Euler look at these large windows the original windows restored again the molding all restored it's so exquisite detail in here is phenomenal isn't it and this house is over a hundred years old and it's just so beautifully restored the floor is original and then you have this stunning fireplace identify Pinay here's more of a casual family room that transcends into your outdoor space look at that you have that classic element of the old-world charm here you've got the French doors that open up to your patio for being in downtown LA and then such a busy street there's so much privacy right

it is the bathroom was to die for that tub his and hers closets old Hollywood glamour I loved it what about you I love dad so let's talk about the next thing it's really important what do you think the asking price is on this house I don't know I would go up to maybe fifteen million at least nine point nine million gets you all of this and I know it's over your budget because you were sort of in the range of 40 but I wanted to show you how much more you could get for just a little bit more because we have two more houses to see okay it's always good to compare okay lowest to highest range and see what you get for all of that and then make a decision okay so let's go to the second house are you ready to see that one I am the other two better be spectacular because that one's gonna be hard to beat we have two more luxury properties to check out on this LA house hunt first we check out this superlative 5 bedroom canyon estate embedded at Canyon then we check out this sophisticated 4-bedroom Beverly Hills home with amazing treetops canyon views above Coldwater Canyon stay tuned welcome back hi Kathy how are you I hear you we are following the home buying decision of Kathy she's looking for the perfect luxury home for her and her husband the first house was a classic 8 bedroom masterpiece in the wealthy Windsor Square neighborhood of Los Angeles is beautiful couldn't ask for anything more about yard but in the end the house didn't quite check all the boxes the next house is a spacious 5 bedroom Canyon estate in the exclusive 902 oh no area code could this be the one okay we're at house number 2 nice the house we're seeing right now is very different from the first one it's much smaller but it still has a bit of an old-world charm to it so we're gonna go take a look at this house and see what you think all right I'm excited let's go so this home has over 5,200 square feet of living space and as you see it's got a sunken living room and it's off the formal dining room well the entryway was not as grand as before but I do love the Juliet balcony yeah that's something you don't see very often that's true you notice that and we'll see some really beautiful bay windows upstairs oh great which I think you'll like so let's see the dining room the Juliet balcony I mean who has one of those nice unlike the arches but I'm concerned a little bit about the size it's not as large as I was hoping for I don't know if I can get my whole family around a table in here okay well let's see if the family room with the kitchen works for you the rooms downstairs just really aren't as large as I was hoping for you still have the nice island that overlooks the outside which you love you want it to see the outside it's very nice and bright and roomy okay I do like it okay good I love hearing that then you have a breakfast nook and you have a formal family room there which is nice off of the kitchen and the breakfast area Cathy here's your balcony Oh [Laughter] you can see below say hello to your guests so this leads into the master bedroom fairly large master what do you think of the size Oh beautiful size okay we have a Spanish feel to it love it the recessed lighting yep and you've got the vaulted ceiling here again with the lights lighting it up from above which is really pretty the master suite was really nice then we go into the master bathroom oh it's beautiful large I feel like it's a spa it does feel like a spa so this is his again right he gets the smaller and you get the bigger love it so this is hers and you get the bath oh that's fine in the shower what is this I see here oh yes go inside surprise oh my gosh after a long day you can go into your sauna my husband wouldn't leave but this is not his side that's his side but now you could share it and this is really nice because you want to think that house would have this here exactly but they really did a nice job of including it so it feels more like a spot you've got your sauna you've got your bath here it's not as live in the areas the first house that's true it's not so I have to get past that but let's see what happens I have to offer let's get past this and see outside and see if it's light enough for you there kind of compare okay okay let's go see outside Kathy how about these Gardens you know they reminded me of the Getty Museum I know that were close but it kind of has that feel yes and then you've got really nice gardens above which is your lot here and then you have the pool which is so beautiful and quiet very romantic sort of corner and you still have your outdoor kitchen area it's very private back here what do you think the asking price is here I definitely think we'd be paying for the zip code here it is nine oh two one oh yeah maybe five they're asking for million one hundred eighty nine thousand for you I think it's a little small for your life it might be a little bit small okay I know you like the area so I do have one more house picked out for you in 902 I know I'm excited see house number three I'm excited for that yes it might be the perfect house there's only one more house left to see on this la house hunt could this secluded 4-bedroom abode in Beverly Hills be a deal closer stay tuned [Music] welcome back we've seen two amazing homes so far in this la house hunt with our luxury home buyer Cathy beautiful the first house was a classic eight bedroom estate in the historic Windsor Square neighborhood a pool is ginormous couldn't ask for anything more in a backyard the second home was a five-bedroom Canyon abode in the highly coveted nine oh two one oh area code that boasted a great outdoor living space I was hoping for a little bit more of a front entryway in the end neither home quite made the cut it might be a little bit small well this last home in Beverly Hills seal a deal okay we're at house number 3 look at the grounds beautiful look of a lemon tree