Holly and Sereno founder Chris Trapani in front of the new Willow Glen Town Square, opening this spring.

I just joined Sereno Group (here is a picture with me and Sereno founder Chris Trapani). Sereno focuses on hiring experienced agents and is extremely polished yet not corporate. In 2011 the collective 200 agents did $1.2 billion in sales.
Sereno has strong roots in Willow Glen that date back to the early 1900′s. There was Trapani Realty back in the 1950′s at what is now the Comerica Building 1191 Lincoln Ave. By April of this year Sereno will be in the new Village Town Square building where I will be in the thick of what is happening in Willow Glen and be able to CHARM about it!

Exquisite Eichler on Comstock

admin — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 05:52:44 +0000

My favorite new listing on today’s tour is a stunning Eichler-style home at 1766 Comstock Lane. It’s a 1500 square foot 4/2 that’s listed for $878,000. It was remodeled in 2008…they spent over $200,000 renovating the kitchen and baths, including high-end features like granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. Those with a green thumb will appreciate the fact that it’s been beautifully landscaped front and back, with fruit trees and a vegetable bed.

I was watching every agent as they walked into this home. They all had one thing in common: a smile on their face. I swear entering this home is like walking into a spa — the sunlight pouring through a lovely atrium with gardenias sweetening the air and classic Eichler open feel with all the rooms facing the atrium. My favorite feature of the home is the electrical sliding skylight over the atrium, shown here.

The kitchen was opened up and they added stainless washer dryer under the counters in a classic Eichler retro modern feel. Everything felt fresh and clean, I didn’t see anything wrong with it myself, and didn’t hear any other criticism of this awesome home. Nothing negative could be said about it!

Here’s another pictures of the very nice interior. You can learn more and see more pictures at MLS Listings.

Willow Glen Update; April 10, 2010

Here’s my picks of the weeks from this week’s broker tour. As always, if you have any questions or want to see one of these houses just pop me a note or call me at 408-887-3225.

2003 Ellen Ave

This 3/2 is going for $749,000. It’s got original kitchen and baths, but it’s got a good layout with some real nice yard features for somebody who’s into landscaping and plants like I am: a pond in the front and a great greenhouse out back. As with any unusual feature, there was lots of discussion about the pros and cons of the greenhouse. Being my own family’s Chief Horticultural Officer, I loved it. Here’s a quick video so you can judge for yourself!

1823 Harris Ave

At 2,479sf this is a nice big 5/3 with a gorgeous master bath. It’s got a nice layout with all the bedrooms upstairs, and is listed for $989,000. Its elementary school is Bagby, and right around the corner there’s a great association pool. (HOA $600/year)

2425 Fairoak Ct.

Gotta love an Eichler! This 1618sf 4/2 is listed for $777,000, and has staging that REALLY works for the house! Retro modern green couch that pulls from the green outside in the courtyard. Deep red cabinets with silestone counters, and two small under-counter refrigerators made it really unique. The original mahogany walls are well maintained and add warmth to this classic retro yet modern family home with Booksin Schools.
