This four-bedroom, two-bathroom Mediterranean at 806 Contra Costa Avenue, priced at $1,195,000, went on the market in November 2009 and then delisted a couple of times. Perhaps a nice-looking remodel, by Oakland design company Scout, was a way to nudge a sale?

Thousand Oaks Remodel Gives it Another Go
A 30% Cut over Two Years on North Berkeley Home
This remodeled Mediterranean at 28 Vallejo Street in north Berkeley has come down in the world, at least in terms of price.
It first appeared on the market in February 2008. When we looked at it in May 2009, it was priced at $2,150,000. We checked in again in October 2009 when it was down to [...]
Rude Reality Check in North Berkeley
The owner (and builder) of this 4/2.5 home at 65 Southampton Avenue in Berkeley must be losing sleep over the price reductions he has had to endure since he listed the newly built home in January.
Its starting price was a more than optimistic $1,980,000. A succession of chops later, and a change of agent, sees [...]
Berkeley Homes Snapped Up
A little birdie tells me there are four offers on 250 The Uplands, the Italianate estate in Berkeley’s Claremont neighborhood (above) that Home Girl has been following since it went on the market in 2008 for $3.6 million. Its current asking price is $2,495,000.

A Trejo Treasure in North Berkeley
This fresh listing at 28 Vallejo Street in north Berkeley gave me pause for two reasons.
First, because it is not truly a new listing having made an appearance in February last year and been on and off the market, with several price changes, since then.
Second, I looked a little more closely because the house is [...]
Three Homes with Mediterranean Mood
If the Mediterranean style is your thing — personally I think it’s better suited to the southern Californian climes, but I do see the appeal — there’s a new crop of high-end listings fresh to the market — all built about 12 years ago.
6461 Ascot Drive in Oakland (above) is a 4/3.5, 3,333 sq ft [...]
Under the Radar: A $4.5m Behemoth
Does anyone know what the story is with 7080 Norfolk Road in the Claremont hills? I just stumbled on this listing which, if it is indeed active, is the most expensive home currently for sale in Berkeley — at a not inconsiderable $4.5 million — contradicting what I said about that being the case for [...]
Berkeley Spanish Villa Lists for $1.8m
Another $1.8 million home has come onto the market in north Berkeley.
There’s quite a crowd of these mega-homes now, what with 1328 Bay View Place (which dropped from $1,750,000 to $1,695,000 and is now pending); 1020 Keeler Avenue (still holding in there at $1.8m after 72 days); and 65 Southampton Avenue (which is now down [...]
Something for the Weekend
Definitely go a schmooze around 6948 Norfork Road up in the Claremont Hills (above). This 4/3.5 home was just declared Home of the Year by Metropolitan Home Magazine. Built two years ago, it was designed by its charming owner, Karman Ng, who certainly has an eye for nice things (although note many of them were [...]
