Tasteful Friends

It's very cute and modest. I'd live there in a heartbeat.

It's quite bland apart from the bathroom. Very depressing to contemplate what sells for almost two million dollars now in LA. Still, it would make a nice little starter house for somebody with that kind of cash I guess.

Rental home or just a place to stay while he's working. Doesn't Kiefer live in Toronto most of the time?

What does Kiefer Sutherland have to do with an A-list star?

^Hi, Julia! Still holding a grudge I see.

Yeah - he doesn't live there. Looks like something he may have bought for someone else.

It's one of his kid's places.

I like it a lot. It's modest, for a star. It's in really good condition. You could just move right in and unpack.

What is a “Kiefer?”

Here's the listing:

How very underwhelming.

The bathroom tile is nice enough.

This is where Kiefer brings his anonymous tricks.

Thanks R9. I like it more after seeing the pics. Modern but not too modern. I would definitely live there.

No room for a pony.

What is that neighborhood like?

I would live there. But 1,200 square feet is pretty small.

1,200 square feet is small for how many people? I think it’s a lot for 1-2 persons.

Why are they calling it a lair? It couldn't be more un lair like.

Everyone knows who Kiefer Sutherland is. He permanently A list.

It’s for when he’s in LA, which now, seems like never.

Atwater village is a good "undiscovered" neighborhood. Close to everything, but not too crowded and visible. LA's great secret is how many neighborhoods are "low key" but desirable. Mount Washington, South Pasadena, Topanda, Ocean Park, San Pedro, Larchmont, Adams....

Atwater is this cool neighborhood sandwiched between posh Los Feliz (which used to be called the gay Beverly Hills) and the Armenian-filled Glendale. Over time, it's turned into a hipster haven, with some really great architecture and lots of trees. But, you know, it's right by the busy five freeway and the currently pretty swollen LA River, which can be flood-prone. Still, along with the influx of hipsters, we've got those charming shops and trendy restaurants popping up.

[quote]The home is cute

The HOUSE is cute, not the home, OP. Unless you're admiring the toiletries on the counter.

Not to derail this thread...

Over 25 years ago, Madonna owned a Wallace Neff mansion in Los Feliz. Whenever I had out-of-town guests, I'd show them the mansion's gate—the only visible part from the street. Recently, during a jog in the area, I took a detour to run by it, only to find a massive sign on the gate, emphatically stating: "SHE DOES NOT LIVE HERE ANYMORE! Please do not ring the bell. Thank you." Now, two and a half decades later, it seems the fans are still driving the current owners crazy.

Now that you brought her up Madonna and Kiefer would have been a volatile couple.

R24 right? I think that's what Madge needs! She had a rough boy once in S. Penn. Why not now Madge?

I don't think Kiefer would be interested in Madonna these days.

I like it - so bland it looks like an Airbnb, but I'd take a cute little abode like this one over some Kardashian-type monstrosity. But I could totally see if he bought this for one of his kids or some side piece he didn't care too much about

Ewwwwww

Thinking about Lyle again Julia?

It’s staged in a bland manner, which is good and not distracting. The bones of the house are not bland. It has a lot of details and built-ins that the average house does not have.

It’s also a 100-year old house that still looks good.

I find it astonishing and a little depressing that this is what goes for almost $2M.

R32 it's LA. Everything here is a Jumbo loan.

Yeah, that’s just how it is in certain areas. This isn’t Texas.

[quote]Thanks [R9]. I like it more after seeing the pics.

Same here, R12.

[quote]1,200 square feet is small for how many people? I think it’s a lot for 1-2 persons.

Agreed, R16.

R23, what really shocking is that it's not situated in one of the fancier parts of Los Angeles. Actually, it's just north of the neighborhood of Cypress Park, which, to be honest, has had its share of issues with Hispanic gangs. It even made national headlines for a shocking drive-by shooting back in the '90s and things haven't changed that much since then.

If this is where he brings his hook ups obviously he wants privacy.

I like the house, but I wouldnt call it private.

It's not as if paparazzi are going to be lurking in such a nondescript place.

Cute on the outside, white box on the inside.

I’m just talking about the distance between the house and the street, the proximity to neighbors. I don’t think there’s even a fence or wall in the front. Hence, not so private, IMO. Low-key, probably.

I'm surprised there's no bar.

It could use a pop of color.

It's listed under his ex wife's name. Sad if that's all she got in the divorce.

It says 2BR/2BA but there's only one bath in the photos, and the listing uses "bathroom" (singular.)

Maybe there's a half bath they didn't show.

I love it but a pool needs to go back in.

No wonder Julia ran away.
