Conveniently located just three blocks from BART.

The first floor is the multi-function space that can be used as a studio, a workshop, office or a combination of uses. It has its own separate entrance, a full bath, and direct access to the patio and fenced-in garden area in the rear.

Upstairs, is a townhouse style residence. The main floor consists of a great room with soaring ceilings and skylights. The kitchen opens to the great room.

Nice property. Best wishes for a successful transaction. Purchase some art from the young artists that will someday be famous.

Blooming for home buyers this summer.

Roy, thanks for the compliment. The artist is Stephen Hopkins, not-so-young but still very young-at-heart. You can see some of his work at http://www.stephenhopkins.net/pages/watercolors/watercolors.html

Great place, Pacita.

I would love it. I don't know your market, but it sounds like a reasonable price for such nice digs.

Pacita, Just wanted to compliment you on a nice well-designed flyer/blog entry. Looks great!

Jim --- This is a great value for this property. At the height of the market in 2006, this was valued at $570K

Sally and David --- the packing is tough on this artist. He has so many art work and supplies. He and his daughter are hauling things to storage. Can't be any fun for someone who hasn't moved in 20 years!

Jeff and Heather --- thanks for dropping in.

Connie --- wishing US ALL good weather beyond this storm.

Bill -- thanks for the compliment

Greg --- VFlyer does a great job and offers a lot of choices. Have you tried it?

You have really put forth a great marketing blog post on this property. I feel like I was right there looking at it.

Love the spacious open feel of the property and you have captured that in your photos.

Aug 23, 2010 12:52 PM

Donald --- Vflyer gives us a good opportunity to highlight our listings, don't they?

Lori -- Thanks. I do enjoy a regular sale., Enjoy it even more when I double-end the deal which is what happened here.

Judi --- what a lovely note. I took the pictures with my 6 year old Panasonic Lumix. I think you just save me some $$ because I was thinking of getting a new camera. But if these pictures "speak" to you, then maybe I can wait a little bit longer to change
