THE REAL (ESTATE) STORY
By Larry Underhill
WHEELER LAKE is on the other side of Wheeler Ridge, just east of Lake Alpine. Wheeler Ridge is just shy of 9,000 feet above sea level. I hiked the seven-mile round trip to Wheeler Lake last week with daughter Heather and son-in-law Joel Swenddal.
WHEW! The kids are both slim 29-year-olds. I’m none of that. The back side of Wheeler Ridge consists of close-to-vertical switchback trails suitable for goats and deer, but not for slightly lardy 56-year-old men. I love to hike the back country, but I’ll enjoy it more when I’m skinnier again! On the upward pull out of the valley, Heather and Joel put the Old Guy in front to set the pace. There’s an old Howlin’ Wolf blues tune called, "I’m Built For Comfort, I’m Not Built For Speed". The song comes to mind when I recall that hike. The view from the top of the ridge made it all worthwhile, however.
ANOTHER HAPPY BEGINNING: Congratulations to respected local builder Greg Jackson on his recently-completed property purchase. Congratulations also to my Mystery Sellers on this successful all-cash quick-escrow transaction. Since I represented both Buyers and Sellers, I guess I could call myself the Mystery Broker…but there’s no mystery about me. I’m not smart enough to be mysterious.
MY LISTING AT 2809 White Oak Way is on the Best Value list! At the new price of $539,950, this 2108-square-foot Entzei-built home is a great opportunity! Motivated Seller desires quick sale. Call me for a private showing!
THE VIEW, CONT’D…The top of Wheeler Ridge was a welcome relief after a long sweaty uphill trudge. Cool wind whipped across the rocky saddle separating the ridge from the famous natural formation known as Sleeping Indian (so named long ago, before the days of political correctness). From our vantage point, we looked down on Alpine Lake in the foreground. Utica and Union Reservoirs glinted deep blue in the distance. The massive Dardanelle Range filled the skyline to the east. If you can drink in a view like this and still say "There’s no God", you’ve been smokin’ your lunch.
HOME OF THE WEEK: Don’t miss the Open House today from 12 to 2 at 5201 East Woodbridge Road! This gorgeous one-acre ranchette is front-page news (Just fold your tabloid closed and look!). Statesman’s own Sherry Dickhoff will host this fine home today. Just reduced to $699,950!
PRE-APPROVED BUYERS! I’m working with a nice couple who are very specific in their search. Kristmont. Willow Glen. Lakewood. One story. Two or more bedrooms. Price to $650,000. Know anybody with a home like this? If you’re considering selling, this may be the time.
AT THE TOP of the ridge, we had to slip and slide our way across a wide snowbank to get to the other side. I watched with amusement as Heather slid down the snowy slope into Joel’s waiting arms. Those two are fun to watch!
SLEEPER: That’s the word for this 3000-square-foot FIVE bedroom THREE full bath THREE car garage home. $579,950 for all this? Only at 2177 Eaton Drive in Lodi. Another home blocks away with the identical floor plan just closed escrow at $605,000! Don’t snooze…..
AT NINE THOUSAND FEET, the temperature was easily 20 degrees cooler than Lodi. I recommend it! Have a great week. Stay cool!
