Touring ODM

There is another mention of President Bush in this clip, referring to the mistake I made the other day when I said Bush signed the 1997 Taxpayer Relief Act, when in fact it was President Clinton:

  2. Now see, I figure, why buy until I can afford THAT. With cash. :D

    Gonna have to make sure my next startup sells for at least $3M. ;)

  3. Very nice house, if you don’t mind lots and lots and lots and lots of stairs. Heck, this video deserves the slinky reference more than the last one.

  4. For a moment there I got all excited about seeing the house on 929 Border Ave….

  5. Who’s the architect? M.C. Escher? :)

    It is a nice house though, especially the floors. They’re just the right colour.

  6. What, no mention of what appears to be a bucket in the dining room to hold the rain water dripping through the roof?

  7. How much of a maroon do you have to be to land a house as spectacular as that one and then lose it because you couldn’t keep yourself away from the home ATM? People who re-refied themselves out of a house like that don’t deserve to ever be able to own again.

  8. Jim

    When are we going to get a tour of the $75M parcel sitting on the bluff? For that amount of dough..I would love to see the view from there!

  9. Thanks for the video. Very interesting property.
    FYI, the “castle” is no longer owned by Tony Robbins but a local Del Mar family with a few kids.

  10. Levels!

  11. Tony Robbins….hehehe what a lot of suckerz I mean buyers dont realize about that side of the Del Mar hill is that the sunset/sunrise shadow can come early/late!

    The sunrise is blocked until late! Always VERY damp there.

    If you ever drive 5 south pay attention to the shadows of that hillside…..would be a nightmare if you are a “sun person”

  12. That is a great house. Its close enough to the shops and beach but far enough away from the train. Excellent views and you have the hill behind you to block the freeway. Excellent quality inside. Only downside is the stairs and the small yard. But I think the other qualities like the view are exceptional.

  13. I recall about 10 years ago the property on the bluff selling. What ever became of that deal?

    anon | January 27th, 2010 at 12:54 pm

  14. There is a cool little park with tory pines and trails down to the lagoon. Indigenous pines which makes it unique.

    anon | January 27th, 2010 at 12:58 pm

  15. ah ha, there is a blue bucket next to the kitchen. With the rains lately, the place has a leaky roof.

    anon | January 27th, 2010 at 2:51 pm

  16. I like this one, too bad it’s outta my price park.

    Sol | January 27th, 2010 at 3:09 pm

  17. That is an incredible view on every level.

  18. I heard the other day that the huge parcel of land on the bluff above Dog Beach perched on the Del Mar/Solana Beach border, which was mentioned in your videa, was dramatically reduced from $75 mil to (if I recall correctly) $61 mil. I think it’s been on the market for well over a year now so someone should snatch it up at that super duper bargain price.

    The only problem is that the buyer who has dreams of developing it in any way will have to deal with Del Mar Design Review Board – no easy task. Look at how the recent Garden Del Mar project (the old gas station parcel on 10th and Camino Del Mar) ran some responsible developers (who had a great design) out of town. Poor guys – they spent 3 1/2 years working with DM residents to get it approved only to realize that the financing situation had changed so much in the meantime that they couldn’t make it happen. Plus, they probably spent far more than they imagined on designing and redesigning and engineering and re-engineering.

    I’m a resident of Del Mar and love it here but the City of DM sure does drain unsuspecting fixer-buyers of both energy and money before they can do any kind of renovation here (we’ve done 2 major DM renovations and have the battle scars to prove it).
