House Of A Different Color--In The Avenues Of Menlo Park


"It's white!" I said as I scrubbed the side of the house with warm soap and water. Truth be told, I knew it was white. This house for sale in the Avenues in Menlo Park just needs a new owner that's all. It has vinyl siding which made the scrubbing possible as opposed to to it needing new paint. With vinyl siding you can scrub away and get the same look each time.

We listed the home for sale in the Avenues in Menlo Park about 3 weeks ago. At the time of writing this post--I feature it here at http://www.tricityhome.com. There was a comparable just one block over in November of 09 that sold for 530k. Granted it was a 10 and had one small room added to it, but still our home for sale in the Avenues in Menlo Park is listed at 429k, 100k less. Just think of the possibilities I thought. This home for sale in the Avenues in Menlo Park is an incredible alternative to owning a condo or townhouse in the Stanford vicinity. The home for sale in the Avenues in Menlo Park is a two bed one bath single family home on a half lot of about 2600 sq ft.
  • hardwood floors
  • fireplace
  • backyard
  • front yard
  • 1 car garage
  • over sized water heater
  • new garage door
  • bright kitchen
  • composition roof
We are getting 3 showings a week, but still no offers. I get calls from other agents saying it is priced right and that the area is great. So, that can only mean one thing--it's the condition of the house that is preventing us from selling it.

I visited our 747 16th Avenue home for sale in the Avenues in Menlo Park and got out the ladder, a bucket, scrubber and the hose and got to work. two and a half hours later, I was done. "It's white!" I said jokingly to the owner. We laughed and likened the house to a tree that grows moss only on the north side. Joking aside, it was not that bad, but it did need a good cleaning.

I will be frank, there is no budget to install new vinyl in the kitchen floor or install new windows (all 5 of them). The home for sale in the Avenues in Menlo Park is as cute as a button and about the same size too. If you or someone you know is looking for an incredible alternative to owning a condo or town home in the Stanford vicinity, please let me know ASAP. Here's the listing-- http://MAXEBRDI.fnismls.com/publink/default.aspx?GUID=525ce68f-0361-4e38-a042-85e30b915d65&Report=Yes
