It’s about 68 Degrees Right Now in Pebble Beach and I am In Love with a Short Sale: Second Home Nirvana Marked Down More Than $100K

Share News:

And fortunately, I’m a very cheap date. The home I’m in love with is a Blue Light Special marked down by a whopping $101,000. I am not kidding. As you know, many Dallasites are summering up in Pebble right now, cool as cucumbers. I’m talking about designer extraordinaire Trisha Wilson, Realtor extraordinaire Joe Kobell, Ellen Terry, and others. So when I saw this, I thought, why not put my home on the market, pack it up, just move and join the crowd? I could grab a little pied a terre on Turtle Creek to keep my Dallas residency (and zero Texas state income tax) and disappear come June 1. (Bree says she’d really prefer the cooler temps with her Doodle fur.) You’d only want to spend three to four months there a year, since, as my friend Debbie Hug (who has a home in Santa Barbara) tells me, more than six months and you are a California resident and must help Arnold pad up the state budget.  Three in Pebble, nine in Dallas, and life is perfect!

This little delight happens to be a short sale — the bank has agreed to take less than what is owed on the note. I truly hope you are sitting down, maybe pour a wee dram even: custom built home with white water ocean views from nearly every room. Located one block from fabulous 17-mile drive and Spanish Bay, very close to where Concours D’Elegance will be next month — and SecondShelters will be there! See and hear the surf crashing to shore from your master bedroom suite and deck. Professionally landscaped grounds. Four bedrooms, three baths, two stories, over 3000 square feet built in 2005. Pinch me, 2876 Oak Knoll is a dream. Asking $1,748,000.

LOVE the views!

 

Not sure I get that fireplace action...
