Labor Day is a Good Time to Be Away! The Piedmont Perspective, Vol. 19
What's New?
School is back in session and the Labor Day weekend is quickly descending upon us. If you’re in the market for a new home, this is a great weekend to go AWAY! No kidding – you won’t be missing much. While "Coming Soon" signs are popping up throughout town – most, if not all, of these properties will be hitting AFTER Labor Day. So enjoy the beach, the campground, the lake, wine country, or the community swimming pool here in town and be prepared to dive in come mid-September. Whatever you do, stay away from the Bay Bridge which will be closed the entire weekend!
What's Coming?
The good news for those of you, who have patiently waited out the doldrums of summer, is that several new houses will be hitting the market and range from the mid-eight's on up! If your budget allows you to spend up to $2.6 million, you’re going to have several options coming your way. With choices ranging from traditional to contemporary, from central Piedmont to park settings, fantastic homes are right around the corner. I’ll pick just three that illustrate this range:
Linda McClain’s new listing on Harvard Road is an adorable and inviting 3- bedroom home featuring beautiful formal rooms with period detailing, hardwood floors, large updated kitchen and private rear garden.
Nancy Lerhkind brings to market a stately Craftsman Brown Shingle, featuring 5+ bedrooms and 3 & ½ baths overlooking Dracena Park, complete with family room and charming level garden that I’m personally salivating over. (How quickly could I sell my own home and hopscotch over without my husband noticing?)
And Anian Petit Tunney has listed yet another gracious and formal home, circa 1922, on Muir Avenue – arguably the prettiest street in Piedmont - which has four spacious bedrooms upstairs (two with views of SF) traditional floor plan, and a level back garden as well.
All three of these prolific women continue to represent wonderful homes and opportunities in and around Piedmont. With over 60 years of cumulative experience, it's hard to beat their market knowledge.
Whether you’re looking to buy or sell, your first step really should be the Grubb Company. (Yes, I’m biased, but our track record allows for it.) The list doesn’t stop here so give me a call if you’d like to hear about other new listings cropping up in the next few weeks!
What's Pending?
The starter home on Greenbank Avenue went pending in eight short days making for another quick sale! But with only a handful of summer sales in Piedmont, pent-up buyer demand remains high. If you’re thinking of selling, now might just be the right time to make your move . . . Maybe you're on the fence and need an idea of what your house might garner in today's market? I'm happy to provide a complimentary market analysis of your home.
What's Happening Now?
Dress Best for Less is accepting your donations and open to serve your shopping needs Monday through Friday. Complete your Back- to- School shopping with new-to-you designer clothing from Dress Best for Less, pick up a pair of broken in soccer cleats (they really are better that way) or start hunting for ski wear now. Great clothing and household wares at low prices, and the proceeds benefit Piedmont Public Schools. 3861 Piedmont Ave. 658-8525 Open 10-5 M-F. Drop off your gently-used items at the collection point behind the pool in the center of town.
What's Fun!
Most of us know about the Village Market on Harbord and Broadway Terrace (who could miss the aroma of barbecued tri-tip in the parking lot?) but I’m stymied by the number of long-time residents who have yet to discover The Terrace coffee shop and gift store next door . . . This little gem of ingenuity not only makes the best Mochas and White Chocolate Lattes (yes-wickedly indulgent) in town, they have great seasonal holiday hot chocolates such as White Peppermint for the kids (My son Tristan, loves these.) Moreover, the owner, Helen, has partnered with several local schools to raise funds for public education throughout the Rockridge neighborhood and intends to work with Piedmont's schools this fall. This newly anointed citizen of the U.S. serves as an ambassador and an example to us all to give back a little of our good fortune. You’re going to drink coffee anyway (or pick up a mouth-watering tri-tip!). Why not stop at The Terrace and give it a try? And while you're there, peruse the shop for reasonably priced gifts, linens, cookbooks, jewelry, etc. (husbands, are you listening?) And don't forget to congratulate Helen on her newly acquired citizenship.
See you next week!
For more information about any of the properties or events listed above, please call me at The GRUBB CO.(510) 339-0400 x264. I'd love to share my real estate tips and my experience in the Piedmont community with you! To sign up for The Piedmont Perspective, go to www.thepiedmontperspective.com
