A former model home in Westlake Village’s North Ranch community has hit the market for $3.28 million, and what do you know — it will accept offers in Bitcoin.
“Cryptocurrency is the wave of the future,” said Erica Fields of Compass, the listing agent. She’s offered her regrets to potential buyers hoping to use this form of payment in years past. “But, here it is,” she said, adding this is her first-ever listing to accept such offers.
According to Compass, the two-story 4,610-square-foot residence dating to 1987 and recently remodeled is the first Bitcoin-friendly listing in the San Fernando Valley and one of few, not only in Los Angeles, but across the country.
The house has five bedrooms and five bathrooms and sits on a half-acre lot with a backyard pool, spa and lounge pavilion.
A detached three-car garage boasts an upstairs guesthouse at just under 1,000 square feet.
The primary house’s light, bright interior includes a breakfast room off the kitchen, which boasts stainless steel appliances, two sinks and a walk-in pantry. There’s also a center island with seating.
Other home highlights include a wet bar in the family room, formal living and dining rooms and double doors to the master suite.
The suite features include a large walk-in closet and spa-like bathroom with a freestanding tub and glass-enclosed shower.
Outdoors, the grounds include multiple seating and lawn areas.
Any accepted Bitcoin offers will need to be 1.5-times the USD exchange rate at the time of the sale to cover cashout taxes owed by the seller, Fields added.
