I’m glad he got the handrail up and I’m sure he knows the interest and drives of folks were beyond your or anyone’s control. I’m dilute the putty will be handled and am glad for safety’s sake the railing was up.
I look forward to reading that you’re being flooded with great offers! It sounds like you have some serious viewers, especially the folks that came with their agent and returned with their kids!
I think one family was discussing how to fence off the entire front because they had a dog. Or maybe kids and a dog.
I looked at the listing photos. Wow. I would be putting in an all cash offer if I could. Fantastic! Even the mesh kitchen uppers that we all worried about look like a million dollars.
I cannot remember who found the blue vintage style tile, but a big Thank You.
It is a huge hit. One agent came up to me and asked if it was hand painted? Refrained from saying “No, got it on order from Home Depot” 
Many many comments about the tile choices
I just went back and read this whole thread! What fun. Boy did we have discussions about the dumb waiter.
CB! At one point, you were going to build a theee car garage!.that went poof at some point.
A bunch of us suggested the second floor addition…and what it might include.
And lots and lots of ideas about the floors, stains, tiles, colors, etc.
But in the end, YOU made the decisions…and the end result is a fabulous house.
I know you need to sell this one first…and you and your crew deserve a bit of time off.
But…do you have any feelers out for a new project?
I have that offer for property over in the Loma Portal area but I haven’t even had a chance to go look at it yet. I cannot even make an offer on a property until I have some cash in hand. It doesn’t even do any good to look at anything until I can make a strong, solid, honest offer.
I just loaded some photos taken this morning when we were getting ready and Marilyn took some photos during the Open House.
Hanging my head, because I thought the patterned tile looked cheap.
cb, you rock!
May your best-case scenarios be exceeded, big-time, as the days and offers unfold.
After all the agony about the dumbwaiter it is a huge hit also. However, it got broken when we were installing the Soapstone on top deck. It will go up but we cannot get it to travel back down. We have spent hours trouble shooting and we cannot get it fixed. So, I have no choice but to call the manufacturer and pay for an expensive technician to come out and fix it
Drat! I was going to come down to have a look-see myself! Got to shopping and completely forgot… 
Hopefully you won’t need to have another open house but, if so, I’ll be there!
@sdgal2 Same here! I’m up in LA and was thinking of driving down as my S lives in San Diego was having a small holiday gathering today so I would have been able to stop by the open house on my way to his place. Unfortunately, another commitment prevented that. Next time!
It’s stunning @coralbrook - I hope the offers start rolling in quickly
Any time that anyone wants to come see the house (and I personally think it is even more interesting than the photos, but that might be silly owner pride) just drop on by because someone is always here 8am to 4pm for another week or so.
Wish I could, wish I were in the market.
We started looking when my folks moved near you, but market got far too hot.
Thank you for sharing your journey.
Hoping for the best for this gorgeous property and your next one!
Just got a long text from my agent. We have two seriously interested parties who are meeting with their bankers tomorrow
Yay!! Only takes two buyers to incite a bidding war!
Our neighbors told all interested folks at the open house that all bids would be opened on x date at y time. The parties scrambled to get their bids together and in by the deadline. The all cash, no contingency offer was accepted, tho it was slightly lower than another one.
Fingers crossed!!!
Yes! Forget about “a buyer.” Two buyers with escalating clauses…now we’re talking! You go, cb!
So exciting about the two parties, CB! Fingers crossed that this is the start of a bidding war!
Fingers crossed that one of these buyers is the one!
