Redwood City: Stafford Park Area
Stafford Park, located at the corner of Hopkins and King streets in Redwood City, is smack dab in the heart of the desirable Mount Carmel neighborhood. Consisting of 1.62 acres, this park has renovated within about the last ten years. It features a variety of play equipment for all ages, sand areas, picnic tables, room to toss a ball or frisbee, and has a cool water feature that keeps kids cool in the summertime. This is a park that my children went to (back in the day), where it was staffed in the summer and activities were offered to residents. It really is a wonderful neighborhood, with well-kept homes of all sizes and varieties of architecture, and there are always people jogging, pushing baby carriages, and walking the dog. Right now there are only 4 homes available for sale within 6 blocks of this park:
153 Lowell, 3/2, 1584 sf, $1,050,000 DOM: 4
Update Mt. Carmel charmer with bonus separate studio unit with full bath and kitchenette. This was originally listed last year for $1,250,000.
94 Grand Street, 3/3, 1840 sf, $1,099,000 DOM: 43
Motivated seller, not so motivated agent. After 43 days, there are no pictures of this house on MLS. Described as “gorgeous,” you’d have to check it out in person to know for sure. Price has been lowered 7.4% since it listed in January.
232 Outer Circle, 4/2.5, 2078 sf, $1,320,000 DOM: 17
The exterior of this home does not begin to hint at what is inside: Spacious rooms, updated kitchen and baths, hardwood floors throughout, crown molding, recessed lighting, and lots of other nice touches. Seems a bit overpriced for the area and size, as well as the fact that the last sale was in January of 2007 for $836,000. I’d be hard pressed to believe that someone sunk almost $500,000 in upgrades on this home.
1600 Brewster, 4/2.5, 3500 sf, $1,495,000 DOM: 38
At the corner of Brewster and Fulton, this is a Tudor-style home that I have long admired. Photos of the inside do not disappoint, as the original architectural details appear to be intact. There is even a library and a sunroom, not your typical amenities in suburban homes.
