Tree Section

 1816 Palm Avenue (5br/4ba, 3745 sqft.) is a late-90s Mediterranean somewhat refashioned along the way with rustic-inflected details, including hickory flooring and wood cabinets, some in a distressed style.

The home is surprisingly large for the lot size, claiming over 3700 sqft., with a familiar floorplan that features a guest bedroom downstairs and lots of open living spaces.

It's the location that stands out. The stretch of Palm from 18th to Marine is among the very best, and most updated and refreshed, blocks in the whole Tree Section. People love it for a reason.

From the official description:

 2704 Laurel Avenue (4br/4ba, 3194 sqft.) is a super custom architectural modern built in 1988.

It's got lots of levels, lots of glass, lots of light and lots of angles to appreciate. Bedrooms are up, down and middle, to keep it interesting.

The home might be familiar, as it was on the market about 4 months in 2022-23, closing in February last year for $3.045M, about $250K below the original asking.

Many people had ideas for how to update the house with a modern flair, but its current condition looks to be essentially the same as when it was sold last year. They're asking $650K more now.

From the official description:
