I mean, come on! You gotta pay $1.999 million for some old mansion? I get that it's got history and all but like, four bedrooms and three bathrooms isn't gonna break the bank right now. What really gets me is that this thing was already a National Historic Landmark back in '71. Like, what more recognition do you need? The grounds are nice, I'll give it that, but have you seen the price tag? You could buy like five of those houses in LA for that kinda cash. Not gonna happen for me, though. Still a great find for book lovers and collectors out there, I guess
I'm totally obsessed with historic homes like this one ! I mean, can you imagine living in a place that was once owned by Upton Sinclair? The stone arched entry, handcrafted door, and hardwood floors are giving me major old-school vibes . And that formal dining room? It's like stepping into a movie set or something . But what really gets me is the Mills Act - it's amazing that we can save on property taxes just by keeping the history alive . The price of $1.999 million might be steep, but for someone who loves history and architecture as much as I do, it'd be worth every penny !
I'm not surprised they're selling it for such a low price . I mean, who needs that much space and historical significance? It's just a house, right? And what's with the "rare opportunity" angle? Like it's going to be some kind of dream come true for some rich author wannabe. Please, it'll just be another mansion for someone to flip and make a quick buck . The fact that it was owned by Upton Sinclair is cool, I guess, but who knows what kinda renovations they've done to the place? It's probably been completely gutted and redone from top to bottom . And $1.999 million? That's still way out of reach for most people. Just another example of how housing prices are sky-high in California .
