THE REAL (ESTATE) STORY
By Larry Underhill

Owner/Broker

MY DARLING DAUGHTER Angie will be wed in Sacramento this afternoon! By 4:10 p.m., she’ll be the Angie half of Angie and Guinness Wieland!
Don’t worry; my capable lieutenant, Greg Adams, has my business well in hand during my short absence. Call him at 479-1442 if you need to take a look at one of the fine listings I’ll mention below.
MANY FOLKS can remember my Angie as a dimpled three-year-old back in 1982 when we first arrived in Lodi. A friend reminded me of my habit of standing Angie on the back of the pew in front of me as we stood to sing at Bethel Open Bible Church. She was just the right height to stand with her Daddy and sing out loud. (Her sister Heather was a grown-up six-year-old in 1982. Son Tom was yet to appear on the scene).
SOMEBODY DEFINED PARENTHOOD this way: "It’s when you make the conscious decision to have your heart walk around outside of your body for the rest of your life." Too true.
IN OTHER NEWS, I have TWO NEW LISTINGS to tell you about! The first one, 1517 Camphor Way in Lodi, is located in desirable Whispering Oaks subdivision, just around the corner from Mimosa Drive. This well-kept Bennett Home is one of the subdivision’s most popular floorplans! 2125 square feet of charm, this home features three bedrooms, two and a half baths, cozy wet bar, fireplaces in BOTH Living Room and Family Room, and Formal Dining Room! Spacious Master Suite with walk-in closet, double sinks, tile counters, separate tub and shower! Laundry room with cabinets! Gazebo-style deck with a nice clean SPA! There’s more. At $474,950, this home is priced to SELL!
FALL AND WINTER are the seasons when Julie and I most enjoy our spa. It’s a great feeling to relax in luxurious warm water as the steam floats up into the crisp air. A good place to talk over the day and to plan for the days ahead. And just think: If you buy the spa at 1517 Camphor Way, you’ll get a beautiful home in the bargain!
THE OTHER NEW LISTING for this week is 2100 Corbin Lane. This great three-bedroom two-bath home is located on a well-established Westside street in the Vinewood school district! These Sellers have outdone themselves in remodeling this home (Just being completed as I write this!). New custom tile counters and new double sink in Kitchen! New dishwasher, disposal and oven! New wide blinds throughout the home! New ceiling fans in all three bedrooms! Recently-installed 30-year composition roof (looks sharp)! Mirrored closet doors! Tile bathroom floors! There’s more to see. Call for a private appointment! I’d recommend a quick call, however. This place is priced right at $374,950. Going, going…
OPEN TODAY from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.: 5201 East Woodbridge Road! Just REDUCED in price to $659,950…which is a bit of a mystery to me. The nicely-treed, beautifully-landscaped one-acre LOT would sell for $350,000 all by itself! Cute three-bedroom two-bath ranch-style home with another half-bath off of the oversized garage! Huge DECK which, coupled with the spacious lawns and inviting home, make this property a great place to entertain! Drop by this afternoon for a look-see. Say Hi to host John Manguso!
ANOTHER PARENTING PROVERB: It may have been Dr. James Dobson of Focus On The Family who said, "Parenthood is a constant process of letting go." Do I sound a little reflective today? I’m entitled as Father of the Bride! Have a great week. See you next Sat!
