If you look hard enough there are still some new listings popping up despite the fact that we are in the countdown to the holidays and the temperature has dropped into the low 40s on mornings like today.
I like the look of 1142 Woodside (above) in the north Berkeley hills which has been on Redfin for one day. It’s a 3/2 contemporary described as having been “designed for light”. It has vaulted exposed beam ceilings and doors opening onto patios and decks. Price: $749,000.
Meanwhile, if the holidays fill you with dread and you want a project to take your mind off it all, you might consider 529 63rd Street in Oakland near Telegraph Avenue (above) — a 4/1 craftsman bungalow “in need of TLC” with stained glass and leaded glass built-ins. Price: $499,000. It’s worth noting that a smaller ( 3/1) bungalow at 328 63rd Street sold in May of this year for $870,000.
