Dance like Emmitt, Shower with McSteamy
Do you dream of winning the Dancing with the Stars mirror-ball trophy? If so, make sure your next home has its own dance studio like two-time winner and fellow San Franciscan Cheryl Burke and this week’s most-expensive new listing.
This $7 million home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. “The Dunker House” was designed by Birge Clark, a native of Palo Alto who contributed to the design of 450 buildings in the area. Dubbed “Early California” style, this Spanish-influenced property has a 7,721-square-foot, five-bed, five-bath main house and a one-bed, one-bath guest house on a half-acre lot. With your Redfin refund you might be able to buy the property next door … I hear it’s for sale for an undisclosed amount and would add 10,000 square feet to your lot. This would be one of the largest lots in Palo Alto and recent comparable homes on lots of this size are selling for more than $15 million.

If Grey’s Anatomy-style living is more your speed, this week’s least-expensive new listing is a $175,000, 600-square-foot, three-”unit” tenacy-in-common property in Outer Richmond. Built in 1926, the other two units also are for sale for $599,000, $575,000, both 1,500 square feet. I doubt you’ll be sharing your bathroom with Meredith, George and Izzie, but you will get a split bathroom with tub and separate shower. Median list price for condos in Richmond is $622,000.
FYI – No, I don’t work for ABC TV.
