Fremont: New on the Market

4759 Selkirk St. in Fremont is a lot of house to be selling for $740,000! And the area is what I would classify as ‘middle-class’ so it’s a good area for a family. It’s close to 880, by the Dumbarton Bridge on-ramp, and a hop-skip-and-jump to Newpark Mall.

With 6+ bedrooms and 3 baths the kids may never move out when they are grown. But that’s okay because we DO love the ‘little bugger’s’, right? This place could be like the Little House on the Prairie but without the prairie. Priced at only $301 per square foot (not my favorite way to price houses but still interesting) it is a steal. It does say it’s a fixer-upper but the pictures of it leaves me asking what needs fixing. Hope it’s nothing major. In the description it does say “Insulation: Unknown” and that makes me curious. But I plan to drive by it today and check it out and suggest you do the same. Besides, ‘fixer-upper’ always translates to ‘negotiable price’ in my mind.
