Bring your architect, contractor and vision to this mid-century modern home waiting for your personal touch. Spanning more than 5,000 square feet on two levels - 2,000 square feet each on the main level and ground floor and an additional 1,200 square feet in an attached accessory dwelling unit - the possibilities are endless. This home - at the entrance of North Portal Estates, a neighborhood of 200+ homes in the greater Colonial Village community - also boasts an unheard-of one-quarter of an acre. Home has been gutted and is being sold strictly as-is. Check nearby comps of multi-millionaire homes and you quickly realize the value proposition this home provides. Currently configured as a 6 bedroom, 6.5 bath home with formal living room, dining room, sunroom and two-car garage - but new owner can make changes and redesign the space for what best suits their needs. Showings by appointment only. Owner is a licensed real estate agent.
Last checked:
As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
