The Turkovich Winery on Railroad is having their Grand Opening this weekend. Be sure and stop by and take a sip or two of their delicious wines and cheeses. They are featured on the front page of the Winters Express, www.wintersexpress.com, if you want to read the article. The Syrah is one of my personal favorites. After some wine tasting there and at Berryessa Gap you can have a “small plate” at the Putah Creek Cafe. They have updated their menu for lent, I plan to try the crab cakes, one of my personal favorites. Then on to The Palms and hear Roland White’s All-Star Bluegrass Band, the show starts at 8pm. Have a great weekend, I plan to!
I have a wonderful new listing out in the country. Positas Road is on the West side of town just past Pleasants Valley Road. It is up on a hill and has wonderful views of the foothills. The house has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths with a large two car garage. This home has lots possibilities. Call me today and make an appointment to see it before it is gone.
On Valentine’s Day my husband, John, sister Vicki and hubby Tom and son Jack and girlfriend Morgan all went for a train ride! Jack and I had found a special Valentine’s Day Romantic Train Trip through the Niles Canyon. We all met in Sunol, just south of Pleasanton. The old fashioned train had one club car set up as an old fashioned bar from the 40’s, complete with music. During our two hour ride we sampled wine and cheeses from the Livermore Valley. They did a great job choosing both the wine and cheeses. All the help were volunteers who had worked on restoring the train. It was a very relaxing ride with beautiful scenery. They will have rides every weekend in August. Check them out and take a ride, I recommend it.
I have several nice rentals available for immediate move in. I have everything form a fully refurbished 2/1 duplex to a custom 4/2 home on a humongous lot. Prices start at $1000. Call the office at 530-795-4183 and schedule an appointment with Cheryl, my assistant, or myself.
201 Almeria is a nice, new, bank owned, listing ready for viewing. It is very neat and clean and ready for move in. The home has newer carpet, paint, blinds, kitchen cabinets an droof. It has a really nice, large backyard and is located close to many of the schools in town. This is priced at $184,900. so won’t last long and will probably sell for more that the list price.
There were two new SOLD comparables in Winters in January. The first one is 1030 Kennedy which was a 3/2 around 1250 square feet and it sold for $209,900, cash. The second house that sold was 114 Riverview Ct. That house was a large home on a large lot built in the mid 70’s . It had four bedrooms and a nice loft upstairs. The master was downstairs, always a plus. It sold for $303,000.
When My son, Jack, was at Penn State, he and some friends went to see the ground hog , Punxsutawney Phil, on Feb 2. That doesn’t sound like much until you find out that it is an all night party in the freezing cold, waiting until 6 in the morning or so to see if the ground hog sees his shadow. It is Pennsylvania after all, what chance does the poor thing have of seeing anything but his shadow on Feb 2? I wouldn’t venture out in the that freezing cold weather either. Hope you enjoyed the weather in warmer ( but not much ) in Northern Calif today. Looks like we are in for six more weeks of winter too and we need it. Feb 2, 2010 was the 90th birthday celebration of my mother’s childhood friend, Happy 90th Birthday, Auntie H!
Well just in time for Christmas we had two new nice sales in Winters. The first house is at 313 Village Circle and sold for $300. on Friday, December 18. The second house was a short sale at 717 Main Street and also sold for $300k. It was the former model home and had some nice upgrades. I think both buyers will be very with their new homes in the new year! Happy New Year everyone.
Well, wouldn’t you know it?! Just when everyone gets really busy with their Christmas preparations the banks decide to release a bunch of new REO’s. Yes, there have been 4 new listings in Winters since the beginning of the month. The interesting thing is that they are all on the lower end of the price range. One just hit the market this weekend for around$124k. there are two more around $135 and one just under $150.. These are all something to look at and consider. Wonder what will appear around the first of the new year? Guess we will wait and see.
I got another call from someone who owns property in Winters who needs property management services. Yes, I do provide that service and I am the only realtor who provides this professional service.
