Double trouble in a Brentwood condo building

First Dutton’s Books, now this: a double foreclosure in a Brentwood condo complex right around the corner from the old book shop.

The address is 11959 Dorothy St. One unit, a two-bedroom, two-bath, is listed for $550,000, and the listing says, ‘Bank-owned REO foreclosure.’ (It also says ‘hip, sleek and stylish,’ but I’ll let you be the judge of that.)

Inside the same building, another two-bedroom, two-bath, also in foreclosure, listed for $499,900. ‘REO priced to sell!’ the listing says.

A third condo in the same building, a one-bedroom, one bath, is listed for $489,000.

A reader who has seen some of the units writes, ‘I wish I would have taken my camera with because one of the units was completely empty except for a sheriff’s notice to get off the property. The notice was displayed nicely on top of the mantle over the fireplace!’

Someone better at surfing the Web than yours truly can probably determine peak sales prices and dates on these units, and that someone would win the award of L.A. Land Sleuth of the Day.
