Tuesday Tour Show-Stoppers XVI

July 28, 2009

Greetings 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 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.

Tuesday Tour Show-Stoppers VI

April 29, 2009

Greetings and welcome to another edition of Tuesday Tour Show-stoppers.  We saw 34 properties on tour yesterday and have to say there are a lot of overpriced dogs out there!  We were perhaps a little more lenient this week about who made our list because the batch of properties we saw was nothing special.  Well, except for the Mayor’s penthouse at 1101 Green.  This property has some of the most amazing views we’ve ever seen.  And despite the commentary on other blogs all week, it was definitely a tastefully decorated bachelor pad.  Maybe you just have to see it in person… the photos don’t do it justice.

We’ve grouped our Show-stoppers into two categories (which we’ll likely do from now on).  We’ve separated 5-star homes and 4-star homes.  And what about the 3′s, 2′s, 1′s, and zeros?  Well, being that we work in the business we don’t want to bash anyone’s listings publicly.  But we will point out ones we especially enjoyed visiting, ie: the 4′s and 5′s.

Our favorite listing this week was 1101 Green #2001, which is indeed Gavin’s pad.  And we’re not picking it because of the prestige factor.  We actually really enjoyed this home, the layout, and we’re suckers for amazing views.  The top-of-Russian-Hill location is of course primo, and that’s why it’s our fave of the week.  If you follow our pocket listings posts you would’ve known it was going to hit the market way back on 3/11/09.  Here are our picks of the week:

*Keep in mind we are not judging prices.  We are judging what we believe to be nice homes in good locations.  We are also not judging potential.  We see run down homes all the time that could be a good equity-building opportunity for someone, but unfortunately, these types of homes won’t make our Show-stoppers lists.  Click any address for full property details.
