It's a Mystery

I walk by this home frequently on my daily walks through Atherton, and it remains a mystery. Atherton, zip code 94027, is the most expensive real estate in the nation, with the average home selling for $7.5 million. But this one is abandoned, with a mossy, crumbling driveway, boarded up windows, cracked roof tiles, overgrown vegetation and collapsing garage. It's a 3,200 sq. ft. Spanish style home on 1 acre, and would sell for >$4M. It would no doubt be bought by a developer who would knock it down and build a $20M mansion like other new construction in the area. Maybe it's tied up in probate?

 

This daily capture is in keeping with the theme of "Introductions"; I am a walker, am a slave to my Fitbit and have maintained a 10,000+ daily step count for 402 days now, averaging 6 miles a day. That means a lot of my daily photo captures happen while I'm out walking.
