Alec and Kelly had been casually looking for a home for awhile when they called me. Their main goal was to find a great house that also had an ADU for Kelly’s mom. Being hip and young they wanted a home in a great, walkable location. The first home they wanted to see fit the bill, with one notable exception: it was a mess. The actual house had a lot of charm but it needed absolutely EVERYTHING to make it what they wanted to be, including major repairs on the ADU space. I spent my time with Alec and Kelly at the property talking about all of the odds and ends I saw. I pointed out the great features as well as my concerns, like the bulge in the back part of the foundation. I loved the couple’s vision, but this one was a lot of work!
After careful thought, Alec and Kelly moved on. They decided to wait until something a bit more finished came on the market. Several months later, they found it: a gorgeous Victorian with an ADU right in the Kearns neighborhood. They adored Kearns and knew the area well. They also absolutely loved the history and charm of the property- it even had some speakeasy roots during prohibition! This was the home for them. We were able to negotiate a great price, and even some repair concessions in this crazy market. Alec and Kelly got the keys on Saturday and I am so thrilled for them!
