John Hudson Thomas created an architectural heritage inthis 1912 home...a one of a kind masterpiece! 1012Ashmount Avenue, one of Thomasï¿! signature propertieswas designed and created with an appreciation for subtlesophistication, warmth and comfortable architectural style.Spaces flow together through wide openings subtlydifferentiated by ceiling treatments and other uniquedetails. Also recurring in the house is Thomasï¿! commonmotif of four squares forming a larger square. His workbefore 1915 exemplifies what has become known as theï¿!First Bay Tradition,ï¿! where clashes in scale andunorthodox juxtapositions of details from a wide range ofhistorical styles were explored with great vigor. Thisshowcase home is perfectly sited on a prominent CrockerHighlands lot to take full advantage of the sweepingDowntown Oakland and San Francisco views. 6BR/4.5BAapproximately 6350 square feet that includes an 1,100ï¿!square foot au pair/in law on a 16,500ï¿! square foot lot.This is an incredible opportunity to own a piece of historywhile reliving the Arts and Crafts period.

We’re on top of all the ways that today’s buyer searches for homes

High Visibility Street & Open House Signs

Street/Open Sign15%

We laser-print Open House sign information - buyers see your home’s photo, neighborhood info and web site.

Superb Photography - Bringing It All Together

Dark & Poorly Lit

Beautifully lit photos show your home at its best

Our marketing looks great because all our listings are professionally photographed

Benefits Of Proper PricingHigher Sales Prices From Earlier Offers - Offers made when your home’s listing is new are generally the highest offers. Buyer interest tends to falls off the longer your home is on the market.

Pricing Uncertainty In Your Favor - Buyers tend to compete for new listings. When homes linger on the market, pricing uncertainty shifts in favor of the buyers, who then make relatively “lowball” offers with more conditions.
