Short-Selling Streamline Moderne in the Hollywood Hills

There's been a steady stream of Streamline Modernes hitting the market lately. Continuing the streak is this listing in the Hollywood Hills, just a couple doors down from the Lorcan O'Herlihy-remodeled one that temporarily housed conductor Gustavo Dudamel. Built circa 1950, the 1,698-square-foot residence features three bedrooms, one-and-a-half baths, a stepdown formal living room, French doors, two fireplaces (one indoors, one on the patio), and a detached, two-car garage. A short sale, it was listed on July 7 for $950,000, but a mere two weeks later got dealt a sizable chop down to $735,000.
