609 29th St

Built 1939·Richmond, CA 94804

Sold 4 August 2021 for $575,000 — $26,000 over the $549,000 asking price, 23 days on market. The MLS records the architectural style as MacGregor and the listing copy calls it a "Spacious Split Level MacGregor Home". The subdivision name is a red herring, though: the "Mac" in Nicholl & MacDonald Avenue Civic Center refers to MacDonald Avenue, not the builder.

House notes

Listed by the MLS under the architectural style "MacGregor"
Legal lot 41, block 28 of the Nicholl & MacDonald Avenue Civic Center subdivision — the same tract as 525 28th St, where the "Mac" is MacDonald Avenue, not MacGregor
Original built-in china cabinet still in the breakfast nook, matching the "sunny nook, formal dining & built-ins" of the 2004 listing
Sewer lateral replaced and certified compliant in May 2021, weeks before the house went on the market
Changed hands three times in 1998 — twice in February and again in July, with the February buyer holding it barely five months
Sold above asking in both of its modern sales: $369,000 against $359,900 in 2004, then $575,000 against $549,000 in 2021
The 2021 sale reset the tax base from $460,000 to $575,000 and triggered two supplemental bills totalling $1,483
