Potential buyers will need to cover the expenses for decontaminating the property, which previously harbored a bomb and meth manufacturing operation before an FBI raid earlier this year.
Peter Karasev’s former residence, a 2,743-square-foot, 6-bedroom house situated in a quiet San Jose cul-de-sac, is now on the market for a hefty $1.55 million
The listing on Zillow explicitly states that the house “has an inactive Meth lab and meth contamination” and remains uncleared of contamination, emphasizing that it will be sold in its current state.
Cleaning costs will be added to the property’s price, which initially stood at $1.425 million on October 13, subsequently increasing by $125,000 just a week later. Access to the premises is restricted until cleaning and clearance are granted by the Santa Clara County Department of Health. In March, the residence was raided by San Jose Police and FBI agents leading to the arrest of Peter Karasev, a Russian national, for alleged offenses including stockpiling bomb-making materials and meth production.
Peter Karasev had planted multiple bombs in critical areas of San Jose, including Pacific Gas & Electric transformers, though fortunately, no injuries resulted from the detonations
While it remains uncertain if Peter Karasev owned the property, Peter Karasev resided there with his wife and three young children prior to his arrest. Peter Karasev’s wife was not implicated in any crimes, and their children were relocated following his apprehension. Peter Karasev faces charges including child endangerment, arson, and possession of materials intended for explosive devices.
He revealed to investigators that his actions were driven by distress over the Russia-Ukraine war. The house, located in San Jose’s Vista Park neighborhood, was previously sold in 2021 for $1.51 million. A 2021 Compass listing highlighted the property’s modern features, updated appliances, pool, and a “finished shed” suitable for various purposes.
