Nightmare--1820 Elm Street, Alameda, CA
Reader D. noticed I didn't cover the property at 1820 Elm Street when it appeared on the market. The main reason I didn't is because I can't find any decent pictures anywhere that I'm allowed to show, and because its MLS(r) listing creeps me out. But in the interest of thoroughness, here goes Freddy Krueger's house.
There's no significant sale history to discuss, so one has to assume it's a regular ol' sale without all that much at stake. The sellers don't seem too motivated, either, judging by the bare-bones listing. We shall see if anyone picks it up.
2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 1,056 sqft, 4,550-sqft lot, MLS(r) #40367213, $425,000The description is engaging: "Please do not disturb tenants." And there's no heat. Sure makes you want to buy it right now. At $402 / sqft in a part of town not particularly reknowned for its loveliness, it's overpriced by a good $50,000, and its laconic listing with no pictures of the inside doesn't help its cause.
Please do not disturb tenants.
