Thanks for responding and thanks for the encouraging words. I didn’t realize it had been on the market for 1.7M last June; that is some consolation.
It will be interesting to see what it went for. 1468 Crest, with a small teardown, went for 1.3M in late ’04. But arguably it had a better view as it didn’t directly overlook the mega-greenhouse complex that 1534 overlooks. At the time I couldn’t believe someone would just drop that kind of money on the place, scrape the lot, and then just SIT on it. It’s still an empty lot today. There’s some serious money in north county. Oh well, I’ll keep trying.
