Sunday Opens (7/19)
Posted on Sunday, July 19th, 2009 at 4:21am.Much of the real estate world seems to recognize that this is a holiday weekend, of sorts, in MB. It can be tough driving anywhere near town, and impossible to get around downtown – except in flip-flops. But the volleyball's good.
The open-house list below offers just one debut for the week, plus a few others worth a drop-by if you haven't seen them yet.
Click here for the complete list of opens published in the Beach Reporter, or at any time use the link in the right-hand column under "Prop. Search Tools."
As always, click on any highlighted address for more pics & details via Redfin. We ask MBC readers who visit these homes – or any open houses – to also report back in the comments here. Tell us what you see, what you like and what you don't like.
Hill Section
645 9th (6br/6ba, 7750 sq. ft.) is a huge new "green" home that could top the charts among MB listings if only it had some real views.
The entire home is a real achievement, worth anyone's time. Fine details, cool bonuses (that awesome movie theater) and a step-by-step lesson in green materials (with placards scattered around the house) make the trip much more of an experience than your typical open house.
Still priced at $7.95m. Open Sun. 2-4pm.
822 John is a boxy, brick house with plenty of space (5br/4ba, 3725 sq. ft.) that's hogging a semi-prime John corner-lot.
The home has some updates since its 1989 construction. We haven't seen much feedback from readers on this one yet.
After its first cut this week it's at $2.198m.
Open Sun 1-4pm.
Sand Section
228 20th (pictured) is a 10-year-old, maxed-out (5br/5ba, 4150 sq. ft.) midtown walkstreet home with the expected big ocean views.
New homes just a stone's throw from here are fetching high-$4m to $5m or more; after a big cut this week, 228 20th is at $3.2m.
The listing began late last year – this was the first significant adjustment. Open Sun. 3-5pm.
216 7th (4br/5ba, 4800 sq. ft.) may see a little extra traffic with its downtown proximity.
Whether you're coming from or going to the beach this Sunday afternoon, this voluptuous, new, Tuscan-inspired home is worth a look.
Currently priced at $6.295m. Open Sun. 1-4pm.
Tree Section
636 30th (4br/3ba, 3550 sq. ft.) is an early-90s build that has been updated some. The home wields a desert-resort vibe, and boasts a nice mid-block location in a sleepy part of the Trees.
Priced at $500/PSF, it's got another thing going for it – for what you get, it's not far out of line coming off the blocks. But that start price of $1.775m is in a range that will get you newer and nicer homes, depending. One to watch.
Open Sun. 1-4pm.
1312 Ardmore (4br/3ba, 2450 sq. ft.) is one of the closest listings to downtown, begging for a little spillover foot traffic from the pierside events.
It's a mid-1980s build, with a recent remodel. The listing actually boasts of 7 parking spaces – wouldn't that make you popular on a weekend like this?
There's also a sunny little yard out back, a rarity so close to beach & town. Priced at $1.789m. Open Sun. 1-4pm.
