Coming Soon

Coming soon my listing in Sunnyvale, a three bedroom two bathroom single family residence. The property has over 8 different types of fruit trees. The house is so bright with floor to ceiling windows in all rooms. It has an Eichler feel about it. One bedroom has had the carpet taken up and the floor boards are exposed and been varnished. The rest of the house still has carpet and it would be well worth exposing those wood floors as well.

This home is close to 101 and Lawrence Express way. The home has doubled glazed windows and is very quiet inside. The home requires a little work done to it. Definately the carpet needs replacing or hardwood floors exposed. The kitchen was renovated 5 years ago and the tiles and paint work was done more recently. The Bathroom though it states there are two bathrooms on title - it's actually a jack and jill situation. Meaning you can enter the bathroom from 2 ends and both ends have their own washbasin and toilet. There is a bathroom that separates these and as such you can get into the shower from either end. Very groovy!

To learn more please feel free to call me.

what's in what's not

The Real Estate Magazine this month had an article on what is in and what is not as far as homes goes.

It's obvious that everyone loves a granite kitchen but is that in? It is if that's what you can afford - now to be honest any kitchen is in - most women at the end of the day prefer to be able to design their own kitchen. I've always said that women want a "virgin" kitchen. That means no other person has cooked in it and you have not inherited any other persons grease. Am I right?

The obvious trend at the moment is to extend the out doors that you might have and create your own little oasis. Costco has some great furniture at the moment that allows you to make your outdoor area into your new extended living area. It is worth the investment and can enhance your own yard at this very time with summer approaching.

Color is also something that seems to affect the market. For sometime it's been that dirty brown and dirty blue that has been the trend but that is slowly changing and we are seeing a return to oranges and also turquoise.

Mind you I'm always of the belief that there is buyer for every home - it's just all about price.
