Foreclosure Sold in North Grover Beach
A client of mine has been looking for the perfect low priced home in North Grover Beach for quite some time. It has been fun watching the least expensive single family home market. Not only have we been looking in North Grover as it is known by the locals, we have also looked at little homes in Arroyo Grande and the Shell Beach community of Pismo Beach. I think we have been looking for almost a year!
Finally we have found a very interesting little house on North 10th St and Mentone in Grover Beach. Built in 1949, this property has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom and is just under 1000 sq ft. It is listed at $281,900.There are hardwood floors and an updated galley style kitchen. It sits on a corner lot and there is a distant ocean view from the living room and the front yard. There is a detached garage that has been converted with a little bathroom in it. Big corner lot too. The house next door is pretty bad, but I think there are ways he can camoflague that.
The thing is, the potential buyer hasn't seen it yet. I found it about an hour after it went on the market. I hopped in my car and ran over to take a look. I think it is just what he wants. We had agreed that we had been searching so long, that I pretty much know what he's looking for and if I found something I think he should grab hold of, we would make the offer. Well, that's exactly what we did. I thought for sure when we submitted the offer on Tuesday evening, we wouldn't hear back from the bank before next Monday. In the meantime, my client is running up here after work (he's a teacher in L.A.) on Friday. But, no, of course the bank was super efficient and we got acceptance today! Awesome. I hope he wants it!
Here are some pictures...look for potential here:
Notice the coved ceiling and the cut away? I think these hardwood floors will clean up nicely. There is a soft spot next to the kitchen sink and the place stinks! I was told by the listing agent that the previous tenants were heavy smokers. Hopefully we'll fix the leak in the plumbing, clean the place up and paint it and well have the beginnings of a sweet little cottage...just what he's wanted for a very long time. Then again, he may not like it. In which case we'll keep on a lookin' . Geeze this is fun!
