Want to Buy Saratoga White House for $1?
Don”t get excited when you see this Saratoga landmark, which was previously offered for $7.5 million is now “offered” for only $1 . The owner wanted to relist with a range range or “decline to state”, but MLS rules would not allow that, so in an effort to generate offers, Judith Brooks, the Remax listing agent reduced the list price dramatically (with the caveat that the seller will not accept an offer that’s patently frivolous or below market). It will be interesting to see what that market “says”.
The circa 1911 neoclasical home, know as “Woodleigh” was built for Mr. and Mrs. George Wood just five years after the big San Francisco earthquake and it contains steel “I”beams in its thirteen inch thick foundation. Mrs. Wood was one of the donors of the land for the Saratoga Foothill Club. The home was once used as an antique store and is reportedly 7,000+/-sf on a highly visible 3/4 +/-ac site.
