Round II

Posted on March 26, 2007 - Filed Under Housing |

The next round has begun.

Thank goodness I have comfortable walking shoes.

As predicted, there is a large selection of possibilities.  I have settled on two and a half.

First:  Spanish style house, very beautiful.  Three units with four car garage and a nice yard.

Second:  Cottage style.  This one needs some work but has lots of potential.  Three units with a three car garage.  Small yard.

Both are three blocks from the ocean.

The "half" . . . we’ll I haven’t made up my mind.  Two large houses, sitting in an area called California Heights.  The owner is asking, quite frankly, a ridiculous sum for this property.  There are some stunning houses next to it.  But the justification for the price isn’t there.

We’ll see.

Definitely today I’ll be extending offers on both places.  The "half" will be contemplated, probably with my morning cup of coffee.

EDIT:  I managed to find photos of the two houses I like.  For visual, here they are!

What I was not prepared for was the outpouring of phone calls.

    The “cottage style” is also known as a “Craftsman”. It is nice. I like the windows in the front.

    I’m in the processes now of renovating one!
