A challenge to all my real estate friends: List this house!
This post is dedicated to Ron and Alexandra Seigel, luxury real estate marketing consultants and owners of Napa Consultants in Santa Barbara, California. I have known Ron and Alexandra for a few years through a real estate professional networking site. I highly recommend them for anyone needing luxury real estate marketing services anywhere in the world, not just in Santa Barbara or California.

When I did a post on March 2 about Dr. Seuss and the Geisel Library at the University of California San Diego (UCSD), I was reminded that there are lots of picture-taking opportunities on the UCSD campus. It ranks probably as the quirkiest campus I’ve ever visited, and I’ve been to five or six hundred college and university campuses, maybe more.
An addition to campus late last year was a house. It seems to be a standard house, until you look at where it’s located. Is this an example of the old real estate adage: “Location, location, location.”
I want all my real estate friends to come up with their best listing presentation for this fine piece of Southern California real estate:

That house sits on top of the Irwin & Joan Jacobs School of Engineering building, which I think is six stories tall. Irwin Jacobs is a founder and former chairman of Qualcomm, the company that makes much of the stuff that lets your mobile phone do what it does….. blame him.
I went over to the Geisel Library, sixth floor, to get one more picture:

Great find
Russel, WOW! What a location.. Better watch that first step, it’s a doosy!
Reblogged this on and commented:
Very cool
Thanks Vina!
That house look so cool, better be careful not to tip it over!
That’s awesome!
What great photo’s! My cousin lives there-have to check it out next time!
I think this house gives a new meaning to: “Location, location, location.”
how very strange! but quirky. It looks like it’s going to fall off!
I’m not in real estate so I’m not making any price quotes. I must ask; however, is that a fully functioning house?
Also, how was it erected with such an overhang? I’m guessing that idden in what appears to be a concrete base are angled steel I-beams estending at least 2/3 the length of the house from the roof of UCSD.
It’s an impressive sight.
The house once was a fully functioning house and was moved by crane to the top of the building. I have no idea how it was attached but since the engineers at UCSD did it, I trust it.
Oh WOW…
