That is pretty awesome, you would have to shell out some cash on furniture though, you can;t just toss some IKEA stuff in there :wink: I'm sure even though it's not in an Eichler neighborhood, it'll incite a bidding war. (In the Bay Area, people actually will bid as much as $100K OVER the asking price on a house, insanity!) I have a friend who bought an Eichler in Marin, and it was in terrible shape, they are both design types, so they knew that wanted to restore it, and start collecting mid century furniture. It's so funny, those house were SO cheap in the 50's. Our block has some Eichler inspired houses, and we've talked to the neighbors who've lived here for 40 + years and they bought them for $6000. they're selling for over $600K now. Crazy! |
