coming full circle

5535 N Calle La Cima, one the early spec homes in the old foothills that was built on land split off from an older estate, is back in play.

La Cima, listed for sale in 2007 for $1,500,000 – eventually sold in October 08 for $783,500 as a short sale – is back on the market today for $1,050,000. (Listed by Long Realty)

You can’t miss it, it’s a two story in a one story neighborhood.

It’s in the original Catalina Foothills estates, where the CC&R’s have expired, allowing for lot splits and two story homes and who knows what else. From its beginning in the 1930’s, and until just a few years ago, this was an area where the homes were designed and built to blend in and live in harmony with the desert.

yeah sure, and maybe he'd like to buy a nice bridge in Brooklyn too. It's a damn shame.

This house overshadows the house next door - a Joesler that was remodeled. There was a rumor in the neighborhood that the owner was called on having built a two story house by the neighbors but that he claimed he was away in Europe when the remodel was done and hadn't understood that it would be two stories tall. Probably just a good example of what happens to a rumor when it gets passed about.

However it came to pass, it's too bad. Once one goes up, others will follow no doubt.
