Esquisite (2)--311 Bryant Avenue, Alameda, CA

|
The great unwinding of the Bayport complex is continuing apace. Today's "esquisite" McMansion at 311 Bryant, which has been on the market for almost two months already, has the following specs:

4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 3,149 sqft, 3,977-sqft lot, MLS(r) #40421484, $955,000

Come and enjoy luxuary living at its best [...] over 100K in upgrades. Hickory Espresso Hardwood floors, granite Counter in Kit. / Cherry Cabinet with Mahogany finish. [...] Surround sound & much, much more.

The Craigslist post is a tad more lyrical, with the randomly capitalized words that sell houses faster:

This home features classic architectural design with a multitude of upgrades to satisfy the most sophisticated discriminating buyers.

Unfortunately, for this thing to have a shot at competing with the glut of Bayport houses for sale, the price needs to drop significantly more than it has.

Note to Bill and Griselda: it's spelled exquisite with an 'x'.