I love it isn't it so this property is very private as you see it's got this grand gated exit gated entry and you have almost an acre and a quarter of land here to just roam around okay so we're gonna go see the inside of the house and see what you think I'm excited it's beautiful wonderful [Music] so welcome to this beautiful classic home very cozy you've got this sitting area formal sitting area the living room here with the fireplace you want to step in and take a look okay so this feels very warm and lived in and beautiful can you guess who used to own this house big celebrity Oh years ago I'm curious who Paul Newman oh my god yes so years ago they used to live here with his wife so there's that authenticity you see and the elements that are in the house that are still here but it has been updated so this is a beautiful living room area and through the hallway it leads you to your kitchen which I know you want to see right so let's go see the kitchen you've got the serving area here and then you have a formal dining area on this side which leads you into your kitchen it's a little bit smaller than the previous ones we saw but it is ample enough for you to still have family sitting around and cooking and then you also have your range and high-end appliances here it's separated therefore prep I love it a little bit okay I do like it so I think you're right but I think that we can combat that by maybe painting in here what do you think sheep yeah then you have the light coming in from the outdoor patio and the front patio which is nice I don't know if you noticed that when we were walking it you can have your coffee there I could and see the front of your property or you can go down outside which is the back of the property which has far more to see than you would think that you would have here so I'm really really excited to show you that but let's go up to the master and then I'll take you outside so here's your master its I would say pretty similar in size to the last one but you do have a bay window - isn't that pretty - right you look into the tree a bookcase really nice tall ceilings definitely and then we have a balcony again taking advantage of the beautiful view of your massive land here on the on this property there's so much land and it's all yours here okay so let's go here love the balcony into our bathroom okay so you saw the closet and the bathroom it splits off so they're separated which is nice what do you think about the size of each they're actually not that small the usable space I was surprised I do like the closet well are you what do you think I love to the closet the bathroom I think needs to be updated a little bit and the other two properties you did have it his and hers which was separated and nice here you just have one smiling cuz you want to go outside oh definitely threw me to the outside we're going outside let's get there and see what we what we can find so does this feel like you're in Los Angeles not a bit no not a bit where do you feel like this could be out in the country someplace it's fantastic so see I love how this feels when you see the back of the house it feels like you're in the Hamptons right no it doesn't feel like you're in LA and the nice thing about this property is it's split-level on the exterior part of it where you had your alfresco dining down there at the bottom then you took a few steps up and you have this beautiful pool an area to lay out it feels like you're in Tuscany and you do get an ocean view of peekaboo from here through the trees you have several moments all over this acre you had a little seating area there which was a quaint area to be with the birds and have coffee you can have a day at the pool here you can dine at the bottom you can maybe even go hike there at the top or you can plant or garden you have plenty of space for that so these views are incredible and the pools yeah Beulah it is what do you think they're asking for this house model and here I have to go with Karen again like sick well you're still on the same five million three hundred fifty thousand for all this which personally I think is an incredible value for the location and the land the land is unbelievable very difficult to find this okay so you're indecisive mode I know you're kind of like waffling but I know you're gonna help her make the decision but I'm not gonna ask you to make your decision right now I'm gonna go away and I'm gonna have you think about what you want to do and which house you decide you want to buy and let me know so I'll give you the time to do that and I will come back okay think hard we've seen all three houses on this LA house hunt and when we come back so have you made up your mind Cathy will make the big decision I think I'm gonna have to fill her house um but stay tuned this is a shocking decision welcome back we've seen all three houses on this LA house hunt the first home was a classic eight bedroom estate in the historic Windsor Square neighborhood the second home was a superlative 5 bedroom Canyon home in Beverly Hills 90210 and the last house was a charming four-bedroom hideaway also in the 902 one-oh neighborhood of Beverly Hills it's time for Cathy to make the big decision what do you think yes it's ginormous I can see for entertaining it has everything anybody would ever want it was bright it was beautiful budget well house number two I think this street was too busy and it wasn't my type the rooms are small the ceilings were low I love me you and the grandchildren oh my gosh they would think they were in heaven but there's work that needs to be done this helps to do you'd love to do your design you would my background you would make the inside your own and it's only three bedrooms do I need more than that not really I think you can make it work but it's your decision so what do you think okay ladies I'm so excited to find out which house are going with so have you made up your mind do we have a decision as much as I hate to give up house number one I think I'm gonna have to go with house number three wow this is a shocking decision I love the privacy here it's gorgeous well you've made a great decision because you can never get this kind of land in this location for this price so those value in terms of the money you're spending you're doing a really good thing I'm gonna graduate this I'm so excited thank you thank you for helping her make the decision and now we're gonna go make an offer okay you ready let's go
