As home prices soar across the Southland, a newly built box-style home in the West L.A.-Sawtelle area has changed hands for $3.25 million. That's the most paid for a property in the Westside area since December, when a nearby property sold for a record $3.35 million.
Polished concrete floors fill the spacious open floor plan, bringing together a living room, dining area and center-island kitchen. Pocketing doors create an indoor-outdoor vibe, opening to a grassy backyard.
A floating staircase rises to the second floor, which holds the majority of the home's five bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms. There are a total of four terrace balconies on the upper level: two extending from the front, one on the side and the largest extending from the rear.
Records show the home, which hit the market in March, sold for $50,000 less than the original asking price. In March, based on six sales, the median price for single-family homes in the area was $1.25 million, up 5% from a year earlier, according to CoreLogic.
The Times' Mapping Database identifies the area as Sawtelle.

NEW LAWS HAVE been published which will allow people to cut turf in bogs which were previously protected under heritage laws.
Natural Heritage Areas are special areas of conservation, usually designated to protect wildlife habitats in places such as raised bogs.
Under the Wildlife (Amendment) Act, 2000, 75 raised bogs were deemed NHAs and as such turf cutting was due to cease on them.
As well as this, a further 53 Raised Bog Special Areas of Conservation were designated under an EU Habitats Directive, which meant turf couldn’t be cut on them.
However, turf cutters have long protested these designations, with heated demonstrations and negotiations taking place over the past number of years between turf cutters and former Heritage Minister Jimmy Deenihan.
Now, Humphreys has moved to try to draw a line under an issue that dogged the previous government.
The legislation published during the week will de-designate 39 raised bog NHAs and partially de-designate seven raised bog NHAs.
The news laws are implementing the recommendations of a 2014 review of the raised bog NHA network, which was approved by Government.
The review found that Ireland could more effectively conserve threatened raised bog habitats through focused protection and restoration of a reconfigured network.
“I recently announced my intention to bring forward this legislation, which is an important step forward in terms of securing a long term resolution for turf cutters, while also ensuring that Ireland meets its obligations under the Habitats Directive,” said Humphreys.
The reconfiguration of the network will have many environmental benefits and will result in a greater area of protected bog habitat being safeguarded than under the current network.
The counteract the impact of de-designating the NHAs, Humphreys said that 25 bogs in public ownership or where there is reduced turf cutting pressure will be designated as protected habitats.
Humphreys said that this will result in 2,500 fewer actively cut turf plots than there is now.
Independent TD for Roscommon Michael Fitzmaurice – a vocal advocate for turf cutters – welcomed the announcement by Humphries, saying it was a ”step in the right direction” but that more needed to be done.
“The legislation was announced two years by the last government but they never published it,” he told TheJournal.ie.
“Basically we ended up waiting on that legislation to come through.
I got it put into the Programme for Government was that it has to be published in the first 100 days of the new government.
Fitzmaurice said that it solved “only part” of the problem and that other NHAs and Special Areas of Conservation needed to be looked at and re-designated.
“Turf cutters welcome this being published but there are other issues that need to be resolved,” he said.
We are making progress but there is lots more to be done.

Neighbors comfort victim's family, who came from rural Minnesota to get information.
Hometown relatives and big-city neighbors of a 24-year-old Minneapolis woman who died after being struck on her bicycle Wednesday by a hit-and-run driver vowed Friday night to bring the power of a neighborhood to the task of solving the crime.
Jessica Hanson, a server at Republic, an Uptown bar, had been on her way to her boyfriend’s house about 10:30 p.m. when she was struck at the intersection. She was taken to Hennepin County Medical Center and was pronounced dead Friday.
Police said the vehicle that hit her had been driving faster than the speed limit with its lights off and ran the stop sign when it hit Hanson and fled. Police have no solid description of the vehicle. Hanson was not wearing her helmet, according to friends and family members.
The family, including her mother, a State Patrol officer, came from Hoffman and Kensington, two west-central Minnesota cities whose combined population is less than 1,000, to talk to police, visit the scene and talk to anyone who might have seen something.
Justin Beckman, center, in white shirt, joined Jessica Hanson’s family and friends at the corner of 28th Street and Pleasant Avenue S. in Minneapolis for a vigil Friday.
Tom Kummrow of Kensington, Hanson’s uncle, said they were stunned by the sympathy, support and determination from neighbors, some of whom had rushed to the accident scene and tried to help before emergency workers arrived. Many came out to the corner to hug Hanson’s family members Friday.
Kummrow said he, family and neighbors are convinced that someone, perhaps someone in the neighborhood, knows they hit Jessica Hanson Wednesday night, but may not know she was killed. Getting the news out in social and traditional media will add pressure, Kummrow said.
“What was he thinking? Why did he take a life? We need to know that, for Jess,” Kummrow said.
