Sold 28 August 2026 for $615,000 — $16,000 over the $599,000 asking price, 52 days after listing and 14 days after going pending. Red Oak Realty had both sides of the deal: Cecilia Orozco listed it, and Negar Souza and Feri Niroomand represented the buyer. Even over asking, the price landed $56,000 below the $671,000 the house fetched in June 2021. Listed by the MLS under the style 'MacGregor' — the designation is used as an architectural style in Contra Costa listings. Kitchen and bath remodeled; dual-pane windows, indoor laundry, roof replaced 2023. The county records 883 sq ft of living area on a 2,900 sq ft lot, and the MLS description flags a bonus space beyond that figure as buyer-verify.
