There’s hardly an explanation for this phenomenon.
Location? Across the street from River Crest Country Club golf course. Price? About $1 million below the median price in the area. While summer is not the ideal time to put a house on the market, it’s difficult to fathom how this near-perfect property has been on the market for 75 days.
Could our recent market slowdown be to blame for this listing’s greater-than-average days on market?
I was also surprised to see that this house was built in 1927. In impeccable condition, its style is truly timeless.
Everything about this property exudes an ambiance of elegant understatement. Working shutters fit neatly into the incised reveal. Stucco walls and a red clay tile roof are the elements of the Mediterranean idiom.
Recently Renovated
Enter to be surprised by modern styling stripped to essentials, allowing the beautiful proportions of the rooms to shine. Floors appear to be replacements with the natural white oak running in directions that add definition to rooms. The walls are bright white, museum smooth, and showcase art.
The residence is also of manageable size: the three-bedroom, two-and-one-half-bath house clocks in at a modest 2,615 square feet. The large living room with a gas log fireplace runs from front to back.
California Vibes
The kitchen has been beautifully redesigned with top-of-the-line professional chef-grade appliances including a massive 60-inch, six-burner range with a grill/griddle. The cabinets are painted a refreshing green with fashionable brass pulls. The floors are hardwood laid in a herringbone pattern. The black metal windows in the breakfast nook overlooking the back garden give the room a California vibe.
The spacious primary suite includes a large bedroom with a sitting area, illuminated by windows on two sides. The luxurious attached bath features a dramatic quartz slab encasing the soaker tub and covering floors and countertops. There is also a large glassed-in shower stall.
The remaining two bedrooms share a bath with rich lapis blue subway tiles. One of the bedrooms is currently being used as a sitting room.
Outdoor living comprises a sitting area covered by a metal pergola with a hardscape that sinuously extends into the garden. A covered walkway leads to the two-car garage.
