714 Larkhall Ln. Sold $75,000 Over List, Pending in Under a Week
Mid-century modern in Olde Stonehaven, $980,000 list, $1,055,000 sold, 29 days total.
Listed at $980,000. Pending inside a week. Closed at $1,055,000, $75,000 over list, 107.7% of ask. Total time from list to close: 29 days.
In the first two-week window the Zillow listing cleared 1,000 views and picked up more than 150 saves. The listing agent reported 20+ showings during the opening weekend.
The listing
714 Larkhall Ln sits in Olde Stonehaven, a pocket of mostly 1950s–60s mid-century homes between Cotswold and Providence Plaza. 4 bed, 3 bath, 2,707 sqft, built 1958, 0.73 acres. The property last sold in March 2021 for $790,000.
Olde Stonehaven inventory is thin. Mid-century-specific buyers cluster hard when a well-kept example lists. But thin inventory cuts both ways, pricing history is sparse, and a teardown-lot comp can drag perceived value down.
What the shoot covered
Marc Bastos (Mackey Realty) booked the Standard package:
- FPV interior tour (MLS + social cut)
- 30+ HDR interior photos
- Exterior aerial photo set
- 2D floor plan
The house’s strongest arguments were architectural, low-slung roofline, entry sequence, glass-wall great room, and lot-driven: the 3/4-acre setback, mature landscaping, private backyard. Both are hard to carry in ground photography. The FPV opening moved the viewer from the front porch through the length of the main floor to the backyard glass wall in one uninterrupted take, the shot a mid-century buyer actually wants.
The performance
The listing hit MLS April 30, 2025. Saves stacked fast. Bastos reported more than 80 Zillow saves in the first 72 hours. Showings piled on through the opening weekend, 20+ by Monday. Under contract within 7 days.
The contract closed at $1,055,000 on May 29, a $75,000 overage against a $980,000 list on a property whose immediate comp was a 2021 sale at $790,000. Olde Stonehaven listings in 2025 averaged 23 DOM at 99% of list. This listing cut that in half and closed 8+ points higher.
What else contributed
List pricing was calibrated against the Olde Stonehaven comp set, not aggressive, not padded, which kept the property under appraisal risk while leaving room for a competitive bid. Bastos structured an offer deadline that concentrated bids into a narrow window. The media’s job was to surface the listing to enough scrollers in the first 72 hours that the deadline actually had weight behind it.
What this shows
This is the Standard-package listing where the FPV tour carried both lot value and architecture. On mid-century homes, the walkthrough-in-one-take format matches how buyers think about the space, flow through glass, sightlines from entry to back yard, not a grid of still photos. The 107.7% close on a 29-day cycle wasn’t the media alone. But the front-loaded engagement inside 72 hours is what makes an offer deadline work.
Marc Bastos on the shoot: “Great experience from start to finish with Marshall! Professional and thorough, I would highly recommend his services!”
