Open House- East County Easter Weekend
Is land important to you?
Land can be troublesome. It wants care, and where fires are a threat it needs special attention. But land can be liberating. Cubicle workers and surfers can both appreciate having room to stretch the legs and run the dog. Today we offer something for land lovers and trouble avoiders.
7370 La Mesita Place in La Mesa - Belvedere homes
Don’t complicate my life with land, give me a trouble free home.
7370 La Mesita Place in La Mesa is one of seven townhomes available in this 21 unit project recently built. Open Saturday, this unit has 2 bedrooms, 2.5 baths and 1321 square feet. It’s a three story home with a 2 car attached garage, central air & heat and some interesting architectural features. It sold about a year ago for $469k and now they’re asking $400k. Information is incomplete and it’s not clear if there is a HOA fee.
170 Landale Lane, El Cajon (Granite Hills) open Saturday. 2,167 square feet; 4 bedrooms, 3 baths going for a steep $345 per square foot, a total of $748 thousand. It’s been listed 33 days, built in 1960 and sits on 1.63 spacious acres. If you can survive reading the blinding solid block of run-on capital letter text you will learn that it has a pool, security system and automatic gate. Similar homes nearby have sold for more and for less- Zillow estimates the value at $618k. At the listed price, Redfin would refund about $15,000.
” Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above, Don’t fence me in…” Bing Crosby popularized this Cole Porter song, and now is your chance to own a nice piece of California land for less than 1/2 million dollars. 269 Lilac Drive in El Cajon is open Saturday for your viewing pleasure. It’s a tiny house- 2bed, 1 bath, 770 sq.ft. and outrageously priced at $552/sq.ft. But it’s only $425k and it comes with 4.4 acres of LAND. Built in 1945, it’s been listed about 24 days. Save $8,500 with Redfin.
