Hill Section
1100 John (pictured) is a corner lot in the Hill Section, but it's not
that exciting – it backs up onto a new commercial building and is steps to MBB.
It's freshly below $1m (at
$995k, down from $1.259m). Now that's a
little more exciting. Open Sun. 1-4pm.953 9th is easy to miss, but don't. Offers 5br/4ba and 4100 sq. ft., a nice family layout and surprisingly sweet back yard. Offered for
$2.650m, a mil below where it'd be with a better location.
Open Sun. 1-4pm.815 2nd has cut again, now at
$4.275m (
-$520k from start). It's still high by the opinion of MBC readers – only 12% thought it would sell over $4.250m, but it's moving where it needs to go (see
story on pricing poll results).
Open Sun. 2-5pm.Sand Section
In a week when all the MB RE chatter is about a grandiose estate sold for
$11m, Mrs. MBC is suddenly nostalgic for simpler times. (She's a real contrarian.) She's grooving on the tidy, mid-century beach cottage at
3404 Alma (pictured).Not a Cape Cod, not a Mediterranean, just a nice 50s-vintage place with a short walk to the beach.
Caveat: The listing touts a "massive, perfectly private easy care yard," which is actually a nice concrete patio.
"Massive?" Hmm, we suppose it depends on your frame of reference.
At
$1.199m, 3404 Alma is offered for about $10m less than this week's hot property in the Hills.
Open Sun 1-4pm.508 3rd is a nice family home, 20 years new. Main assets are the location and size – 4br/3ba and 3050 sq. ft. Sellers are going for the max – $500k tax-free – as they paid $1.8m in Sept. 2005. Now offered at
$2.299m.
Open Sat. & Sun., 1-4pm.Don't need a house so much as a location? How about the central downtown half-lot at
129 12th? Sellers would like
$2.1m, or thereabouts.
Open Sun. 2-4pm.Tree Section
2305 Pacific (pictured) is a pleasant surprise with 4br/4ba and 2800 sq. ft. Remodels are just a bit dated. Starts at
$1.525m.
Open Sat. & Sun. 1-4pm. 2700 Pacific is posted as open for the first time after almost 2 months. Offers 4br/4ba and 2900 sq. ft. for
$2.099m.
Open Sun. 2-5pm.751 26th offers 5br/5ba, 3500 sq. ft. Purchased new in Apr. 2001 for $1.475m, unloaded for a tidy $2.1m 4 years later. Come 4 years further down the road, it's at
$2.350m.
Open Sat. & Sun. 1-4pm.
Finally, Santa's
633 15th is open again
Sun. 2-4pm.
