Participant[quote=jpinpb]BG – I know your heart is in the right place and I appreciate it as we can be unrealtistic. Tough for me to actually not buy in PB, but I’m close enough now if I really want, I can have a nice walk to the bay. My DH is not going to drive 20 minutes. We have been there and know that eventually we just stop going. Now it is convenient at the last minute to say, “Let’s go,” and it not be a major project. He likes that. Though w/all our projects, we’ve had limited time to actually go to the bay. :([/quote]
Oh, I wasn’t really serious 🙂 I understand that Clairemont and EC are apples and oranges. Yes, there IS the occasional cool breeze thru there in the summer, but the weather can’t compare with coastal and near-coastal communities. Lots of people don’t mind that and also don’t go to the beach very often, if at all. It is what it is (hotter and colder). That’s why you get a lot of “bang for your buck” out there :=]

ParticipantAcc to the map, the vacant adjoining lot is downslope. It appears to be the makeshift driveway that was encroaching on the adjoining lot.
It is unclear if this new buyer purchased both lots but likely he/she can find a plan which would include a sloped driveway next to the house on this lot.
It is unbelievable to me that an owner in this highly desirable urban area would attempt to steal up to a third of a vacant adjoining lot for ingress/egress in broad daylight and not expect repercussions!!

Participant[quote=jpinpb]Land value in PL w/a view now PPSF $96.
3228 Carleton sold for 265k. Someone is going to be building a nice house. Average/median PPSF is about $450. I’m thinking they can build a nice place for considerably less and be able to sell it for a profit. Hopefully it will be someone who will build their dream home and stay. But chances are not.[/quote]Appraiser note: Due to engineering defaults in the foundation (by City inspections) and lack of prescriptive easement sales price was negatively adjusted.
Lot Information
4,000 to 7,499 Sq. Ft.
Lot Size Source: Assessor Record
Steep Slope
APN: 531-313-03-00
Tax Parcel: 3228Carleton92106Jul 22, 2011 Sold (MLS) (Sold) $265,000 — Inactive SANDICOR #110008208
Feb 16, 2011 Pending (Contingent) — — Inactive SANDICOR #110008208
Feb 08, 2011 Listed (Active) $299,000 — Inactive SANDICOR #110008208
Feb 11, 2005 Sold (Public Records) $506,500 — Public RecordsI haven’t been to the site but it sounds like the buyer in 2005 intended to rebuild for a profit (actually got a 2nd TD “approved” on this monstrosity) but ran into some problems. Apparently the last occupants (before the City condemned the bldg) were using part of a neighbor’s lot for drainage, an overhanging deck or driveway encroachment, etc that they never bothered to perfect.
It’s also possible that the property above them had an easement on their (view) airspace and the pre-2005 owners infringed upon it by building up and then quit. It kind of looks like it was never properly finished.
The new buyer might have to pay for a survey and file a “quiet title” action on the owners of the adjoining parcel. Or perhaps that adjoining parcel already filed one on the 2005 owner and it’s still ongoing … or they already won.
Even though there are demo costs involved here and a steep slope, it’s still worth $300K. It’s nothing that a bulldozer and compactor can’t fix.
Good buy! Thanks for sharing.

Participant[quote=jpinpb][quote=bearishgurl][quote=jpinpb]I hope my DH has gone back to reading his motor blogs and doesn’t stumble upon this thread, LOL.[/quote]
jp, I know you just bought a house recently, but in 92019, there are MANY properties with multiple-car garages and also garages built specifically for “tall toys.” Some even have their own mechanic’s lift! You can usually get a lot of bang for your buck in a 1/3 to 2 AC (usually flat) lot with no clay or rocks to deal with (just “gophers” as far as the eye can see and tan-colored wild bunnies with black/white butts). GREAT for farming and horses, too!!
If your DH doesn’t see this thread, he won’t want to flip your house soon and take a look out in Granite Hills and surrounds for a new “fixer” for you BOTH to start all over on again, lol :=]
So hide his laptop…[/quote]
LOL. I should start a thread about the ravages of owning a fixer. It is wearing us out. I think we might stay put for a while just to recover, but I know my DH doesn’t shy away from projects and could easily be tempted by garages, while I would be tempted by the yard w/bunnies. Still need to be somewhat coastal for us, though. Otherwise, I’d just hunt around walterwhite’s neck of the woods ;)[/quote]
jp, just want you to know that back in May I was in a position to try the new SR-52 from the 805 after splitting off from the 5 southbound on my way back from SF. We were dropping my friend off at their home in east county. We left the SV area at 4:35 pm on a weekday and were back at the house in 92019 by 5:00 pm. The only minor slowdown was just east of Tierrasanta and just west of the “Mission Gorge” exit.
I can’t really say that “Santee” is only ten mins from LJ Cove, but with surface st traffic, may only be 20-25 mins. The “trick” is to find a timely parking space in or near LJ Cove :=]
Even though the 52 has a lunar landscape, I have to concede that it’s very convenient!
