409 Kains Ave
Sold for $1,020,000 in June 2022 against a $899,000 ask, after four days on market — the only recorded sale in the county's 1992–2026 assessment series, which otherwise shows an unbroken Prop 13 drift consistent with a single long-term owner. Compass and bridgeMLS both carry the style as 'MacGregor'. Lot size is 2,500 sq ft by county record but 2,482 sq ft on the MLS sheet; interior area is 895 sq ft in both. County assessment years run one ahead of Redfin's tax-history labels, so the $1,061,207 figure Redfin files under 2023 is the assessor's 2024 roll. No heating detail appears in any source, and no source published a zoning code, so both are left unset.

House notes
- Carried by the MLS under the architectural style "MacGregor"
- Held by one owner for at least 30 years — the assessed value drifted up about 2% a year, unbroken, from 1992 until the 2022 sale
- County improvement assessment nearly doubled on the 2000 roll, from $15,640 to $29,417, while land value kept its steady 2% drift — the signature of a permitted addition or major remodel finished around 1999
- Assessed value jumped from $75,410 to $1,020,000 when the 2022 sale reset its Prop 13 basis
- Renovated in 1955, 15 years after it was built
- Custom-built bookcases and a drought-tolerant native front garden
- Sold for $121,000 over asking after 4 days on the market
