I just looked at aerial closeups of both houses at the end of this cul-de-sac (with pie-shaped lots). The rectangular lot to the north (next door) has a MUCH bigger backyard than this one. The two pie-shaped lots are mostly slope; however the pano views from this lot are superior to the neighbors’ lots. A large deck can be built off the slope.
I think it’s kind of wacky where the pool was installed and agree it would be challenging to cover it over properly. It’s very close to the house.
Wantoceanview, had you thought of considering possible “fixers” in 92107? Most houses would likely be at least 10 years older there and the houses/lots likely not quite as big for the price, but you may get a bit of “whitewater view” up towards Hill St.
I believe most buyers, though, would think the pano views of this lot are better than a typical upper-OB view (with current overhead line easements). And, a “whitewater-view” fixer, IF you could find one, may be out of your price range and/or need more work than you may be able to do.
