If you’re on the market for a San Jose fixer-upper, here’s a doozy: This one can’t be legally inhabited until the inactive meth lab inside is cleaned up. The list price? $1.5 million.
It’s being sold as-is — and the purchaser will get it sight unseen. At least on the inside. No access to the house will be provided before the Santa Clara County Health department gives its approval, the property listing notes.
The San Jose home, about a block north of Gunderson High School, was raided in March of this year as part of an explosives investigation targeting 36-year-old Peter Karasev, who investigators said was using it as a base to stockpile bomb-making chemicals and methamphetamines.
Over the course of four days, San Jose police and explosive specialists with the FBI and National Guard uncovered “homemade liquid explosive, multiple energetic homemade destructive devices and multiple suspected destructive devices,” unspecified bomb-making materials, and pipe bombs, the Mercury News previously reported
