One home is possibly by famed architect W.R. Yelland.     1143 Keith Avenue listed by Norah Brower of Pacific Union.

I have studied his works for years and I would concur that this is his design style.  I am fortunate enough to have grown up in a home that was also possibly designed by W.R. Yelland.  When seeing the interior shots of Keith Ave and it's barrel vaulted living room ceiling it brings me instantly into the Yelland aesthetic.   The archway landing with an arched opening to the living room is reminiscent of his Mildred Cook home in San Leandro and possibly the Rindge Residence in Malibu.

The above photo is of our similar barrel vaulted living room ceiling in San Leandro.

The second home located at 2810 Webster Street and is designed by Walter W Dixon.  This home is perfect for entertaining and will make all your friends super jealous. This home is full of period details.  Time-travelling steampunk enthusiasts will love all the period details that are still intact in this beauty.  2810 Webster is listed by Bebe McRea of Grubb Co.

20111026 Sorry I haven't blogged as much

Hello all again.

I've been twittering @mdgreenslade, follow me.  I am trying to get my web-presence up a notch.  I have also been dealing with some issues on my mansion back in Indiana.  I have also been dealing with mother's successful surgery for her colon cancer.

If you're on twitter, follow me, I think that I am doing to be able two tweet these postings.  I am covering a real estate course #RE101 and highlighting neighborhoods with #NeighborhoodSpotLight.

On the issue of my house, as you may remember I've had a contractor installing a standing seam metal roof on the mansion, garage and storage building.  The contractor left the job 1/3 of the way through. My house was tarped once and then never maintained.  Ceilings and walls in just about every room in the house have been damaged.

The metal roof has to be trashed and now I am having a second new roof installed which will be an asphalt shingle (Certainteed Landmark Series Slate).

Now to some good news, the doctors at Kaiser Permanente were able to get all of mom's colon cancer.  She is now cancer free for the first time since 2005, that's six years with cancer.  She will be having radiation therapy to make sure that if anything is still there, it will not grow again.  I am so happy for her..

Now, I need to ramp up my Real Estate career.  If you know anyone looking to buy or sell real estate in the San Francisco East Bay area.  I would appreciate it if you would send them to me. 510 334-7800

20111007 Some recent updates

Some recent updates.  I have added a profile to HGTV's Frontdoor.com covering real estate in the San Francisco Bay Area.   Click the link to see.

I visited my property out in French Lick Indiana and checked out the roofing job that was supposed to have been going on.   Notice the way I phrased that.  The contractor, Mark Kimmel, walked hasn't worked on the house in months.  Rain has seeped into the interior and my tenants have been dealing with moving buckets around to catch the drips.   Ceilings have been falling down and the plaster on the dining room is, well, melting over the door to the veranda. I have already posted a Yelp.com review for the contractor.   2/3rds of my metal roof never showed up to the property and I am going to end-up getting the sheriff involved in what appears to be the theft of thousands of dollars of metal.
