Hi folks! My newest listing is coming and it’s a wonderfully original and incredibly clean Eichler in Greenridge. The property is in the process of being prepped for market and we are doing some great upgrades and improvements for the new owner(s) w
Attention foodies! I highly recommend you spend a Monday evening in Hayward - specifically the triangle that separates Mission and Foothill off of Jackson. Off the Grid is going to be occupying the space every Monday from 5:30 to 9:00 this Fall and a

Andria and I spent Easter weekend in Los Angeles seeing family and some really great examples of mid-century modern design and architecture. Even though I was born in the Bay, I grew up in Los Angeles in a cool little neighborhood known as Ladera He
The Greenridge neighborhood definitely has a season when it comes to real estate, and this is the time of the year that we start seeing listings. With that said, it’s my pleasure to announce that 5293 Greenridge Road will be coming on the market on

Hello neighbors, we've got a new kitchen coming in and would like to see if anyone would like to have anything from the original kitchen. We've got slider doors and the original pull out built in table.

Verne Joss and family are sad to let the neighborhood know that Herb Joss passed away last week. Herb spent many years tending the foot of the hill Triangle as his gift to Greenridge and many neighbors remember the kind help he gave to them personal
Refinishing the mahogany walls of an Eichler home may be easier than you think and this is an excellent example of a sweat equity project that pays huge dividends. I’m sure if you do some research you will find a lot of different opinions but this i
There have been a few stories circulating about this recently - here is a good one from Architizer.com.
Our mahognany walls need to be refinshed, does anyone have instructions, or even better, a trustworthy referral for someone that can do this for us?
