Super Fun site in Mountain View, Perfect for entertaining!
Let’s finish out the week with a double dose of Mountain View Bubble 4.0: this house is a floor wax and a dessert topping. Today’s featured property was brought to you courtesy of Burbed reader bublidoo. Thanks very much for a listing so aerated that we had to go to four different sites until we found a photo of the actual house as it exists today. Yep, pending in a week!

So why is this house nominated for a big ol’ Burbed hug? Let’s check in with our reader whose very name implies Bubble 4.0.
wanted to point out this stunning, newly constructed custom craftsman to you. If it was near good schools or downtown Mountain View (the description claims both … but not sure about "near"), perhaps the price could be justified. But what we’re looking at here …
is an asking price well over a million bucks for a single family house (yes, stunning, I forgot, sorry …) on a small lot within the vapor intrusion study area. And the listing comes on the heels of super fun coverage by burbed, the local TV channel, and the Mountain View Voice. One has to wonder why the agent didn’t include "Buyer to attend meetings on toxic vapors. Walk to Google Offices!"
Perhaps there’s been too much super fun coverage already? In that case, no pressure … and hope you had a chuckle.
Cheers!
Oh no, bublidoo, you can never, ever, ever have too much Super Fun. Want some more? Let’s look at this house over on Redfin, where’ they’ve pulled down the listing and are featuring the before photo (singular) and listing copy.
Did we mention how much we love Pending/Do Not Show? It’s like an extra set of presents we completely missed behind the Christmas tree! And speaking of extra presents, look what we found on Zillow. This is like finding out we’re celebrating Chanukah too, as an added extended family holiday, with bunus presents!
Wow, who knew that side of the family was so artsy? (Or too klutzy to use a camera?) Must be because of those good schools.

Unrelated to this, I did a little research as this is fascinating to me. Apparently there is a higher concentration of superfund sites in Silicon Valley than any other part of the country. Almost 30 in all.

Would a portal to hell be more valuable than a toxic vapor plume?

Do you get high if you breathe in deeply near Whisman?

#3 i’d guess yes, given the inflated price someone paid for this vaporware. add the radon fumes from the granite counters and you’ve got wild saturday night plans.

This is nothing compared to the fun this family had.

I knew that story was familiar. Published several other places last year and also referenced here on a few of the meth lab threads.

“Apparently there is a higher concentration of superfund sites in Silicon Valley than any other part of the country. Almost 30 in all.”
Yes, many of the semiconductor manufacturers dumped all kinds of chemicals. In addition, there are also some military-related sites, such as near Moffett, that also has some toxicity.
