A joy of real estate here in the Bay Area is the fantastic water view homes. Last week of the many homes I visited, two were in the category of magnificent homes.  Totally amazing was 55 Ridge, perched on a road off of the top of Panoramic.

A modern Lorcan O’Herlihy creation, recipient of a 2007 AIA award, 55 Ridge Avenue offers commanding views of the Ocean, Bay and our beautiful Parklands.

This wonderful four bedroom home, priced just a tad under $4M at $3,995,000 and offered by Matthew Pouliot of Pacific Union International, is a sanctuary … Jim Cottle, now again a Frank Howard Allen, was touring with me and didn’t want to leave. After you drool a bit, call me and we put the real in your real estate … and maybe Jim can visit?

Save $1M!!!

The other melt your heart water view home at 276 Beach Road in Belvedere is a four bedroom Victorian from 1900.

This home was purchased last September for $4.6M and tastefully improved at an estimated amount of $500,000 … life changes and it is being offered for $3,990,000 (reduced from $4,350,000 … that’s motivation!). Beautiful listing, Chelsea. Let’s sell it!

While mentioning Belvedere, how about 1 Cliff Road … a stunning contemporary at 276 Beach Road in Belvedere? A seven bedroom home of recent vintage this beauty is offered by Bill Bullock at $28,850,000.

If you’ve got it, spend it. If you’re a more normal person and need to shop, let’s go … there are values available as the market slumbers into summer. Call me, call me, call me, (415) 257-2039!!!
