Dated or divine? Today's Beverly Hills home, the former residence of the late Janet Leigh and Robert Brandt is the kind of 1970s home that is either in need of a teardown or in need of loving preservation depending on your mindset (certainly the Real Estalker's commenters are of two minds about it). The four-bedroom home was built in 1976 and has brick fireplaces, wood-covered walls and vaulted ceilings. The tones are predominately neutral here and give the home a calm energy. The kitchen could use a major refresh but there's a lot to love here in the simple, angular lines. One nice detail is the bridge over the main living area that connects the upstairs bedroom wings. The gated property includes a tennis court, pool and two-car garage. The couple purchased this home in the Beverly Hills Post Office in 1976 for $357,500. It is listed at $3.395 million.

hang some drywall and paint some of it a dang different color and it'll be fine.

That is a great price, especially for the area. Some new furniture, new painting, some minor renovation and you have a very serene nice home.

Ironically when walking today I was looking at homes for sale, out of curiosity, that are in the flat areas of west hollywood, and they have little to no yards, and they go from around 1 million-3 million but are brand new. So since it will probably sell for 3.5 that's a bargain!
