Past Post And Property Update: Listing For 270 Castenada Withdrawn
The listing for 270 Castenada was withdrawn from the MLS yesterday. Perhaps it wasn’t only “too beautiful to describe,” but “too beautiful to price” (or with which to part) as well.

On the MLS, it was active contingent for a while, then active, so apparently a deal fell through. Maybe the buyer couldn't get the 3.9 M mortgage with 0 down ;)

I took a look at this place, because I am in love with both Forest Hill and Julia Morgan architecture. I thought it was nice, but overpriced by about $1M.

This house is the work of Bernard Maybeck, though Julia Morgan worked as an intern for him at one time. (just to correct the record)

The entrance and the great room were amazing. The upstairs layout was not as well designed.
I heard speculation that the supersized price was because the large lot could potentially be subdivided.
