THE WILKINSON STORY

Update 1

THE SITUATION:

You’ve lived in your home for 30 years—it’s time to sell, but where do you start? Over the years, your house has become your home—maybe the walls haven’t seen fresh paint in ages, you still love your vintage appliances, and that green flocked wallpaper? Classic. Your first thought: I just want a builder to take it as-is and be done with it.

THE ANALYSIS:

Wilkinson was a similar situation. The home, loved but worn, had roof leaks, outdated features, and signs of years of pets and life. Selling off-market seemed easy—one buyer, no hassle. The offer? $1,500,000—but with contingencies. No competition meant the buyer controlled the deal.

Update 2

THE WORK:

PCREG stepped in with a better strategy. Instead of an off-market sale, we prepped the home for listing:
Packed and relocated personal belongings.
Pulled up old carpet, painted, and refreshed landscaping.
Cleared out excess clutter for a cleaner, more inviting look.
Total cost: $10,000

THE REACTION:

A 10-day marketing plan with two open-house weekends led to:

* 100+ buyers touring the home.

* 60 brokers showing serious buyers.
* Maximum exposure and competitive offers.

Update 3

THE RESULTS:

Off-market offer: $1,500,000

Market analysis "as-is" price: $1,600,000

Post-refresh listing goal: $1,700,000

Actual sale price: $1,880,000

A $10,000 investment turned $380,000 more for the seller.

Still thinking off-market is the way to go? If results matter, we're here to help.

Original listing description

Nestled in the heart of the highly coveted Footbridge neighborhood of Studio City, this enchanting 1930s single-story home exudes charm and character that is second to none. Perfectly positioned on a gentle knoll behind a classic white picket fence, it offers a serene escape while still being a stone's throw away from the vibrant energy of Ventura Boulevard, known for its eclectic mix of dining, shopping, and cultural experiences.

As you approach, the bright buttercup yellow front door beckons you inside, welcoming you into a space that beautifully balances old-world charm with modern comfort. The formal entry sets the tone, guiding you to a living area with soaring cathedral ceilings and exposed oak floors, perfectly complemented by one of two unique beehive fireplaces. This room flows seamlessly into a banquet-sized formal dining room with distinctive brick flooring, beamed ceilings, and French doors that open directly to the tranquil, backyard. Here, you’ll find a swimmer’s pool and spa, creating an ideal setting for relaxation or entertainment.

The home's heart is undoubtedly its large, eat-in kitchen, designed as much for form as for function. Boasting ample cabinets, newer stainless-steel appliances, and granite countertops, it is a dream space for culinary enthusiasts or those who aspire to create a true chef’s kitchen experience. The kitchen, along with the spacious den, shares the warm brick flooring, imbuing these areas with a cozy, welcoming vibe.

The thoughtful layout continues with two distinct bedroom wings. The primary suite, located at the end of a hallway lined with French doors leading to the backyard oasis, offers a retreat-like atmosphere. It features a wall of wardrobe closets, and a private bath complete with a soaking tub and separate stall shower. The second wing includes two additional bedrooms, each with its own unique charm. One features vaulted ceilings and a beehive fireplace, while the other was the former primary suite, offering generous proportions and excellent natural light.

This residence hasn’t been on the market in over 25 years, representing a rare opportunity to own a piece of Studio City history in a highly sought-after location. While it awaits some updates and repairs, it offers a breathtaking canvas upon which to create your dream home.

Imagine morning coffees on the sunny front porch, weekend strolls across the Footbridge to the bustling farmer’s market, or intimate gatherings in your private backyard sanctuary. This property will appeal to discerning buyers who appreciate timeless architecture and who desire a home that blends seamlessly with the unique culture and lifestyle of Studio City. Its proximity to award-winning schools and major Hollywood studios makes it a perfect choice for professionals and families alike, especially those who value community, comfort, and convenience.
