Comment highlight on 2827 San Juan Blvd, Belmont

KT left this lovely comment on the story about 2827 San Juan Blvd that I thought should be highlighted for those of you who read this through a feed and don’t check old comments:

Oh come on.. you left out the best parts of this little dandy.

1) How about the food left in the back room- is it still decaying on the dresser?

2) Has anyone ever flushed the toilet, or is hte floater still around?

3) How about all the fun you can have rolling down your own private hill- a.k.a, the second level living room floor;

4) The bulging outdoor walls where you can estimate for yourself how much longer before the house gives way.

5) Ever take a peak inside the ‘attics’ of the little rentals? Please do- then you’ll know where all those used oil containers go.

6) It wasn’t a woman who owned the house- it was a man. You can see all of his bank and tax records in the bedroom where he died.

7. The woman, I believe, was his sister- she was collecting the rents and putting them in her pocket. This lasted until the bank protested and kicked everyone out. I could go on and on, but I think you get the gist why this home is still on the market.

Thank you KT for these insights.  I also heard that there was an official looking notice taped to the door that said all the structures are worth less than $100.  Is that still there?  Keep the tips coming because they’re pretty entertaining.

    It was on the REDC auction site, but it’s now been removed. Went on-site to look at this gem last weekend, and there were red notices posted stating that entry is forbidden due to contamination. You could even smell the urine (probably feline).

    The neighbor said that the pair refinanced to the tune of 900 grand, and bought other properties with it. So, when the bank forclosed on this property, they didn’t care. They owned other, better properties. Pretty slick eh?

    Whoever buys this, will have to tear everything, absolutely everything down, and most likely they’d need to completely redo the entire foundation as well as the underground structural supports that keep it from sliding down the hill.
