Jeff Lewis is Flipping Out in Los Feliz
From the naughty and addictive blog Real Estalker, we learn that that Jeff Lewis, of the Bravo TV reality show “Flipping Out,” has listed his home in the Los Feliz section of Los Angeles. If you haven’t seen the show, Lewis is a real-life L.A. home-flipper who freely admits he has OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder) and drives his beleaguered staff crazy with his demands (such as ordering his assistant to arrange the bottled water in his refrigerator drawer with labels facing up).
The house, at 3427 Ben Lomond Place, Los Angeles, was featured on the show. Lewis purchased the home in June 2006, for $975,000. According to Real Estalker, it was a “T.D.” — total dump. Now, the 1,989-square-foot house is back on the market, listed at $1,525,000, which comes out to $767 per square foot.
Lewis is known for not skimping on the details, and we’re sure the property must show perfectly, thanks to his OCD. So perhaps it’s not surprising that a quick peek at nearby houses on the market reveals that his property is at the high end of price per square foot.
