East Bay home with killer bay views hits the market for less than a million (although it might go for more than that).

Listed at $929k in Kensington, this mid-century modern home with astounding sunset views at 149 Lawsen Road, backs up onto Tilden Park.

But it's not a particularly large home.

The 2 bed, 2 bath 1700 square foot home sits next to one of the natural gems of the Bay Area, Tilden Park, complete with it's carousel, steam train, public golf course, canyons and wildlife.

The 6000 square foot lot is multi-layered, as is the house. The covered back porch leads to an outdoor dining area that climbs up to landings that provide glorious sunset views.

 

The place last sold for $286,000 in 1991, and now it's asking $929,000. The relatively low price for this unique home and its multi-million dollar views means it will likely sell for a higher price

At that kind of price, the property taxes will be horrific.  Better have a gigantic nest egg to pay them, or eventually the King (the state) will get it back from you.

  

And with enormous unfunded liabilities to state workers for their gold plated pensions and benefits, and to illegal aliens for free everything, you'll sleep less than well knowing that the state government is eventually going to be coming after people like you for money. You're a tax target because you've got a nice house like this one!  But, in exchange, you can hire an illegal gardener  off the books to keep the place looking good for the King, who is the ultimate owner of all property.

I'll admit, the multiple backyard decks with a view are nice.  

Classy entrance and killer views.

 I wonder if the current owners are planning to move out of state once the place sells?  Almost certainly.   With the money they'll score from this sale, there's a multitude of similarly nice places to go without the fear of tax confiscation.
