[quote=sdrealtor]touche! The funny thing is I think my house is too big too and its almost half the size as yours. I just love where its located. As for the subject house, you live on the inside of the house not the outside. Its not Carlsbad schools its Encinitas/San Dieguito schools which are highly coveted. I did the search and there are currently ZERO houses like that on the market. Not one, not ten and certainly not 46. Its a good deal.
Location, location, location!
Only thing growing on my slope these days is native plants and weeds but heading up to Napa again next week and will be talking to winemakers about what kind of grapes I might be able to grow on it in this climate.[/quote]
You live inside the house when there is nothing outside but weed filled slope with folks looking down. Otherwise, you can spend a lot of time outdoors, play ball on the grass, and swim everyday.
As for the schools, plenty of good schools around. Quite frankly, I do believe la costa academy has not done well on API for a while. Even coming in lower than San Marcos. It has a not so great UC acceptance rate compared to other schools of similar demographic background.
You might have a problem with a guy 10 years younger with a house twice ad big, but
I frankly have no problem rotting in my mcmansion that was $160/sqft with my LTV at 60%.
