And because it’s a Joesler and was priced at just $449,000($163/sf) there was a lot of interest in it.
And inside it was in fairly good and mostly original condition,
sweet and charming,
It’s at 4141 N Pontatoc Road (listed by Tierra Antigua Realty)
2756 sf/1.6 acres/burnt adobe/3 Beds/3 Baths/no pool/
and the listing description mentions; one of the last homes designed by Josiah Joesler for the Kellogg family.
But the problem is it sits right next to Pontatoc Rd.
When it was built in 1957, a year after Joesler died, I’m sure you could’ve counted all the cars that passed on Pontatoc in one day on one hand. Not so today.
And I imagine that’s why it took a year to sell. I got more than a few calls on it and let everyone know that it was sweet and charming, but also that it sat cheek to jowl with Pontatoc. And for that reason I recommended against it. Too bad.
Without Pontatoc, I probably could have sold it 5 or 6 times. But also, without Pontatoc it would have been listed for a lot more than $449,000.
PS-someone couldn’t resist though, it sold for $439,000 ($159/sf)
