Solana New

This just closed today, along a popular stretch of North Rios where sales have been spotty this year – there were no sales all summer.

But once this went pending on September 19th, three others followed, all over $1,500,000:

Nice! on October 27, 2011 at 7:14 pm

You sounded a little nervous, JtR.

You sure you want to put the “evidence” online? 😀

Very nice finishes in the house but I hate walking in the front door of a house and getting an eyeful of the kitchen. I have friends with a similar (but smaller) layout and I just find it jarring.

I really liked the bathrooms though and I’m not a huge fan of vessel sinks in homes unless it’s a seldom used bath.

It turns out that I was there on the first day of the listing – the sign was up but I hadn’t seen it on the MLS yet. I was just driving by.

I think this is an ideal spec house for the area. Do huge rooms with minimal but tasteful upgrades and let location and scarcity do the selling.

It would be cool if you let the cops cuff you and throw you in the back of a cruiser. Your web ratings would skyrocket!! Good stuff. Thanks.

You can bet it’ll be on camera!

@JtR #2, I really did like the whole house except for that kitchen “thang”. But, as you like to say, nothing that money and a quality screen wouldn’t fix.

Nice recovery on the “evidence” front. 😉

I don’t think I’d want to live with the baths for everyday, but they are really original and visually interesting. (Not the black bath, though–that’s just a bad idea.)

The kitchen is so-so (don’t like the loud granite), but this is an interesting house.
