We had a great broker tour on Wednesday morning when over 86 Realtors visited the house.  That is the number of business cards I counted after everyone left.  I am sure there were those who came through and did not bother to leave their card.  That is fantastic volume considering the intermittent rain and wind.  The feedback was very positive.  “Great price.” “Incredible attention to detail.” “Amazing views out the back yard.”  So far, so good.

My first video tour…

I just did this quick video tour of the house and even though it is a little over 7 minutes it does give you a good idea of some of features that are easy to miss as well as the interior style and quality. Let me know what you think.

The Offer Price Has Been Set

122 Johnson Avenue will be offered at $2,098,000.  That is a very fair price.  It is right about where the dollars per square feet ratio is on average for Los Gatos home sales.  But, it clearly offers above average value.  Look at the amenities and top-of-the-line items this house has to offer.  Add to that the quiet street, walk to town and nearly new construction with over 3,000 square feet of living space and you have a real gem!

Final touches and the purpose of parlors

We are just putting the finishing touches on 122 Johnson before it goes on MLS in a couple of weeks or less.  Look for brand new landscaping in the back yard, fresh paint in certain bedrooms of the house and a parlor that will knock your socks off.  Parlors were built in the more formal Victorian era as room for new guests to a home.   In traditional Victorians parlors had only a false fire place serving no warmth but just ornamental in nature.  The guests were greeted in the parlor and not invited into the ‘warmth’ of the home, e.g. other rooms in the house that actually had heat coming to them, until the homeowner felt comfortable and trusting of the guest.  Like the Victorians of old, 122 Johnson has a parlor, but its owner felt it a bit more civilized by 21st century standards to have the room serviced by central heating and air conditioning.
