This is my dream house. I don't own it. I can't afford it but this is the house I would like to live in. FOREVER. It is for sale. Anyone have a solution on how I am to get this house?

The home is located in the center of Los Angeles on a street called Kilkea. It is 3bed/3bath with a pool. The house is set on a lovely lot with a front courtyard and a gorgeous landscaped backyard.

I wandered into this house one Sunday afternoon a few weeks ago during an open house. I was mesmerized. The serene neutral colors...the stunning dark(almost ebony) hardwood floors, the bright white walls and the wonderful architectual and design detail.

What I liked most is that this 1928 Spanish style house was completely remodeled recently but still has much of the character of the old house...with arched doorways, curved ceilings, plaster walls and of course the classic Spanish roof tiles cap off the old world home made modern.

The owner designed the house herself with the help of Roberto Sexias from The Sunset Team. The staging was done by Meredith Baer and Associates.
The house is being offered for sale by The Sunset Team.

The price tag: $1,699,000. Worth every penny in my view!


Dining room - An arched doorway takes you from the entryway to the light airy dining room in my dream house. Coved ceilings and large windows and hardwood floors make up the framework. The room is elegantly and simply decorated with a large rectangular dark wood rustic dining table, white upholstered dining chairs, a simple wrought iron chandelier and the finishing touch on the staging is white french tulips in a clear glass vase. Love it. Photo copyright The Sunset Team/La Kaza Design 2008 (above)
