Unlike the previous homes (1500+ SF), the following homes are 3-2s with no family rooms. Past experience suggest professional couples (usually without children) prefer these homes. Why? Most use the additional rooms as guest bedroom and office / gym. Schools are less important (other than improving resale value). Finally, professionals are more likely to do improvements (improvements + kids = pain, usually at least). Of the homes I previewed on Tuesday, the best work for professionals:
- 24 CHESTNUT ST, San Carlos – Good floorplan on not through street. Priced at $939,000.
- 3079 GOODWIN AV, Redwood City -Good floorplan, though mostly original condition and detached structure in back (personally, I’d make it an office or remove it). Listed $60,000 less than Chestnut.
- Both 1643 SAINT FRANCIS WY and 1643 SAINT FRANCIS WY work well too.
- 355 KING ST, Redwood City – King is in Mt. Carmel, one of my favorite neighborhoods. The third bedroom is accessed by a steep staircase, so it works well as a guest bedroom. Remodeled and landscaped. One car garage. A good value if purchased near the $799,450 list price.
