Hello BBBB Friends:
With sunshine and perfect spring temps in the forecast, it’s a great day to explore the Heights. This week’s featured homes range from a rare Tudor Revival bungalow to a Heights Blvd classic with shiplap and stained wood accents. There’s even a home that feels straight out of a magazine, packed with high-end finishes. Take a look, then keep scrolling to see the latest updates on homes that are Still on My List—from price changes and new contracts to final sales.
Have a good week and,
Let’s look at houses or talk about selling yours!
