Have you ever wondered what kind of home you can buy for just under $1 million in the San Francisco Bay Area? In the $900,000 – $1,000,000 price range, you tend to get more for your money in Redwood City’s desirable neighborhoods than in most other San Francisco Peninsula cities. Here’s a sampling:
Of the 13* Redwood City residential properties currently for sale between $900,0000 and $1,000,000 on the Multiple Listing Service, 1733 Hull Avenue in the West Selby area, listed by Rick Freeman of Intero Real Estate, comes in just under $1 million at $999,999. Available since the beginning of February this unique property offers a “2 for 1” approach with 2 separate homes on a large, 13,155 lot – an updated 3 bedroom/2 bathroom home with master suite, plus a 2 bedroom/1 bathroom home, and an office behind the garage.
For a more traditional home, one need look no farther than 2470 Edith Avenue, priced in the middle of the range at $949,000 and listed by Howard Clark, Dumas Company since August 2010. With 4 bedrooms and 3 baths, the two-story, 2450 square foot residence on a 6300 square foot lot offers a formal dining room and family room as well as a master suite and is in need of some “TLC”.
At the beginning of the price range, now listed at $900,000 is 31 Foss Drive by Sylviana Montano, Century 21 Landmark Network. This 3 bedroom/3 bathroom home initially arrived on the market at $1,250,000 in March, 2010, and is now a short sale with a much reduced price tag. Located just below Emerald Hills, the two-story, updated 2880 square foot house on a 5850 square foot lot features a formal dining room, family room, den and a master suite.
There are currently 3 sales pending between $900,000 and $1 million. 962 Round Hill Road in Farm Hill, listed by Gary Bulanti of Alain Pinel Realtors and priced at $999,000 was on the market for 94 days. The 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home with 2130 square feet interior space offers an updated kitchen, family room, master suite and laundry room, and the 8260 square foot lot provides a good-sized, private backyard.
3 brand new construction homes in Redwood City – 10, 20 and 30 Kenna Court in the West Selby area are representative of the 15 closed sales in this price range over the past six months. Listed by Greg Terry with Alain Pinel Realtors, all three properties were completed and arrived on the market in November, 2010, and all were listed and sold for $998,000 in 11, 8 and 7 days respectively. The two-story residences boast all the “bells and whistles” with marble, granite and tile hard finishes, stainless steel appliances, master suites and open great rooms. All offer 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms in 2688 to 2566 square feet on 5444 to 5100 square foot lots.