The hit-and-run death was the second of this bicycling season in south Minneapolis. On March 30, Elyse Mary Stern, 28, of Minneapolis, was killed at the intersection of E. Lake Street and Cedar Avenue. Juan Ricardo Hernandez-Campoceco, 26, pleaded guilty to felony hit-and-run and fourth-degree driving-while-intoxicated...
Susan Priem, a board member of the Minnesota Bicycle Coalition, said the deaths are surprising, since an increase in the number of bicycles, as has been seen in the Twin Cities, often translates into fewer accidents as awareness between bicyclists and drivers increases.
But she added that she was struck by the fact that the victims in the two hit-and-runs this year were both women, who comprise only about 25 percent of riders.
Jeff Carlson, a neighbor of Hanson’s, told other neighbors gathered Friday night that he was organizing a petition to bring to the City Council and Mayor R.T. Rybak to improve sight lines and make other safety improvements at the intersection where Hanson was killed.
Carlson said drivers as well as pedestrians on Pleasant and Pillsbury Avenue S., which is one block east, often have trouble seeing cross traffic on E. 28th Street, which is one-way eastbound, because parked cars on E. 28th Street block their view. That forces them to edge forward, nearly into traffic, before crossing ...
Neighbors dropped off flowers and candles at the stop sign Friday night, and some bicyclists donated a “ghost bike,” a bike painted white to commemorate a fatal bike accident.
“This space is going to be a reminder” both of Hanson and the need for safety improvements, Carlson said.
On stage during the opening ceremony, from left, is master of ceremonies Joseph Lampert, presenting artwork to Dan DiMaria, Morton Grove village president, at the American Legion 100th Anniversary Celebration on March 16.
The opportunity to celebrate the American Legion’s 100th anniversary brought 130 people to Morton Grove on March 16. The Saturday afternoon event included opening ceremonies, guest speakers, music, complimentary hors d’oeuvres, plus dinner and a social hour.
“We’re still doing the same thing, except on a larger scale with more people involved,” Czaja said.
The Morton Grove American Legion Post 134 has existed for 85 years, with a current post membership of 1,287 paid members, said Kenneth J. Trumbull, the post spokesman.
During the opening ceremony, master of ceremonies Joseph Lampert, of Niles, presented framed artwork to DiMaria.
Among attendees was Corinne Strecker of Glenview, who acknowledged contributions by veterans.

The U.S., seeking its seventh straight trip to soccer's showcase, lost its final-round opener for the first time since 1989 in Costa Rica.
U.S. Clint Dempsey, center, fights for the ball against Honduras' players Victor Bernardez, left, and Roger Espinoza, right, during a 2014 World Cup qualifying soccer game in San Pedro Sula, Honduras.
A young American defense came apart on a hot, tropical afternoon, and the United States opened the final round of World Cup qualifying with a loss for the first time in 24 years.
Jerry Bengtson took advantage of a defensive mix-up to score the go-ahead goal in the 79th minute, and Honduras rallied to beat the United States 2-1 at San Pedro Sula.
"They were a much better team than us today. We did look flat," American goalkeeper Tim Howard said.
Clint Dempsey put the U.S. ahead in the 36th minute with an impressive volley, but the Americans gave up the lead when Juan Carlos Garcia scored with a bicycle kick in the 40th that should make the highlights reels of the best goals of 2013.
Bengtson, who plays for Major League Soccer's New England Revolution, scored the winner when defender Geoff Cameron and Howard both went for a pass by Maynor Figueroa to Oscar Boniek Garcia. That allowed Garcia to tap the ball across to Bengtson for a shot into an open net, and Omar Gonzalez was too late to challenge h...
"It was definitely a dagger. I didn't see that coming," said Gonzalez, who started in place of longtime captain Carlos Bocanegra. "I didn't see the guy on the back post. Maybe I should have looked over my shoulder and saw him quicker."
The game marked a generational change for the U.S. defense, with right back Timmy Chandler (age 22) making his competitive debut and ending his eligibility to play for Germany. Gonzalez (24) and Cameron (27) paired together in central defense for the first time, and Fabian Johnson (25) was at left back.
"Overall, there were too many mistakes done and too many players today just didn't reach their usual potential," U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann said. "They stayed behind their own game and therefore, it's really difficult coming away with a win here if you're not having everybody 100 percent at their limits."
Playing without Landon Donovan, a veteran of three World Cups who is unsure whether to continue his career, the 28th-ranked U.S. was under pressure for much of the match. No. 59 Honduras had the better chances, forcing Howard into several difficult saves.
"Not the way we wanted to start, but look, it's a long road," American midfielder Michael Bradley said. "Nobody on our end expects to go 10-0-0. That's the reality. There's six good teams. There's tough stadiums to play in, there's tough atmospheres."
The U.S., seeking its seventh straight trip to soccer's showcase, lost its final-round opener for the first time since 1989 in Costa Rica. The Americans had been 12-3-3 against Honduras, including 3-0 in qualifiers at San Pedro Sula.
