Cameron Park Home Tour Pick

Posted March 10th, 2006 | View Comments

Yesterday I went out on the Realtor® Tour in Cameron Park — sometimes called a “caravan” in other markets.

There were a lot of great homes on tour today. Joani Hewett and Karen Lalonde listed a well priced 2 bedroom condo right down the street from my house. For landscaping on beautiful oak-studded parcels, I also enjoyed Nan Raley’s listing on the fourteenth hole of the Cameron Park Country Club, as well as Bev Parry’s wonderful offering on Paloran Court.

My favorite home of the whole tour, however, was the fabulous mediteranean style home at 3172 Chasen Drive. Though some folks thought the bright colored paint detracted from this home, I thought the color scheme worked well — and in any event paint is such a minor issue that’s easily changed to suit. Outside of that, this home had it all, fabulous pool, a terrific floor plan, beautiful curb appeal, rich and tasteful upgrades. If you’re in this price range in Cameron Park, let’s not miss this one. (The photos really don’t do it justice).

    John, the paint in that Chasen house is gonna run buyers off. It looks like a El Torrito or a gypsy whore house (I’m guessing here). For just south of a million people expect better, and many can’t see past the coffeehouse shabby chic and will simply flee. Pastel colors on the walls (eggshell), and white ceilings (flat).

    Oh, and just ignore my hideous spawn – he’s just hacked off that he day-traded away the inheritence from his gramma in ’01 instead of buying a house.

    Well, you’re right that most Realtors® recommend neutral colors, and we find most buyers prefer them. A few buyers differ.

    In any case, rejecting a house on the basis of paint is like not falling in love with a woman because she’s wearing the wrong dress.

    “In any case, rejecting a house on the basis of paint is like not falling in love with a woman because she’s wearing the wrong dress.”

    Which is exactly what most men do. So, you can either be disappointed in normal human behavior, or you can change your dress!
