That is my kind of house. I love it, too. But, then again, I like projects.
Great neighborhood. We often see houses in this area on the Clairemont Garden tour. People do great things with those big lots.
One thing I don’t like is the fact that the sloped lot seems untouched. Sometimes you get some terracing down those slopes that gives you some garden space.
You might be able to make a joint project out of it – make some retaining walls in the canyon and take some dirt out to make terraces. Then use the dirt to fill the pool.

It may, however, be unobtainable. If it has been on the market that long, I would guess the sellers aren’t interested in selling it at a price that makes sense to any buyer.
Definitely want your realtor to feel them out – explicitly ask what offers have they rejected and have your agent dig into public records to determine their financial position. I suspect their agent is basically annoyed with them by now.
