with this little charmer, and fixed it up so he can sell it for a profit. The asking price is $13,000,000.00. I like to see the zeros. According to our local Los Angeles sans reality star Josh Flagg, the Los Angeles real estate market is on fire. So, what's a director to do? Sell, sell, sell! I would say Mr. Bay is going to make a tidy profit on his most recent creation with the talent of Jack Warner AIA. (Please do visit their website, they have incredible designs posted which will make you drool.) The only complaint I have is that the original home was a mid-century classic that was torn down. Oh well, what are you gonna do? In case you need a refresher, Jack Lionel Warner designed the Bel Air Country Club and left this planet for higher ground in January 2013. His firm, Warner Architects, have been named four times in Architect Digest's list of 100 of the world's top designers and Architects. I would say they know what they are doing.
The end result is a masterpiece sitting on top of a hill with incredible views of the LA Basin.
You know the pictures can't do it justice when it has been created by a group that has created so many different award winning designs. Let's move on to Bay's su casa for sale in Los Angeles.
According to Redfin, (one of my favorite research sites, by the way) this house also features a maid's quarters. Now, I don't want to get snarky here, but, isn't there a better name for the separate quarters? I mean, seriously, in politically correct Los Angeles, I don't think the listing agent should refer to it as that. Let's call it an assistant's quarters or something along those lines. I just don't believe you are going to find a frumpy maid there dressed in black and white. You are more likely to find a gorgeous blonde who is trying to land a role on Transformers, or the next project Michael Bay is working on.
Now, the listing agent is David Offer from Berkshire Hathaway. I guess I'm on a roll today, seriously, how did this guy happen to have such a name? Did he decide to sell real estate because of his name? There is another agent in San Diego with a great name. Ginger Profitt. Yup, that's her name. Anyway, while we are on the topic, I have to take this opportunity to voice my disdain for the logo that Berkshire Hathaway came up with after they bought out Prudential Realty. There are many of us that associated with the pleasant blue and white signs of Prudential. I mean really, Mr. Buffett, the colors you choose are dirty brown and white? Alright, enough said.
No wonder Wagner's crew has so much notoriety. The fireplace looks like it came right out of Architectural Digest. Picture perfect. So for those of you that want to see the slide show, mosey over to my website and have a gander at this 8,000 square foot masterpiece. Let me know when the housewarming party is.
