This house isn’t actually that bad – I mean, it’s only $457 per square foot. And look, it’s got a “separate” storage room. Sure it looks like it’s slightly leaning in the photo, but you’ll be enjoying views of that pole for years to come.
And, check out this fence:
You don’t want a fence that says “I’m 1%”. You want a fence that says “I’m 99%”. And this, my friends, is that fence.

Used to be model home, master bedroom was expanded. It used to be a 6 bedrooms house. now it has a big Master Bedroom and a loft. Do not crash Appointment only!!!
Thanks to Burbed reader sonarrat for this find.
As we all know, Realtors know the most about the market, and the hordes of buyers waiting on the sidelines. That’s why this Realtor had to explicitly call out “Do not crash” because otherwise desperate buyers, waiting to buy anything, will storm the house and snap it up.
Really, these buyers should just buy without looking inside, after all, that’s why there are no interior pictures!
It’s fascinating how this 6 bedroom house was expanded to be a 4 bedroom house. But let’s face it, it used to be a model (back in 1999 I guess) so it is still hot hot hot.
And… it comes with on a .28 acre lot. Let’s take a look!
Oh yeah. That’s quite the lot. I love especially how it tapers off at the very end. Are you thinking what I’m thinking? Yeah… this would make a great miniature golf course! That’s where you’d put the windmill!

LOOKING FOR A BARGAING? Fantastic Opportunity For anyone including contractors. Lots of Potential in this 2Bed/1Bath and 1detach car garage Home, plus 2Bed/1Bath in-law in basement with separate entrance(not warranted). New pluming and electricity. Good commuter location. Needs some work. Don’t Miss This One. Here’s Your Chance!
This house may need some work. Like making it visible! Actually this house was built originally as part of the government’s continuity plan. You see, by making it hard to find, terrorists can’t get to it. They just never got around to adding concertina wire to the fences on either side – but you can do that. Cool huh? If you like privacy, this house is for you!
And now it can be yours. It’s a BARGAING! And at $473 per square foot, definitely super affordable.
There. Now the Bay Area (unreal) is affordable. Problem solved.

One Big Heck of a Wreck – Bring your Check!
It’s Friday!
I thought I’d share with you further proof that the affordable housing crisis is now solved in the Bay Area. Check it out! A 2,920 sqft home, 5/4 for just $449k! That’s $154 per square foot.
Let’s take a look inside, shall we?
They always say that honesty is the best policy, and this Realtor’s description is not only apt, but catchy.
I can’t help but to think of Grey Gardens (which I saw this week) when looking through these photos. Except that this house is located in beautiful South San Francisco, and not somewhere snooty like East Hampton.
Are you brining your check?

2BD/ 1BA Bungalow with a convenient SSF location. Possibilities for this house are endless! This home’s large corner lot provides a perfect opportunity for a contractor/buyer looking for a home to put their own touch on. The LR leads directly into the DR. It?s perfect for entertaining! Both BD?s are well proportioned and have an abundance of light. The Eat-In kitchen has the opportunity to shine!
Here’s what Burbed reader Jeff had to say:
Not pictured: El Camino Real, See’s Candies factory
Literally. This dump is right next door to the See’s Candies factory..
and it’s on a frontage road right in front of El Camino. I was wondering how long it would take for this house to pop up on the MLS, and now I know.
Wow… easy access to chocolate. Sign me up! I think what Jeff is missing on though, is that the living room leads directly into the dining room.
Let me repeat that.
THE LIVING ROOM LEADS DIRECTLY INTO THE DINING ROOM. Hot damn! I’m tired of houses where the living room leads the bedroom, the bathroom, the sunroom, the datacenter, the garage and then dining room. This is an amazing improvement – a feature that you will never see anywhere else.
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving – this house is perfect for entertaining guests. You wouldn’t want them to stumble through the bedroom, the bathroom, the wine cellar, when walking from the living room to the dining room after all – would you?

Let’s face it, the tech sector hasn’t done as amazingly well as we had hoped this year. On the other hand, biotech is going to rock. Why? People keep getting sick!
It’s only a matter of time before South San Francisco becomes the next Palo Alto… or the next Atherton! Biotech! You think $691 per square is expensive – better buy now – $900 per square foot is right around the corner!
Plus, with a house this small, you’ll be able to spend more time at work working on solving the next major human illness. See, you’re helping humanity by owning this home.
If you’re not buying it, you don’t care about people. Sorry.

Starter home with new paint and carpets. 2BD/1 BA home with detached 1 car garage. Additional uncovered parking at back of house. Perfect for investors or contractor’s looking for a light remodel. Close proximity to the shops and restaurants of Grand Avenue. Also close to freeway access for easy commute to City or South Bay.
If you ask me, I sort of wonder if this house is actually detached.
That said, this house is near super star Genentech – which once acquired by Roche for $200 per share, will instantly cause the RE market in South San Francisco to soar. Just think about all the new millionaire employees that will be generated. Plus, think of all the expansion and hiring they will do.
Personally, to me, the biggest draw is that this is near the shops and restaurants of Grand Avenue. Wow. Grand Avenue. I mean, it’s so…. uh… grand!
With the money you’ll be making from buying this house, you’ll be able to invite your neighbors (whom you will know rather well) out to dinner all the time!

That’s right! There’s plenty of parking in the rear! Again, another great example of a house with great potential cash flow opportunities! I’m telling you, providing Park n Fly services to SFO will make you rich – all with the benefit of OPM (Other People’s Money).
