Does anyone else think that $400K is way too much for a tiny house (1300 sf) in a mediocre school district (Glendale)? This proves that we still have a long way to go to the bottom. This house is worth $200 in any other rational (read non NY, non SF) market in the country. This isn't Brentwood.

The house at 2711 Rustic Lane will always be Grandma's house to me. Her warm welcome of "greetings.. come in" will always be remembered along with fresh baked smells, easter egg hunts, Grandpa raking in the yard.
Marie Louise Easton lived at 2711 Rustic Lane from 1946 until January of 2009. With all the love that she put into that home, I wouldn't be surprised if the new owner were to feel a constant benevolent presence, or even to inexplicably smell fresh cooked breakfast at sunrise.
If a house can have a soul, this one does. And it's a good one.
