On Redfin: 45 daysAmazing value for this 2,700 +/- sq. ft. home. Has never been on the market. Formal entry, elegant living room with formal dining room, large bedroom suites, lovely backyard. Best price in west Atherton. Kitchen opens to spacious family room. Amazing opportunity.
Best price in West Atherton. And some wags thought I made up West Atherton. Nuh uh. A professional Real Estate professional type lady professional said “West Atherton” in the copy above. So let’s have a good look at what makes West Atherton so Special.
See? It’s in Atherton, but West! You can live just like the working class in Redwood City, except your postman reminds you every day that you live in Atherton! And so will your property tax bill.
Best of all, this snout house has never been on the market. That means if you buy it now, it won’t have too many agent cooties. Now that’s a DEAL.

Never been on the market is telling the seller that with 100% certainty that the final selling price will be for more than a double every year, or whatever.

Nothing like paying to live in Atherton’s taint so you can look across the street at the walls and gates that keep you out of the REAL Atherton. You’d have been better off with yesterday’s house. Much cheaper so you can afford to send your kids to private school so they can PRETEND they live in Atherton.

$1.3 million?
Granted, it’s only 2.6 X not a whole lot of money. But that’s still a lot of booze, drugs and hookers.
