Real Estate Sold: This Week's Heavy Hitters in Residential Real Estate Sales
The least expensive of the top three biggest sales in the past seven days goes to 51 Ord Street in Corona Heights. The 4-bed, 4-bath home recently underwent a complete remodel to bring it up to today's standards, including gutting the kitchen and replacing it with a "sleek granite and maple-finished chef's kitchen with every necessity for the sophisticated California chef." The 4-story home features a master suite that takes up an entire floor, complete with "spa-inspired bathroom" and a "patio retreat." The home was listed in September for $2,249,000 and sold on December 2nd for $1,995,000.
Next up is 11 Cook Street in Jordan Park/Laurel Heights. This 5-bed, 5-bath home is being described as "brand new construction major addition and renovation single family home." We should point out that the remodel/addition is "99% complete and sellers will work w/ the new owner to put the final touches!" The property was listed in August for $2,495,000, and it sold on December 2nd for $2,075,000.
The most expensive sale in the past week (excluding a multi-unit building that we aren't including) goes to 81 5th Avenue in the "North of Lake" neighborhood. This stately 6-bed, 2.5-bath home sits on an extra-wide lot and is a highly desirable area of town. Property highlights include a basement (not very common in San Francisco) and a huge backyard. This property was listed in October for $2,595,000 and it sold on December 2nd for $2,350,000.
