A Home Fit For Jesus

coachasized

By Coach A:

In October of 2007, 601 Dolores St was sold as a commercial listing for 2.1M.  The property sold in just 29 days. The marketing remarks read:601-dolores-street

“This exquisite location is now available to someone with resource & capability to navigate City departments & answer the calling of this property. Not for anyone faint of heart, but someone with fortitude, patience, persistence and true vision. A truly rare opportunity to renovate or develop as the City allows, only comes once in a lifetime.”

Well it appears someone with patience and CASH took advantage of that opportunity and today, 601 Dolores St is back in a big way.

601 Dolores St – 9690sqft on the market for $9.95M. Extensively remodeled from top to bottom. Words do not do it justice – while it’s not currently in the MLS, the property is being marketed “quietly” through Hill-Co.

My favorite new element – Creation of usable tower interior with 360 degree views from arched stained mahogany windows and roof-top deck .

I’m a sucker for a view roof deck and think of all the fun people watching @ Dolores Park!

601 Dolores Street [Hill & Co.]

One can usually count on some kind of positive thoughts from my Aunt Jane, but this video takes the cake. I know that we’re all very busy, and may not have 15 minutes to spare, but you’ll be glad you watched this…

Find Foreclosures, Easily

sanfrancisco-foreclosure

Despite the recently grim economic news, there are some people that have plenty of cash on hand and see the current distressed market as an opportunity to snatch goods at prices that we haven’t seen in years.  Property is one of those goods that has seen significant discounts this year, largely due to the high number of short-sales and bank owned properties.  Roost, “a consumer search engine for places to live and a technology platform for REALTORS®”  with a mission “to make it easier for everyone to find their next home” makes looking for a foreclosed property in San Francisco as easy as pie.  Type in a zip code, then filter by “foreclosures”, done.  Enjoy.
