Tuesday Tour Show-Stoppers XVI
July 28, 2009Greetings and welcome to another edition of Tuesday Tour Show-Stoppers! It was a light week out there for new, striking listings. But that’s par for the course during July and August. There will be a rush of new inventory in early September, but that’s still a few weeks out. In any case, we were able to tour 17 homes today and came back with a couple of keepers. Before we hand out our 4 and 5 star awards, let’s take a look at the winner of “View of the Week”.
733 Sanchez wins view of the week
733 Sanchez narrowly beat out 195 Beacon for View of the Week. Priced at $1,450,000, it seemed like quite a good deal for the location, size of yard, view, open layout, curb appeal, and its 3BR/3BA floorplan. A luxe master suite upstairs and 3 sunny decks complete the package. We’ll have our eyes on this one.
Time to hand out some stars, and keep in mind we are not judging prices. We are simply highlighting what we believe to be quality real estate in quality locations. 4-stars = Great and 5-stars = Superb. Click the bold address on any property for more details.

That’s it for this week. Thanks for tuning in. Click HERE for Show-Stopper of week’s past.
I think the Union St place is going to interesting to watch. I’d peg it at closer to $3.8. Congrat’s on the Downey listing. I saw it come on the market and really thought it was done well. Good luck.
Yes, Union is a great house. Loved the kit/din/den area, and the back yard. The master upstairs was sweet too, but not as private as many would like. It will be interesting to follow.
Downey is also a magnificent home. Payton Stiewe, a friend and colleague at Sotheby’s, has listed the home. I have the honor of the open house this weekend, so thanks for the congrats but I can’t take credit on the listing. It’s a 1902 home that’s been completely gutted and remodeled with all green materials.
Hey, maybe you find a buyer while on the open! It should sell quick, I think. And I’m fairly pessimistic overall.
I noticed that the Union St place was sold by Sotheby’s in 07 for quite a bit more, and for over asking. Seems they should have went with the same agent to sell it this time to instead of going with TRI ;) I think it was priced right in 07 and should have an appropriate market adjustment this time, despite the renovations.
the 733 sanchez one is quite nice… I wonder what kept it from getting superb. was the price too high? or the floorplan not that great?
Good question… for me it came down to the kitchen. A little on the small side and could use a remodel (although perfectly fine and livable now). Would be nice to have a larger dining area too. Otherwise, great home, and I thought the price was quite good!