The U.S. overcame that last opening loss to earn a spot in the 1990 World Cup, the Americans' first appearance since 1950.
"Most of these guys are playing in Europe, and you come in here today at it's, like, 90 degrees, the game's at 3 o'clock," said Dempsey, who went the distance Sunday in London for Tottenham. "It's a difficult game because you can't press and run and have the endurance that you would have in other games."
Klinsmann used his three substitutes in the early part of the second half, inserting Maurice Edu, Sacha Kljestan and Zusi for Danny Williams, Eddie Johnson and Jermaine Jones.
"We had problems closing down the passing lanes, also on the outsides throughout the whole first half and also in the second half," Klinsmann said. "I think with Maurice Edu, things kind of calmed down a bit. He cleaned more up. He played simple balls. We kept more possession. That's what we were asking for."
The U.S. went ahead when Jozy Altidore played the ball to Jones, who flicked the ball over the defense. In full stride, Dempsey volleyed the ball with his right foot past goalkeeper Noel Valladares from 8 yards. With his 31st goal in 92 appearances, Dempsey moved past Brian McBride into sole possession of third place o...
But for the fourth straight road qualifier, the U.S. scored first only to give up the lead — on a play strung together by three defenders.
"It's a great goal. Nine times out of 10 it goes up in the stands," Howard said. "From there on, I don't think we played nearly as well as we could have. And I think we got outplayed in a lot of facets of the game."
The general rule in qualifying is to win home games and pick up points on the road. The top three nations in the six-team group represent North and Central America and the Caribbean at next year's tournament in Brazil, and the No. 4 country advances to a playoff for another berth, likely against New Zealand.
Qualifying resumes when the U.S. hosts Costa Rica on March 22 at Commerce City, Colo., then plays four days later at Mexico. The Americans play at Jamaica on June 7.
"You never want to start with zero. but you can't panic. There's nine more games to go," Bradley said. "At this point the three points in the next game are crucial."
Both retailers are enjoying record customer traffic. But which stock should investors bulk up on?
Costco (NASDAQ:COST) and Home Depot (NYSE:HD) stocks are on fire lately -- they've each soundly outperformed the S&P 500's 76% return over the last five years.
Costco's bounce has a lot to do with a six-year streak of customer traffic gains that's stuffing its aisles with shoppers. The warehouse retailer's U.S. membership base has jumped to 42 million from 31 million in 2009. Those subscribers are shopping more frequently and spending more per visit than they ever have.
Meanwhile, a steadily improving housing market has had the same traffic-juicing effect on Home Depot's business (transaction volume is 3.5% through the last two quarters). Investors have at the same time benefited from a massive profitability expansion: Operating margin has more than doubled from the 6% trough it hit i...
Home Depot's operations are chugging along at record levels, but it's what management is doing with those gains that makes this stock such an attractive investment right now. As mentioned above, profitability is at a new high, having leapt from 6% to 13% in the last five years. Return on invested capital, at 25%, is al...
Costco's business doesn't have nearly same level of profitability as Home Depot's. But don't let its tiny 3% operating margin scare you off of this potential investment.
After all, membership subscriptions, not product sales, are Costco's main business. And that business is booming: Total paying cardholders rose by 500,000 last quarter to reach 43.7 million.
Those members now kick in fee revenue that was up 7% year over year to $1.7 billion, or roughly three-quarters of the warehouser's entire operating profit. The best news for investors about that growing subscriber fee pool is that it is so predictable. Thanks to a record-high 91% renewal rate, shareholders can count on...
The biggest risk when buying a high-performing company like Costco or Home Depot is paying too much. Indeed, at over 20 times last year's earnings, both stocks are valued at a significant premium to the market.
Still, on that basis, Home Depot and Costco are cheaper than they've been all year, so now could be a good time to start a position if you've been waiting on the sidelines. Income investors might prefer Home Depot thanks to its hefty 2% dividend yield and fast-growing payout. But if you're after profits you can rely on...
Today: Goldman Sachs joins the choir of firms bullish on Netflix”s growth opportunities as the Los Gatos company reaches another all-time high. Also: Apple”s iPhones is dominating the mobile market, and Adobe faces great criticism after Flash exploit.
Netflix shares soared 3.97 percent, or $27.01, to $707.61, reaching an all-time high of $716.16 during mid-day trading following an upgrade from Goldman Sachs, which increased its target price to $780 from $620 and reiterated the stock”s buy status on huge growth expectations.
By 2020, analyst Heath Terry said that the Los Gatos video on demand service”s total addressable market could more than double to 460 million — with 112 million international subscribers — and with 24 percent global penetration and 65 percent domestic penetration. In the first quarter of 2015, Netflix had 21 million in...
Terry also notes that if Netflix were to raise its contribution margin, currently 22 percent, to something similar to HBO”s, which is 39.6 percent, the stock could be worth as much as $1,360 by 2020.
