Interior highlights include beamed ceilings, built-in shelving, a smattering of stained glass, and a very festive watermelon-colored bathroom. Asking price is $915,000.

Via Sylva Khayalian, Redfin

↑ Built in 1947, this three-bedroom Pasadena home has been given a total overhaul in the nine months since it was last purchased. Now, it’s sporting an updated kitchen, remodeled bathrooms, and a fresh coat of paint. The 1,536-square-foot residence sits on a 7,562-square-foot lot with a backyard pool and spa. Last sold for $749,000, it’s now asking $929,000.

↑ This four-bedroom home in Highland Park was constructed in 1928 and includes a few nice vintage features, such as recessed shelving and living room fireplace. The 2,218-square-foot residence has two bathrooms, an open kitchen and dining area, and a very pleasant-looking little nook off the master bedroom with a wraparound panel of windows. Asking price is $925,000.

↑ This two-bedroom condo off of Wilshire in Westwood is looking a little spare right now, but we suppose that helps draw attention to the ample 1,402-square-feet of living space. The unit also offers hardwood floors, marble countertops, and views of the Los Angeles Country Club. It’s asking $919,000, with HOA dues of—get ready—$1,436 per month. Those go toward amenities like a pool, fitness center, and valet parking.
