Rainy Thursday Tour


It was a strange tour today. After a Monday Tour that was full of new homes on the market in Piedmont, the Thursday Tour was strangely quiet. I wish I had a spiffy theory about it, but I don't.
There was one surprise on tour today, 954 43rd Street in Oakland. This home is located just below Market Street in North Oakland. It is a surprising listing, because it is a gorgeous Craftsman in a neighborhood in which you would not expect to find one. It is full of wonderful details like the original built-ins and wooden pillars, and it sits on a fantastic 5000 square foot lot It is a 2 bedroom home, but all the rooms are generously sized from the formal dining room to the wide hallway. It is a lot of house for $510,000. You just have to decide whether you like the area or not.
