Luke Vibert! I might just hire you to fix up my North Park Mid-Century modern based on your track selection alone.

I’m excited to watch this one unfold. Compared to The Painted Lady, it is more similar to the style of homes in the area I’m looking. I will be watching and learning. Thanks for sharing with us, Tom!

That’s an excellent point Professor. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment and have a Happy New Year! T-minus 7 hrs. 13 min. Woohoo. We just picked up a six pack, that’s as crazy as we get these days: )

Tom – this is going to be a fantastic house and it’s not just young and hip who will lust after this house, us boomers crazy for mid-century modern have a special appreciation for this style and will recognize the value instantly.

@enplaned 1,656. The 2 car garage is pretty nice size at 20′ x 20′ (another 400 sf).

@halbert you are really on it. I’ve been thinking about the pocket doors too. I really don’t like to use them because they never seem to lock good but in a situation like this they would solve some problems for me and be out of the way when they are open. Maybe I can price out a frosted one for the master to match the closet sliders.

re: budget, I’ve been known to go over by 10% pretty consistently, but if I say 66k now then it will turn into 75k: ) I can really stretch the dollars by doing most everything myself. Takes a little longer but no rush, we’re having fun. There are some good comps around 530k. Last summer 4 houses down sold for 700. That was in San Diego’s “mini sellers market” if you remember. Larger lot with no school behind and a small view. That’s probably easily 100k in additional value. We’ll see after we are done what new comps pop up and how we compare to whats on the market before we price it. Happy New Year Halbert and thanks for the ideas and help! ps, I’m likely also going with wall mount bathroom sink faucets: ) Did you see those 1960’s tub valves above the bathroom sinks now? So funny.
