With the news of terrorists going door to door to inflict their heinous acts, some may be thinking of fortifying their home – and/or adding a safe room.
If you don’t want to build a concrete underground shelter, and just want to modify an existing room, this video shows how this guy created a hidden room in his closet:
It’s one of those things that if you ever needed it, you’d be glad you built it when you did.
Brand new single story in the heart of the village – this property used to be part of the Inn. This sold for $4,250,000 after 450 days on the market (with no price reductions). The listing agent ‘refreshed’ the listing after 421 days and then it sold right away.
There are expired plans for a 2,900sf house by local architect, Dena Gillespie, which were fully approved by the City of Encinitas and the CCC….hey!
Now that summer is over and mortgage rates are screaming towards 8%, many will assume that the real estate market has gone dormant for the rest of the year.
But my strategy of effectively sprucing up the house and utlizing an attractive price keeps working.

1610 Hermosita Dr., San Marcos
3 br/2 ba, 1,906sf
YB: 1991
4,597sf lot
LP = $1,100,000
Check out our new listing of a roomy 1,906sf one-story home right on the Lake San Marcos Executive Golf Course – now called the Exec at Lakehouse! Hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings with several skylights, refreshed white kitchen with quartz counters & eat-in breakfast nook, fantastic great room, extra-large primary suite with ample walk-in closet, and a courtyard that some homeowners have converted into additional living area. The location might be the best on the street, for two reasons: the longer driveway is one of the few where you can park cars on it, and the property is around the bend and rarely gets hit by golf balls – wow!

A review of our day near the beach:
Having a good feel for what buyers will tolerate makes a difference. When everything else is spectacular, they aren’t going to get hung up on a couple of minor things – and it’s my job to present them as minor.
