Charming--1610 High Street, Alameda, CA
Some people take their street name seriously, and today's listing at 1610 High Street is certainly priced in a manner befitting its location. Let's look at the specs:
2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 1,274 sqft, MLS(r) #40428088, $725,000 ($569 / sqft)
[...] charming split level house in the east end of Alameda. Light and airy, with french doors and paned windows. Beautiful moldings and wood work mantel fireplace. [...]
Sure, it's pretty and charming and what have you, and in a good location (except for the commute traffic up and down High Street twice a day), but for $725,000 I expect more than 2 bedrooms, one measly bathroom, and just 1,274 sqft. The purchase history suggests the owners should be able to drop their price closer to reason, and they're going to have to.
Update 9/5/09: One of the MLS(r) photos that I'm not allowed to show here shows a bedroom with two overstuffed beds, presumably for two children who don't really fit into a 2-bedroom house. $725,000? Seriously?
Update 12/6/09: Dropped to $705,000, then to $685,000.
Update 4/11/10: Sold for $610,000.
