Scarlett . . . uh, hello??You said yourself that the family room was taken from the sf of a bedroom. Had you ever considered whether this property might qualify for an FHA 203K loan?? You would put little down and save cash for future repairs/rehab (as well as the cash you are eventually loaned over and above your purchase-money amt which could be used for repairs/rehab).
Had you ever thought of moving this (probably 19′ x 19′) “substandard garage” to the ample backyard? How much $$ do you think this takes?? Try $25-$30K.
And this is coming from the “queen” of SD mid-century development. It’s all “small potatoes” from here on out.
Why don’t you use the current inspection report on file to attempt to obtain this “estate” property in the $350-$375K range??
Just a “suggestion,” nothing more. Just think of the possible future tax savings from acquiring Radcliffe at rock-bottom prices :=]
Think outside of the box or DRIVE. Those are your choices, here, the way I see it.[/quote]
Scarlett lowballed the termite problem.
Without me wasting too many keystrokes, let me suggest that you Google the address, do an overhead view, and tell me how in the world you’d “move the garage”? Where would you propose moving the driveway?
The only acceptable thinking out of the box would be to buy the lot, bring in bulldozer, and start over. There’s nothing wrong with your logic in general, but this was not the place to do it. It’s one thing to argue a strategy, but how in the world can you defend a place if you are looking at it from SDLookup only?

Participant[quote=yellowS2K]Still not sure if UC is an option given traffic on Genesee and Governor – but hope to test that out soon. Also, wife seems to be leaning heavily towards the area around Sage and Ocean Air anyway. But we’ll see![/quote]
A flexible commute can pretty much negate the Genesee/Governor issue, as can some route creativity (coming in from the south via 52, for example).

Might be a wait list issue, though it typically is less of a wait the younger you start.

Avoid Genessee, north or south, between Nobel and Governor, between 7:20am and 8am, and 3pm and 6pm.Between the high school and the commuters trying to get to 52 – it backs up terribly.
[/quote]Change Nobel to Torrey Pines for the afternoon commute. Genesee is bad in the afternoon from its north tip all the way to Governor (and sometimes 52). I’m not necessarily up or down on UC, but don’t be fooled by its proximity to UCSD – it takes a long time to get home in the afternoon if you live there.
AN is pretty much correct – Torrey Hills presents very few challenges for an afternoon commute, though even getting I-5 N from UCSD can be challenging (especially if you try to do that via Genesee heading south).
And another thing, which probably isn’t either here or there, is unless one is VERY important at UCSD and is ponying up a lot of money for a parking permit, they likely are a 15-minute walk (on average) from their office to their parking spot. The “driving home for lunch” factor just doesn’t apply.
