Nice place. $2M clearly goes a lot further here than in Noe.

so this was just a pure investment opportunity that didn't pan out in the slightest, considering the market these days they will be lucky to get 2M

The kitchen and baths are just vanilla and bit boring. And is this staged or just sparse? Feels very we ran out of money...

I think this is a wonderful house. The first six or seven pictures were a bit boring, but once I saw the ketchen, and the pictures after, the house seem very nice. It's very airy, with loads of space, and natural light.

Great home. Too bad nobody buys homes anymore, just "investments". yet another home owned for just a few months before being plopped back on the market.

the bathrooms are vanilla, but they work with the overall style of the house.

What am I seeing along the edge of the ceiling in the living room? Is that water damage?

I saw that too, I think it's painted to look like water damage. It must look different in person.

I saw this place first time it was on the market and it is one of the most beautiful examples of Arts and Crafts architecture I have ever seen. This is a "Berkeley Claremont" home in San Francisco, which is hard to find.

One thing made me nervous though and that is that the seller, who is an architect, decided to hold onto the adjacent lot. The adjacent lot is smallish, about 3000 sq ft, but there is no reason that someone could not build something there, and if they did, it would dramatically change the feel of the house, which is currently set away from its neighbors.

Does anyone know if the adjacent lot is also for sale or not?

Is this the famed "Alameda" architecture? Or perhaps it is called "San Fernando" style.

doubtful this will sell at that price, in that neighborhood, and with the silly half attempt at updating- how soon until first price reduction ?

$1.95M predicted selling price

@spencer: LOL, do you think everything will sell at $1.95M?? ;-)

pychological belief that you are getting a much better deal at 1.95 than at 2M

it doesn't make sense but being above rather than below large round numbers make people feel better.

for instance, people feel much better about negotiating from say 2.05M to 1.95M than they do about going from 2.2M to 2.1M

The interior is a different world, but the outside (in the fisheyed pic above) makes it look straight out of the Pleasanton prefab zone. I agree that anything that isn't nailed down seems to have been sourced from Target.

They decided they didn't like the house?
