What does $3 million buy these days? The Real Estalker blog, one of our favorites, asks that question in Brentwood and comes away disappointed.
The house: a renovated five-bedroom traditional, with 3,276 square feet, owned by former ‘JAG’ stars David James Elliott and Nanci Chambers, listed for $3.25 million. No pool.
RealEstalker: ‘The Elliott/Chambers house is located in a nice, non-descript section of Brentwood that sits in the morning shadow of the Getty Museum. The area is nice, it’s Brentwood after all, but seriously people, Your Mama is falling down with flabbergast and shock to learn that home prices top $3 million in this lackluster part of town.’
More: ‘It’s not a bad house for a suburbanish family house, and clearly the couple have sunk some dough into renovating the kitchen and baths. Nonetheless, for three and a quarter million clams Your Mama wants electronic security gates and a heated swimming pool. No question about it. For that amount of money we want to feel insulated and protected from the wild and dangerous streets of Brentwood, and have a recreational oasis out back.’
