I can see you in that house.

Even in the absence of unsightly signage, in the past 12 months, 24 multi-million dollar homes sold in the desirable neighborhood. ---- I'd wager every purchase was another crook hiding dollars under Florida's homestead law.

Isn't this interesting. It looks as though it was built with care and high-end materials. I can't help but wonder, though, who'd feel comfortable with a lot of the "lifestyle" elements-- catering kitchen, huge wine cellar, sunken Grand salon...and the mirrored laundry room. (I have no interest in watching myself shove my husband's dirty work clothes into the washer....no matter how Pilates-toned my ss has become.) -gg I wonder how successful the Bentley incentive is. It screams the same kind of ostentation uber alles* that was a major factor in the fall of the economy.

The outside of the house looks just a little bit busy - sort of Disney's Snow White's castle meets Spanish colonial & Taco Bell. There are arched windows, Square windows, and on the left side, a port hole in case the house needs to float. If Coco Channel were an architect, she would remove about half the stuff on that house.

I went to a party in a house like that last weekend. The owner even has a Bentley but it doesn't look like that one (probably a lower end Bentley). Just going in there I thought "wow I wouldn't want to live here". These people giving the party live there. First of all there is all this help in the house 100% of the time to keep it running. Second these are up in the hills out here which is coyote country. If you have a cat up there or maybe a small dog the coyotes will come and take it. I am an animal lover except for when it comes to coyotes which make me want to become a member of the NRA. Anyway this place had all this design work like something out of Architectural Digest. Not appealing at all as a home if you ask me. I'd rather have a nice house with an in town address and a cat.
