So the question is does high design really bring in that kind of premium? I can't wait to see the graph of what people think.

You and friend walks in.
It's 20 years past Jr. high, you graduated from law school at the top or your class, passed the bar on the first try and for all your hard work.

You: Welcome to my (clears throat)...house.
Friend: Oh, this is cute.
You: Would you like me to give you the tour.
Friend: Uh...ok.
You: Done.
Friend: Well, I'm getting tired.
You: Why don't I set up the couch for you to go to sleep.
Friend: Wow, Its just like Jr. High School.
You: Dude, please stop watching me sleep or I'll put up a wall so you can't see me sleeping in my little alcove. I'd like to fart in peace.


Well, at least you are not in a van down by the river.

I love this house and I guess someone else does cause it's in escrow.

One might confuse this for a W Hotel room,
extended stay.

S.M. + Dwell Magazine + claustrophobia = $1.1M

By all estimates, this place is overpriced if it's more than $233,000.

1,199,000

By burt bakman at August 26, 2007 12:33 AM

with all the current speculation a qualified buyer could
negotiate the price to 500k. I am currently going thru escrow
and on friday the going rate for a jumbo 7 year fixed was close
to 9% for an someone with a middle credit score. Money's just
got much more expensive.

By supercube at August 26, 2007 10:58 AM

i'll say 972,000 and not a penny more

By neil at August 26, 2007 3:16 PM

$1,100,000

By HollyWould at August 26, 2007 5:07 PM

Even in santa monica, this should not go for over $1000 psf. I'd say $695k. And there's no way I'd pay that for it.

By seven at August 26, 2007 10:30 PM

Really depends on what area, but can eliminate due to size. N of Montana doesn't have houses this small. My guess is Sunset Park or Ocean Park. With that said, $1.1 million

By Mary Quite Contrary at August 27, 2007 8:49 AM

I think MQC makes a very valid point re: location. Patty Cake makes an even more valid point about the carpet(s?) Even with THAT said, however, I think for ONE bedroom and ONE bath the asking price will be a still-unconscionable $898,000.

When was this house in Dwell?

By Joshman at August 27, 2007 11:11 AM

41.

Josh -- I think this house is in EVERY issue of Dwell. Or some extremely close variation.

By OneWag at August 27, 2007 11:17 AM

$900K

By Ellen at August 27, 2007 11:19 AM

This sure looks like the house down the street from me in Ocean Park on Navy St.

Wasn't it listed at about $860K???

Thank God I already own... My house hunting friends who saw this puppy and the 1.6 million dollar 3 bedroom on Marine St. are getting depressed...

By Skwerl at August 27, 2007 11:48 AM

I'm bored.

Is this like my old show?

$1

By bob barker at August 27, 2007 12:27 PM

looks like there is view. comps with condo for size but no hoa so guessing 900k

By amstellight at August 27, 2007 12:37 PM

Mary Quite Contrary has the rationale right but not the price. I go with $1,390,000.
