I didnt even notice this hitting the market back on July 21, 2015 for $3,850,000 which sold on December 15, 2015 for $4,070,000 or $220K above asking price located at 7314 Variel Ave.
The Tiki themed apartment complex was built in 1962 by Mr. Max Resnick which is a rare example of Tiki architecture in SoCal that are unfortunately slowing disappearing (LA Curbed documented other Tiki structures including one in Granada Hills) The surprising thing is that most of the apartment looks original with the monster tiki face staring at you. I believe there were some minor changes like tiki pillars holding up a canopy on the east side that were possibly damaged from the 1994 Northridge earthquake.
The property measures 25,840 sqft on a total lot size of 29,992 sqft with 27 units with a total of 49 Beds and 28 Baths. The property was last owned by the Score Rio and Dorothy Trust based in Desert Hot Springs but not sure who the buyer was. The listing description is below:
