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!

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?

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.

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.

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.
