Sorry Mr. Walsh, not quite a mansion, but a beautiful executive home. Christmas only comes once and year and it’s here! This home is very well priced at $1,009,900. Very well priced. This home is so well priced that there is room to fully gut it if a buyer were so inclined, but it doesn’t need that. Throughout this home there is beautiful carpet and gorgeous details.

Four bedrooms and three full baths are well laid out over 3060 square feet of living space. There is a formal dining room, living room and a family room, plenty of room for your family to spread out. The privacy the home affords is nearly unmatched in the Bay Area. How about the view from the jacuzzi in the master bath?

Consider the end of a hard day and a nice Cabernet or Chardonnay and that view…and a soak.

This home is has so much potential and is priced so well… it’s so sweet it’ll make your teeth hurt.

Now the bad news. The bank has shut down the pool for safety purposes. The cabinetry needs some either updated, restoring or replacing depending on your taste. The cabinets are structurally in great shape, but the varnish has worn off over the years. When a property is priced like this one, it doesn’t matter, you can afford to make it your own. Comparable listings and sales in this area are well over $100k more than this home.

This incredible opportunity isn’t going to last. Call me today to get a personal tour of this home.

Last night I had dinner at Metro in Lafayette. It’s the second time I’ve been there. The first time they had a duck confit on the menu that was ridiculous. How ridiculous you may ask? When the guy came and asked about dessert we both said “can we have the duck for dessert?” That’s an amazing dish. Last night the duck wasn’t on the menu, but a Croque Monsieur was and so was a Bucatini with sausage. Both dishes were excellent. My friend Harry ordered the spicy fries and we spent a goodly amount of time figuring out the amazing spice concoction.  (We nailed it)  Service was very attentive, just like the last time. This place is a little jewel in a strip mall. The owner is a sommelier so the wine list is interesting and well priced. We had the Tempranillo by the glass and for the first time in a long time I could say that a by the glass wine was both good and well priced. Stop by, they bring a certain sophistication to their house that’s nice to see in Contra Costa County.
