Shower under the Stars

     

 

Today’s tour had a few surprises that made the morning every interesting! The outdoor shower was a delightful surprise to find in the back yard. Very private and open to the sky. Another home had been on the market only 10 days when it went pending. The transaction fell out of escrow, so it came back on the market. The same day it came back on tour, the house went under contract with a new buyer. What was special about this house was the incredible landscaping, the entertainer’s dream back yard and the guest house/artist’s studio around the back with its separate entrance.   read more

Quite an increase in the number of homes on tour today!

Today’s caravan had quite a few homes on the tour in all sorts of neighborhoods. Many flavors of home styles as well. There were a number of beach properties that are worth a tour in the Pierpont area, a few hillside properties with wonderful views, plus a number of nice bungalows and Spanish style homes tucked into very nice neighborhoods. One of my favorites was this listing in the Hobson Heights neighborhood. It is set up as a duplex but can easily be configured to a single family home. It has been nicely updated with the original details left in tact. Brokered by Keller Williams Realty read more
