Appealing Belmont home with a functional floor plan, a dining “L”, and lots of natural lighting. There is one bedroom upstairs with a partial attic. The backyard has a handmade wooden dog pen and other structures, very well maintained. (Any changes made to property, permits unknown).

Wait a sec… this house looks familiar…

A pink house with contrast in Belmont

Well look at that. It’s back on the market. With a slight price cut no less.

What does this all mean?

Rarely available one level unit. Updated kitchen with black granite counter tops and white cabinets. Two patios one off the living room with access to green belt and pool and another patio off bedrooms with a hot tub. Unit shows well.

First, let’s be clear that this is an attached single family house. There’s a $367 monthly HOA that needs to be paid.

But ignoring that, doesn’t it look like this is just a giant garage? Now granted, it’s got a nice patterned door, but still… it looks like it’s just a garage for sale. Let’s look at a street view:

Uh… huh. What a strange, strange design. Why didn’t they build something over this garage? I’m definitely not getting this architectural design. But you might! And if you do, this can be yours for just $591 per square foot!

Probate bargain with 200 degree view. Great sweat equity potential here. Top quality home that needs TLC. Kiln dried redwood walls, interior atrium, glass entry built in 1977. Sit in the sunken tub & enjoy views from SF to Palo Alto. Most appliances appear never used. Can be a showpiece. CAUTION, NO DECK OFF REAR SLIDERS, DO NOT OPEN.

Thanks to Burbed reader Jeff for this find!

Jeff called this a “collector’s item”.

Indeed! This can be the showpiece of your 1977 house collection. There are many house collectors in the Bay Area as you can make a solid income giving tours of 1970’s houses. Sure you might first need to add a deck so that your patrons don’t fall to their death, but hey that’s a small investment towards improving this show piece.

I wonder if you could get this designated as a POI on a TomTom or Garmin! That’d be pretty neat. Coyote Point, Pez Museum, Hiller Aviation Museum, and “The 1977 House EXPERIENCE at 1822 Bayview Ave”. Wow… pretty soon San Mateo county will be its own cultural hotbed. That’d be pretty awesome!

And it starts with this amazingly cheap house. Go for it. Or have your trust acquire it so that we can all enjoy this 1977 house.

Just Completed July 2009, Gorgeous Brand New Custom Home Priced to Sell. Top of the line from top to bottom. Nestled in a beautiful Belmont neighborhood.

Thanks to Burbed reader Kevin for this find!

Here’s what he had to say:

I love picture 9…hey kids go play on the lawn on the back/side yard but stay away from the 12 foot drop off by the retaining wall.

Two words: Natural Selection

Let’s face it, the Bay Area continually needs to stay sharp and smart in order to remain competitive. So… sometimes we need to get rid of the less desirable people. People who might be superstars in a different city with lower standards (like Boston), but wouldn’t make the cut here in the Bay Area.

The backyard of this house helps separate the wheat from the chaff, so to speak. Those who survive this house, can go on to become the next major super star, the next person who changes the world with a single 140 character post.

And, did I mention, this house is green? That’s a plus right there!

So help the Bay Area out, you breeders. Buy this house and use it to prune  your brood. It’s for the good of humanity – for Silicon Valley is destined to save it.

Come see this charming 3 Bedroom, 1 Bath home in the beautiful city of Belmont. This home is located on a desirable corner lot on a quiet street with no thru traffic. It has great curb appeal due to the gorgeous, well maintained landscaping throughout the grounds. The neighborhood is conveniently located near shopping, restaurants, train station and major freeways/highways.

Thanks to Burbed reader Herve for this find.

I’m not sure how this got started, but there seems to be this meme that Burbed loves to feature pink houses.

Well, this is definitely a pink house!

But what I truly appreciate is the contrast of some of the interior pics. Let’s take a look:

I love the enormous TV that blocks out all the windows. And I love how it contrasts with the kitchen and its cabinets!

But more importantly, I liked this photo:

Wow. You can totally feel the pride of ownership soaring as your flag waves proudly.

And let’s look at who you’ll be sharing this pride of ownership with!

That’s right! All the industrial complexes near your house. The people there will trudge to work each day, jealous how you’re becoming rich by just sitting in your house earning equity.

Plenty of pride all around!

Priced to Sell Quick! Lovely Custom home tucked away in a private setting on a very large lot. Spend your evenings entertaining on the huge brick covered patio with views of the mountains and valley below. A sunken living room and soaring vaulted ceilings are lit up from the array of custom windows. The living area includes 1 master and 2 standard bedrooms and tons of closet space!

Thanks to Burbed reader Herve for this find. It’s Herve week!

Herve thought iwas amusing that this house said that it was priced to sell quick, but that… well…. it still wasn’t sold!

Frankly, I’m kind of surprised as well… just look at all the trapped equity waiting for you:

What could this owner possibly do to sell this even more quickly? Give it away for free?

Imagine if you will a Carmel setting in Belmont. Meander down a brick path surrounded by lush foliage to the entrance of this unique 1930’s Hunter’s Cottage. Artists are inspired by the indoor/outdoor serenity this property provides. Whether soaking up the sun in one of the many outdoor entertaining areas or enjoying morning coffee while taking in the views of the bay, this home will embrace you.

Thanks to Burbed reader Herve for this find. Hey another example of creative writing!

Wow… this totally reminds me of Carmel. Except without the ocean. And being crammed in with a bunch of other houses. On a (likely) steep road. Where it’s cold. And windy.

Yeah… when you’re living on the East side of Alameda you’re definitely going to need a Hunter’s Cottage like this one. Granted its not on the East side of El Camino – if it were there you might need to go hunting for Impalas and such.

Personally I’ve always wanted a home that embraces you. This is that home.

LG thought the phrase “pristine Belmont loc” to be very poignant.

Let’s take a look shall we:

Sure, that’ll be pristine… for about a day or two. But don’t worry, there’s a large backyard for you to set up that traffic monitoring system that you’ve always wanted. What? Didn’t you always want to be a reporter when you grew up?

Thanks LG!

New from the foundation up. Staged, gorgeous Hi ceilings, sky lights, chefs kit, sub zero, Wolf etc. .Ideal park like setting for bar-b-q, rv, boat playground, dog run etc. .SF views slate walks, drive, and patio area, ready to move in. ..

New from the foundation up. But most importantly, it’s staged. Do you know how few houses are actually staged these days? It’s defnitely a value add and something you’ll always remember.

In fact, it’s so gorgeous that it has been on the market for 389 days. Do you know what happens? Basically people go, visit the house, and amazed at how beautiful the staging is (and the views too) and then leave, realizing that they are not worthy.

Again, this is a great example of a house where you can buy it, and turn it into a tourist attraction, charging for the views. Win win! It’ll help pay the mortgage!

Go ahead and visit, I bet you will find that you can’t buy it either. You’re not worthy.
