Romney To Enlarge La Jolla Oceanfront Home

Like the country he hopes to lead as president, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney has a real-estate problem. His issue is the inadequate size of his oceanfront home.

The San Diego Union-Tribune reported this weekend that Mr. Romney, in town for a series of fund-raisers, is also at work on plans to nearly quadruple the size of his $12 million home in La Jolla, Calif.

“….[Romney] has filed an application….to bulldoze the existing 3,009-square-foot structure in the seaside neighborhood north of downtown and replace it with a two-story, 11,062-square-foot house….A Romney campaign aide confirmed the story on Sunday…….“They want to enlarge their two-bedroom home because with five married sons and 16 grandchildren, it is inadequate for their needs,” the aide said.

Shades of “The fundamentals of the economy are strong”, circa 2008 campaign. Maybe this is Mitt’s “jobs creation plan”?

The question is, who’s more clueless: the candidate, or the campaign staffer who not only didn’t think that it might be a good idea to deny the story, but who also chose to elaborate on the reasons for for the reno.

Here’s the UT’s take on it.
http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2011/aug/20/romney-home-in-la-jolla-to-grow/

And if anyone wants to see the house on redfin – http://www.redfin.com/CA/La-Jolla/311-Dunemere-Dr-92037/home/4913412

Or zillow –
http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/311-Dunemere-Dr-La-Jolla-CA-92037/16849324_zpid/#{scid=hdp-site-map-bubble-address}

(which still has listing pictures).

Redfin flags it as a possible abnormal sale, zillow shows that it was relisted right after Romney bought it. Probably a mess up in the MLS by an agent or something.

Since you guys know that I love a good database dive… I was surprised to see it is held outside an LLC or trust… just Willard and Ann Romney. Not surprising, no mortgage.

Since he doesn’t own property in MA anymore – is living at his son’s house… I wonder if he’ll declare residency here? Or how that would play into presidential politics.
