The Shoe House

Mr. and Mrs. Shoe have been looking to buy a house for several months.

They would get on their computers, search for and find the houses they were interested in, plug the address into their Iphone and go out looking...and looking ...and looking.

They took me with them a few times. At times, I am sure they felt discouraged.

They kept looking and finally found a house they both liked. Of course I liked it too.

An offer was made and accepted last night! Can you believe they beat out two other all cash offers...quite a feat I must say.

This is exciting.

Let me share with you the 10 best things about 143 Bonita:

1. It hasn't been touched, meaning, no ugly remodel jobs, original tile, fixtures....

2. It has character and patina...

3. It is spacious inside and out....(PARTY TIME!)

4. It is almost ready to move in....

5. It has had only one owner....

6. It was built in 1948 (nice vintage era where they knew how to build solid houses).....

7. It has a lovely address --nice street name...

8. It is on the peninsula--it's not too far away....

9. It has a partial basement (for storage)....

10. It is on a quiet street..

C-O-N-G-R-A T-S GO OUT TO THE NEW HOMEOWNERS.

The new SHOEHOME! I hope all goes well with you during escrow. It looks wonderful and a great location, right off of 84. I hope the taxes aren't too much of a killer. How nice they can start off with a "raw backyard" with a lot of space it looks like. :P AUNT JUDY
