I love helping my clients buy homes that have had long time owners. Often times, the homes are well maintained and have the vintage details preserved. Last month I helped my clients by a home on a creek that was built in 1950. Downstairs in the laundry room there was a Conlon Ironing Machine with the original booklets. I love this!

This one of the 3 original booklets of instructions for the Conlon Ironing Machine.  Finding these booklets at the house during our final walk-thru before my clients closed escrow on this house, was a trip back in time.

I love this kitchen and could really image drinking coffee in here!

I absolutely adore the kitchen in my new listing in Redwood Heights. (www.3361Victor.com) It is everything that one could want: open space, ample solid surfaced counters, gas range, tons of storage, built-in desk, French doors to the backyard, and did I mention this kitchen is sexy?  Come see it this Sunday.

in the garden


I am in the process of selling www.1962Leimert.com - a livable fixer.  This house has so much potential as it is nearly 2000 square feet and has an 8800 square foot lot – located in the picturesque neighborhood of Oakmore Highlands. To help buyers tap into the potential, I had 4 story boards throughout the house.  Below is the board for the garden.
