This looks like a run-out old 1970’s fixer in the San Marcos school district but it is on the best side of the golf course were you’ll get afternoon sun and no golf balls! At the peak there were sales of $1.775 and $1.8 million on this side of the street!
Regardless of how attractive the list price is, buyers look at houses like this and automatically want to deduct at least $100,000 for repairs and improvements – but banks aren’t going to budge during the first couple of weeks.
If you see houses like this blowing off the market early, you know that the frenzy is back:
Zillow says this place sold for almost $1.5M back in 2004. Giving it back to the bank was probably a smart move.
Sold for $1.0 million in 2002, and 2.5 years later it sold for $1.44M.
By the end of 2005 he had $1.675 in loans out on it.
That place is an abortion in any market!

“Hello bank… come pick up your house.”
With all new flooring, paint, and some bathroom updates that could be a pretty nice house to me. 4100 sq ft one story is not easy to find in SD, and with a large backyard and view even more so.
I really like it. New kitchen, floors, bathrooms and get that backyard updated and you’ll be good to go!
The bones are there and (to be honest), I kinda like the eclectic 70s floor plan/look. It’s unique and a fixed up one would be very cool.
You have a large pool for laps, a decent sized yard, a great golf course location (yet private and elevated) and it’s one story!
That house has a lot of potential. If I had the money, I’d take a hard look at that one.
This makes one makes the case for “Country Living” (your new listing on Salem in Vista)by comparison. If I were in the market for a big bomber, I know which one I’d find more appealing.
And if you blow that wall out that’s in the master, you’d have a HUGE master. I’d use some of that second room to create a big bathroom and a bigger closet.
Speaking of climate, this is ideal. It’s close to the beach…but it’s just enough inland that the marine layer usually stays away. It tends to go to the I-5 or just past that & just stay there. It’ll be foggy/cloudy for days on end at my house and yet when I’m getting groceries at Albertsons on La Costa & El Camino Real?
All sun..warmer, yet not hot.
I like this house a lot. Nice sun exposure from the family room too.
Sounds like 8′ ceilings aren’t a deal breaker to everyone.
It looks like you will need to PUT up some walls and tear down some others.
If money was no object, then this would be a nice project to take on.
