I am sad...I hate to be this way...we are losing our view of the hills. [View all]

It is an older neighborhood in a semi-rural part of a bedroom community just North of Los Angeles near the Coast.

It was a tiny, maybe 500 sq ft. post war, but custom on an 1/4 acre lot. I can't blame the new owner for
wanting a hillside property near the Coast, but he is going up to a second level and it will run
parallel to our view of the hills above. We will lose almost all of our view unless we step into the back part
of our lot.

It will finish like a new, big custom home and I know it will bRing up the value of this neighborhood
greatly, but I am sad to lose my view. I have lived her since 1978 and got used to seeing the sun rise over those hills.

The cement mixers are here today so I know it is really happening.

UPDATE..October 2015

One year later..the house is over priced, poorly planned and will not sell anytime soon.
