Two homes in my neighborhood are for sale and I would like to be the selling agent. These homes were built around 1927 by Derry, Weaver & Derry as part of the Cherry City Tract.
These homes are part of "The Broadmoor Neighborhood Association" who's membership is voluntary, but highly encouraged. At $40 a year, it's very affordable.
We are a very close knit neighborhood. We will be having our 15th annual National Night Out Against Crime block party on August 5th.
First off at 574 Superior is a very nice Tudor home located three houses from Dutton Avenue. This beautiful home has great curb appeal. A large picture window is perfectly framed by dramatic architectural detail on the front gable. The front door to this home features an awsome random brick surround. It is listed for $649,000.00
The garage may appear to be missing. When the home was built it had a rear facing garage. The owners would drive down their driveway and make a u-turn into their two car attached garage. However in the 1970s it was coverted into a family room. If you desire a garage, it wouldn't take too much work to convert it back.
It takes a Realtor, who knows the history of the tract to be able to tell you that little factoid. The home across the street at 565 had the same rear facing attached garage configuration, also converted to a family room. From what I heard a deal fell through because the city would not allow construction of a new detached garage.
Once again a local Realtor would know that the city inspector (shout out to Mike J) lives at the corner of this block. I am sure that he would have some pull with the city to see if a historical zero lot line garage could be grandfathered in. However, in both of these cases, the original garages could be restored by adding a garage door back to the rear wall of these homes.
This home is listed by an agent located from Alameda
The next home just had it's sign show up today. It's a Mission Revival home located on the corner of Dowling and Superior. It's address is 495 Superior Avenue. It has a fantastic rose garden in front. I still have to do some homework on it as the MLS information comes online.
The photos of these houses in black and white are from a photo study I did for my staging company to have a collection of black and white architectural prints to display. The top photo is of the Tudor at 574 Superior Avenue and the bottom picture is of the Mission Revival at 498 Superior Avenue. The entire collection can be seen on my Prudential website: http://www.prurealty.com/Michael.Greenslade/photoGallery.aspx
I think that I want to post this in "The Secret" folder on Activerain. I want it to be known to the universe and eveyone and everything that I would like to sell these homes. I will visualize it as if it's already happend.
Give me a call and I'd be happy to sell you one of these beautiful Derry, Weaverr & Derry homes.....or both!!! 510 334-7800
