Only in today’s crazy California real estate market would you expect to pay almost $4mil for a house WITH NO KITCHEN. (2215 Edgewater Way)

And never mind the gates in the living room on Dover. The raised area (foyer?) in the living area, with the metal ornament fence had me looking for chips and salsa and a mariachi band.
Wow. I know, location, location and all that…. But nearly $5 million for that kitchen (856 Centinela) seems obscene.
Exciting about the Seminary. It used to be a community asset. Local schools performed concerts in the chapel. Locals could walk their dogs on the property. Etc. It’s been closed off to the world for years and the community has been missing it. It could make an incredible hospitality venture. Fingers crossed something good comes of it and locals are also able to enjoy the grounds and beautiful buildings once again.
I think (not sure) that 809 De la Vina used to be the home to Melchiori Construction. The company went out of business due to owners embezzlement of funds. Back in 2019 the owner Mark Melchiori pled guilty to embezzlement and the company went out of business. The community was particularly saddened because the construction company was once regarded as one of the premier companies in the area. The son stole money from the company and ran it into the ground leaving many subcontractors without their money owed.
It was a pier.

Looks like it was purchased by RSM Resort LLC which appears tied to https://www.battagliainc.com/AboutUs.html
I remember in the 80’s when they filmed The Postman Always Rings Twice at the Rancho San Marcos golf course, before it was a golf course. I don’t think the film did all that well but it was fun watching and looking for recognizable landmarks.
The transaction showed up in MLS, but the title report hasn't come out yet, so the buyer remains unknown. (It's likely an LLC.) The buyer's agent was a commercial real estate agent, for what that's worth.
Any word/insight on purchaser of rancho San Marcos golf course?
His hilarious honesty is exactly why I read him! You should see what he said about my house (I cringe/I laugh/I cringe/I laugh).
My bad Eric! Love a good price drop...

670 Hot Springs is a relisting/price cut; it was first put on the market in July 2021 (for $74 million), and I wrote about it then: https://www.sitelinesb.com/golden-quadrangle-megamansion-asks-74-million/.
No comments on 670 Hot Springs?!
The comments regarding Puesta Del Sol are really disrespectful to the home, home owner, and the hard working agents that are bringing this home to market. Since almost your entire site seems to be real estate ads, I would really consider a more respectful tone. There are many an older home here in SB, as you well know, many that come with areas that need attention. Please consider the human beings and their hard work when making comments such as “buy frabreeze”.
Cafe Stella is closing?! What a bummer! That’s a been a great place for so long! ?
Still owned and resided in by the Smock family.
The county approved it, not the city. The description is that way for legal reasons.
As always, I love your writing and willingness to take us along on your adventures. Thank you.
