I continue to be amazed at how fast homes are coming on the market this year. With January being one of the slower months for real estate, and the slowing of the market in general, I am still seeing, each Monday and Thursday, more and more homes taking an early leap onto the market.
One property that stood out amongst all the rest today was a huge home at 785 Kingston in Oakland near Piedmont Avenue. The home is a grand old place sitting on a wonderful lot with mature trees. The home itself boasts over 3000 square feet, and this does not even include a massive attic space and basement. It also has a well thought in-law that was carved out of the first floor. This home is a fixer, needing a new roof, foundation work and general updating, but it is priced with this in mind, $895,000.
It has great bones, as we agents say, and is well worth the investment to bring it into the 21st century. It is in good enough shape to live in while the work is being done, and you would definitely be living in style.
