San Marino – Broker’s Open House – November 19, 2008

irina — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 05:07:28 +0000

Oh what a busy day this was! Thankfully, even with all my appointments, I was able to take a look at two San Marino homes that just went on the market.

The first estate that I visited was located just North of Huntington Drive next to Lacy Park, Valentine Elementary School, Huntington Middle School and San Marino Public Library.

1603 Charlton Road, San Marino – Offered at $2,800,000

A beautiful and spacious Monterey Colonial with 5 bedrooms and 4 baths and close to 4,500 sq. ft. of interior living space. Nice floor plan and beautiful views off of the 2nd floor balcony. With crown moldings, wood floors, double hung paneled windows, a wide wood staricase, this stately home meets all the requirements of a true San Marino estate. The sprawling lawn with brick pathways and a large patio is a perfect setting for grand parties. Priced at $626 per sq. ft.

This home is listed by Keller Williams Realty.

2811 Cumberland Road, San Marino – Oferred at $2,200,000

What I loved about this home is the fact that it had a fully functional guest house. Guest houses are so hard to find in San Marino and this one had a full kitchen, bathroom and comfortable living quarters.

This home definitely had its charm, but was priced a bit high for my taste at a whopping $945 per sq. ft. Buyers that are looking for two homes on a large lot, might find the price tag palatable. Time will tell.

The main houses features 2 bedrooms and 3 baths, a beautifully updated kitchen, formal dining room and a library/den.

The lot is huge – 24,282 sq. ft. per real estate agent’s brochure. This San Marino estate is close to the San Marino High School and shopping.

This home is listed by Coldwell Banker.

San Marino California Broker’s Open House – November 6, 2008

irina — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 05:49:18 +0000

There were three San Marino homes on broker’s open house tour today. Two homes were newly listed – 2245 Ashbourne Drive and 1808 SAint Albans Road and one at 1635 Rubio Drive was a review.

2245 Ashbourne Drive, San Marino

Honestly, I was not very impressed with this home. It felt very confined and the bottom floor was very fragmented. This San Marino home is listed as having 4,101 sq. ft. and has 4 bedrooms and 4 baths.

At $719 per sq. ft., this home is extremely overpriced considering the average price per square foot of sold homes in September was $625/sq. ft. and in October was $575/sq. ft.

Owners state that they updated all the major systems in 2004. The gourmet kitchen is certainly gorgeous, but the overall feeling of the home did not reflect modern or newer updates.

It is a gated home, North of Huntington Drive closer to the South Pasadena border. It’s on a quiet street off of Los Robles.

It was originally built in 1938.

2245 Ashbourne Drive is listed by Coldwell Banker and is offered for sale at $2,950,000.

1808 St. Albans Road, San Marino

This Mediterranean, 2 story home is 4 bedrooms and 3 baths and is listed as having 3,668 sq. ft. The lot size is 12,250 and this home was built in 1925.

This home is situated minutes from Lacy Park and is next to Valentine Elementary School and Huntington Middle School.

There was a lot of natural light, plenty of windows and it was nicely updated. The kitchen was spectacular and the back yard had a nice pool although was a bit on the smaller side.

Listed by Coldwell Banker at $2,2950,000 at $625/sq.ft, this San Marino home is definitely worth a visit if you are looking for a nice family home in the San Marino community.

1635 Rubio Drive, San Marino

What can I say? This home has been on the market for almost 5 months now. It has had 3 price reductions already - originally priced at $1,790,000, reduced to $1,650,000 and is finally now at $1,499,000.

This San Marino home would require major renovating. It qualifies for my dusty deals list, but boy, it needs to be reduced much further to bring in a buyer. At $557/sq. ft., I expect this 4 bedroom, 3 bath home to stay on the market a bit longer.

This was one of the 6 broker’s open house listings in San Marino today.

I really liked this 4 bedroom, 3 bath home in the heart of San Marino. Unfortunately, it just came back on the market, when the potential buyer was unable to qualify for a loan. But, this presents a great opportunity for those who are looking to buy a well maintained home with a beautiful backyard that has a pool and spa.

The colors used throughout add to this home’s charm. You can tell that it was remodelled with a lot of love and attention to detail. Character, period-style (home was built in 1928) bathroom fixtures are just charming.

A home to be seen for those of you looking to buy in San Marino and at this price point. Priced at $659 a square foot, it’s listed a bit high, but is definitely worth a look.
