Nice home in my city

[Robert A Whit]

Now, this is a decent home in my city. (Home presented is about 23,000 sq feet.)

Believe it or not, I and the developer of this property got tangled up in a lawsuit that I won.

This particular home was built for MC Hammer when he lived here and before he went broke.

Enjoy.

It also has a theater inside and two pools. I wish this showed the home off better.

MC also had a guards gate at the drive way to keep out those he did not want there.

We have many smaller but still luxury homes in the city limits.

This home is close to the hills. That tells me the price may be a million dollars or more.

In any event, it is a mid range priced home. We have many homes between 1 to 2 million dollars and lots more over that too.

This one is vacant and I have not checked up the price. But I found it on youtube.

When my husband and I first got married, we lived in Daly City. It was a small rent home.

When my husband and I first got married, we lived in Daly City. It was a small rent home.

When I was still appraising homes for a living, I appraised one of those homes that had to be modified just to stand the noise of the SF Airport.

The home was modified to deal with the noise by the Airport. It had very heavy lead doors on the exterior. It has some for real double pane windows. It was modified inside the ceiling to cut down noise. I must have the appraisal around here somewhere. But it was pretty small.

We don't have many 'stars' like MC Hammer, but do have some nice homes. I guess everyone here should start posting the nice homes in their area:

Thanks. I shall show more of our homes. Those were great. I appreciate that a lot.

Very lovely homes.

BTW, MC Hammer was arrested today per the local news. Booked for resisting arrest and released in Dublin, CA.

We have some of these built and sold out about a half mile from me. I have not visited these in this video. Notice they explain one of our several lakes. This is the largest. Once in a while as i walk around it, I see some guy fishing. Better fishing though is at our other lakes since they are planted with fish.

These are modest priced houses and virtually no land. We have homes with as much as a few acres of land and many with an acre and also many with a quarter acre. I wish all of these were on YouTube.

For me to video this entire city would consume many days. My city is divided up this way.
Niles The home of the first motion picture studios in CA. Charlie Chaplin filmed here. And a lot of cowboy movies were made up in our hills. Each division of the city has it's own flavor. Niles has Rancho Arroyo for it's expensive homes and they are on quarter acre lots. Homes are as large as about 3,600 sq feet and the setting is lovely enormous trees, many of them Redwoods.

Mission San Jose The Spanish built one of the CA Missions there. The Catholics have a home for Nuns that get old. We have several Catholic churches in town. All religions are represented here. Mission area is believed to have our best schools. I attribute much of that to the fact it also is the area where our Asian population favors. Their kids are known for being serous about education. General Vallejo had land here as well and ruins of his grain mill is preserved. Mission area has some old very modest homes but they are not cheap. And for the most part, the area has homes costing over one million dollars and they are all over the place.

Warm Springs. This area was once pretty reasonable. Today there are many multi million dollar homes all over the hills. Still you have to drive to them to see most of them. I mean up into the hills. On the flat land are many working class tract homes that are priced up to about a million dollars except for some other luxury homes over one million dollars. Warm springs is closest to San Jose.

Irvington This community was once farms. And has some downtown of it's own. One feature of Fremont is each area has schools, parks and lots of shopping. No mater where one lives in this city, they are next to shopping, etc. Irvington area fans out off Fremont Blvd as does Centerville.

Part of Irvington is across the freeway where the auto dealers and COSTCO and a number of other very nice stores are. You can buy a car, stop off at Costco store and go to Claim Jumper for a fine steak, all in walking distance of each other.

Centerville. Centerville is the place where the bulk of the downtown area is. We call the main center, the HUB. You will find the heavy duty stores there. I mention the Automall area of Irvington above but Centerville has the bulk of the city of Fremont buildings and the Library.

Our home is two miles from the beach. That's why we live here.

The Hammer was busted, and of course cries race!


(CNN) -- Rapper MC Hammer launched a string of tweets Saturday with his side of the story two days after he was arrested in northern California for allegedly obstructing an officer.

Among his tweets, Hammer said, apparently referring to the arresting officer, that he was asked whether he was on parole or probation before the man tried to pull him out of his vehicle Thursday night.

Police in Dublin, east of Oakland, said Hammer was in a vehicle with expired registration and he was not the registered owner.

"After asking Hammer who the registered owner was he became very argumentative and refused to answer the officer's questions," police spokesman Herb Walters wrote Saturday evening in an e-mail to CNN.

...

Hammer began his tweets Saturday with "chubby elvis looking dude was tapping on my car window, I rolled down the window and he said 'Are you on parole or probation?'"

"While I was handing him my ID he reached in my car and tried to pull me out the car but forgot he was on a steady donut diet," Hammer continued. "It was comical to me until he pulled out his guns, blew his whistle and yelled for help (MallCop) !!! But make no mistake he's dangerous."

...

In another tweet, Hammer, born Stanley Kirk Burrell, said, "only thing more dangerous than a scared man with a gun, is a scared man with an agenda, a gun and a badge."

"I will now answer his question, contrary to his personal beliefs, all people of color are not on parole or probation fat boy!!!," wrote Hammer, later adding he thought of his arrest as "a teachable moment" and an "eye opener."

Very nice. I did not know that the beach has rocks. Sand off CA that I have seen is brown and grainy. Not as fine as Sand off Florida nor white like theirs is.

My last wife was native of Long Island and tried to explain it to me. I have barely been there and only as far up as where the 1964 World's fair was at. I believe some of that still remains.

Do you have other pictures including inside photos?

Well since you are 400 miles south of me and it takes about 6 hr 30 minutes for me to get there, it would be similar to comparing New York to Florida as to temps, etc.

But for man imported water, your area is desert.

Long Island is unusual in the fact that our North Shore beaches are all Rocky and our South Shore beaches are fine white sand. This was due to the fact that during the last ice age the lead edge of the Laurentian Glacier came south and covered only 1/2 of Long Island.

This caused the North Shore to be Hilly with rocky beaches while the South Shore is perfectly flat with Sandy Beaches.

Basically Long Island is the Garbage Dump for all the Rocks carried by the Glacier during the last Ice Age.

there you have it...

Now that you mention that, yes, I do know of the glacier you mention. And come to think of it, I noticed rock beaches too at Lake Ontario. We have those rocks, called moraine in our area where the glaciers formed Yosemite Valley. I did not know LI has white sand either.

Blackstone makes a decent Merlot. Send me some! ;)

[Robert A Whit]

nice... do you know what it is listed for?

I just checked my service and it was for sale for 5,500,000 and sold in August 2012 for $5,400,000

I erred in saying it was 23,000 sq ft. it turns out it was about 11,000 sq ft.


I do happen to have a neighbor home for sale at $3,250,000 and it is also very large. (ABOUT 10,000 sq ft if memory serves me). Sorry i was trying to get a lot more detail.
