One Man’s Ceiling is a Remodeler’s Floor

If you don’t LOVE the process of remodeling or even the prospect of remodeling- Don’t Do It!   Buy a home that has already been done.  It is not a process for the faint of heart or pocketbook.  Personally, my partner and I, Dave Salzman, LOVE IT!  We absolutely love saving homes that have “great bones” but are suffering from years of neglect.  We just put our most recent project, 2001 Pacific Avenue, Manhattan Beach, CA 90266 on the MLS.  We have almost completely remodeled the home and, if we do say so ourselves, it turned out quite well.

We had an interesting Broker’s Open House today, as the property just across the street at 2000 Pacific Avenue, Manhattan Beach also went on the market this week.  It is a FIXER… of course Dave and I fell in love with it immediately.  But, alas, we are already working on our next project (just closed escrow today– stay tuned for more information about this one).  The property across the street is larger than ours, and has a larger lot. . . but,  if it were to be fixed up, and not bulldozed,  we estimate a $150,000 – $200,000 budget.  Add that to the purchase price and the buyer is in for a total price tag of $1,199,000+.  If you have the cash pocket-book and the desire. . . our warmest of wishes. . . as we believe 2000 Pacific could turn out cute.  But if you are a Man or Woman who likes an already remodeled “Ceiling,” check out 2001 Pacific Avenue!  We will be there March 17 & 18th from 12:00 – 3:00 p.m.

Fame Optimum Condimentum

Bold and Bright on the west wall of the North End Caffe are these words–translated from the Latin:  “Hunger is the Best Seasoning.”   However, hungry or not this restaurant “nails it” on freshness, flavor and creativity.  We LOVE this restaurant.  Taya Asimos and I went to lunch here today.  (When I stop in for  breakfast I always have “Eggs From Hell” a deliciously spicy egg dish–after you taste this dish once, just try and order something else!)  However, today, on the lunch menu, I ordered the Jalisco salad.  Fresh greens, cucumber, turkey, green tomatillo sauce and avocado – not only Yum and Double Yum. 

Here's what Taya had for lunch:The Mario Salad- prosciutto di parma, fresh mozzarella, checca & fried egg on spring greens

The atmosphere is crowded and bustling, but with indoor and outdoor dining, AMAZING coffee, wonderful iced teas and — quite simply — extremely tasty food, I have been pleased every time I have eaten here. Don’t miss this restaurant – hungry or not!!

GROW :: Healthy Living from the Inside Out

One of our favorite places to shop for organic produce and fresh, quality groceries is Grow in Manhattan Beach. Here’s why: their produce comes direct from the fields. It gets to them faster, so it’s fresher, better-tasting and stays fresher longer. AND their prices are comparable to a supermarket’s.

“Imagine. Fresh, wholesome produce, direct from the farmers’ fields. Hand-selected meats, fresh-caught seafood, marinated chicken breasts and carne asada. Yogurt, cheese, milk, butter and eggs. Fine wine. Not to mention a wide selection of groceries, all right here at your fingertips.”
