About the host
Hosted by Lloyd Kurtz
I have lived in this house since 1998. I am a licensed contractor and enjoys gardening, traveling, photography and telling jokes (sometimes some really good ones!).
Why they chose this property
This property is a 1920's English Tudor style home. Legend has it that the house was built by Mr. Lankershim himself, of whom Lankershim Blvd was named after. Lankershim helped to develop the San Fernando Valley in the 1920's and 30's. The movie Chinatown with Jack Nicholson basically portrays Lankershim's story,
What makes this property unique
What make this such a great neighborhood is the proximity to all of the fabulous shopping and dining that Ventura Blvd is famous for. It is quiet and safe as well as being a fabulous walking area with panoramic views; there is a reason the stars live around here.
