My God,what an ugly,trashy little house.
Just curious——is there a view behind it? I thought I glimpsed one in one of the pics.
Whoever sold it must be grinning from ear to ear.

In the article, there are a series of pictures of the inside with a couple pics looking out towards the front. The answer for the high cost of the land is apparent, it faces the ocean. Those who live here know that the street lies below a sand berm that supports the Great Highway road that runs parallel to the sandy beach. If you build high enough (as in two or more stories), you can see out over the Great Highway (which is a couple lanes in each direction) and see the beach and ocean. There are multiple crossings to gain access to the wide sandy beach every block or two. Lots of recreational activities happen daily there, real popular. Also some nice small restaurants with outdoor tables on that street. The zoo is at one end, Golden Gate Park at the other end of the street, all within walking distance. It's the land that is valuable, not the house on it.
My son-in-law's sister owns a beachfront house in Huntington Beach facing the ocean. She's a lawyer and spent millions on it. She says its worth the cost just to be at the beach.
