Romantic DIGGS – 880 Cumberland Rd
Things do not always go smoothly or as planned. DIGGS kept a cool head in the face of drama and closed with a second buyer for a higher net to the seller.
In the heart of prestigious Cumberland Heights is this romantic home with diamond paned leaded glass windows and a front porch dripping with flowering vines. Gleaming wood floors, gracious formal rooms, and a French Country kitchen hint at intimate dinners with friends.
Three bedrooms upstairs include 2 with built in storage walls, serene views of the mountains, and beautiful abundant light. Downstairs is a suite suitable for a master or separate mother in law quarters, with private entrance and full bath with dry sauna.
The backyard is breathtaking. There is just enough lawn, lacy shade trees, and a gated pool/spa area with waterfall that looks like a natural stone grotto. A stunning guest house faces the pool with double French doors, a soaring beamed ceiling room, fireplace and 3/4 bath.
1546 Ben Lomond Ave – Sold in 11 days
Sold in 11 days for full asking price. This home was so fantastic, we just showed it in all its glory.
There is a certain quality of light that defines a beach house on the cape. The style is relaxed but refined, as your most interesting friends gather over a great bottle of wine in the warm formal living room or over the gourmet meal you whipped up in the spacious showcase kitchen.
Laughter fills the air as the kids tumble over themselves through the bright sunroom on the way to the pool and patio area. Later, you tend to your organic “secret” veggie garden before you retire to your airy bedroom tucked into the dormers of the second floor. The day closes with a nightcap sipped on your bedroom balcony watching the sunset color the San Gabriel mountains.
It is good to be home.

Marilyn McGinnis
I have known and loved the McGinnis family for years. I was acquainted with them through Church, but I got to know them on my regular rounds through the neighborhood. I always made sure I had extra time when I knocked on their door- George would often invite me in and tell me stories of […]

Super hip, move-in ready condo with private 2-car garage
You are finally ready to invest in a place of your own. You want someplace with personality and a cool vibe. You want an open air entrance, preferably with a little outdoor sitting area to call your own- no more dreary apartment buildings for you! Your place needs a lot of light- an end unit with extra windows is just the ticket. You love your master bedroom with ensuite bath and it’s nice to know there is a second bedroom and bath that is perfect for guests when they drop by. You will get the best guests because the baths are updated and the AC is cold. Maybe you’ll even let them have a spot in the two car private garage. There is room for another car even though you’ve got a couple of motorcycles, a workbench and a few surfboards in there. How did you ever live without your own garage? Cooking is going to be a blast in the updated kitchen- even better, Whole Foods and Smart and Final are moments away. Trader Joe’s is just a tiny bit further. You work really hard and it’s good to have a sweet place to relax- you flip on the fire in the fireplace, take a sip of a cold craft brew and sigh- this is home.

TownhouseDIGGS – 423 W. Stocker St. #3 | Glendale 91202
Large updated townhouse with private 2-car garage. Contact us to request a showing.
You love the sweet and easy lifestyle of townhouse living. At the end of a long day you pull into your spacious private garage and shut the door. Workout clothes get tossed in the wash and the bikes are stored for tomorrow’s ride. The Costco haul goes in the spacious cabinets. You take the perishables to the bright, remodeled kitchen, and let the kids snack at the kitchen table. They would prefer to be on the patio just outside, but it’s too hot. Today the central AC feels heavenly. Your partner is curled up in the step up den, the fireplace is turned on, despite the weather. Later, when your friends are over, you enjoy the wide open Living and Dining Rooms and how the recessed LED lights bounce off the wood floors. You are glad you only had to tidy the 1/2 bath downstairs- the 3 bedrooms and 2 baths are upstairs and private. After everyone leaves it is time to relax in your Master Suite. Clothes go in the walk in closet, your partner is enjoying the master bath and you are relaxing by the fireplace, the second one in the unit. Ah, this is the life.

Above & Beyond is just a standard
Before I met Carin Hoffman, I worked with two other agents from two different companies. The first one was not a go-getter and quite frankly kind of lazy. The second one was very impatient and snappy and I felt like I was walking on eggshells. Then Carin came into the picture and everything changed! She […]

Eleven years later, Eric and Kathy tracked me down because they had decided to combine households with Kathy’s mother. They needed to find a suitable home to fit […]

The formal Dining Room leads to a super cool kitchen with high, wood beamed ceilings, tons of light, storage and a commercial style stove. Three bedrooms include a lovely master with walk-in closet and remodeled en suite bath. The large hall bath is also remodeled.

Sit. Relax. Listen to the breeze. Float away to the sounds of the running fountain.
You want peace and quiet. You love a real “neighborhood”, but prefer to see nothing but the verdant trees and hear little other than the breeze and the birds. Welcome to a remodeled contemporary home that enjoys almost complete privacy. The open floor plan features large formal spaces, well appointed kitchen and baths, and large home theater that could serve as a 4th bedroom suite. The master suite features lavish bath and walk in closet. Numerous skylights light most rooms during the day, and all LED lighting takes over at night. A 5.88 kw solar electric system means low, low utilities! The nearly carefree yard features large entertainment deck, sheltered sitting porch and separate yard (currently a kid’s yard) down below.
