The problem with being very close to elementary school is a potential concern. Personally I’m alright with it (avoiding 7:45am~8:15 am is fine) but I’m afraid down the road when I try to sell will it be a problem?

Well, that depends on what you try to resell the home at, because regardless of location there is always someone who would be interested in buying if the price is right 🙂
Imho, having a Torrey Hills Elem nearby, I wouldn’t be so concerned that this would significantly be a drawback, since like I said it’s currently the third seated elementary in the district (Sage, Ocean Air, Torrey Hills)..And plenty of folks in CV that would pay a *reasonable* premium for said school. (Torrey Hills will be the “spill-over” school for all pissed off would be Sage Canyon parents that aren’t going to be lucky enough to send their kids to Sage due to overcrowding…)
As far as the 100sqft discrepancy, I can’t comment but in my own home, there was on option between having a an extra room + 2 car garage or a one less room and a 3 car tandem. It was recorded as a 3 car tandem less one room, but the original owner opted for the extra room and 2 car garage. I don’t believe any of the Sausalito homes came ever came with a 3 car tandem option, and if doing a little digging, plan one had a maximum sqft of 1731 i believe….Anyway, when it’s appraised, it would be measured.
For an asking price of $679k… I don’t know. I guess that’s my polite way of saying I wouldn’t do it. The price isn’t outrageous, but it’s not a steal… Personally, I’d prefer to pay closer to $650k ish for that home. (Ironically put you at at the -$35k mark)…But then again, that is arbitrary and I don’t think you can find many SFH in this price range to begin with, so the PPSF for these smaller homes are going to higher than others. If the seller would sell at $650k, it would probably find buyers (and I know which one you’re talking about :))
