The House I Saw Today
Every Wednesday we have caravan where we tour properties listed by our fellow realtors. The most popular properties are the ones where lunch is served or some realtors do a drawing to win cash or a gift card. It's a great way to see what's new on the market and to stay current. And it's always fun to visit with one's peers! Today I visited a new listing in the Chambord tract in Oak Park. Oak Park is where I live and it's also my area of specialty so it's super important to me that I check out as many Oak Park homes for sale as I can! The first thing I noticed is that it was right across the street from 920 Deerhill, a house I listed last year. Not really that surprising in our little neck of the woods.
Anyway, the first thing I noticed when I entered the home were the floors. I really liked the warm wide wood plank floors downstairs, even the kitchen. And it has a good sized yard with a pool - always nice here in Ventura County where 90 degree days in the summer are the norm! Interestingly, the owners have converted one of the bays of the 3 car garage into a screening room. Not everybody's cup of tea but for the right movie-buff buyer, probably a plus. A light toffee colored carpet covers the entire upstairs - and I do mean the entire upstairs including all the bathrooms. One of the other realtors looked at the bright side "Cozy! At least your toes won't get cold in the morning!" And it's true, that travertine flooring we all love in our bathrooms is a little harsh on the feet first thing on a winter morning. Then again, how cool and refreshing on a hot summer day! The home has 4 bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths. It is a large house, built in 2002, 3235 sq feet, and is newly listed at $1,144,000. Located at 935 Deerhill, toward the top of the hill, it's a healthy hike but it is walking distance to both Medea Creek Middle School and Oak Park High School (our award winning schools are our BIG draw). I am curious to see how quickly it sells with its great location, gorgeous floors, gourmet kitchen and good price on the plus side vs the odd choice of carpeting all the bathrooms as well as giving up one car space for a somewhat oddly placed screening room!
