Yes
 
It's a gorgeous location and view but perhaps just a teensy bit vulgar and overblown!

Anyway, at that price, don't the two video tarts come with it? :thinking: When you get bored with them in the hot tub, can't they help you with the housework? :D
 
Think i'd go for something a bit more exclusive and posher!
 
Housework??? Doesn't compute. What is it?
 
I want to hate it but there are a few cool features. The sweetie wall is cool but i'd have 10p mixup style sweets rather than jelly belly, the front door and the car garage.

It's all a bit too ott though.
 
Doesn't it make you sick. I see a lot of nice houses when I'm working, well a lot bigger than mine anyway. Yes I get very jealous but it also inspires me to work harder (I'm self employed).
 
The view from that reminds me of the one Mel Gibson wrecked in Lethel weapon 2

Just remind yourself that the people who live in them probably aren't as happy and contented as you might be!

Apart from the animal print fabrics, it was going quite well in terms of being quite clean and tasteful until it reached the 'garage' about half way through - at which point the taste levels dropped into horror and never improved. The main part of the house and even the pool, I feel I should hate it, but don't, it has been well designed and put together - animal print fabrics can be quickly got rid of. It's all the posey car displays, guns and gym that are simply not my thing at all.
 
Give me a really old cottage with nooks and crannies, lots of book cases and real fires and day :D

Edwardian or Georgian for me, I love the idea of the proper cutesy cottage, but its almost the polar opposite having the same effect - all that bloody housework :lol: Mind you, if its more spacious with no low ceilings and only some beams showing, that would actually be my dream home, proper inglenook, etc.

Edwardian and Georgian houses are lovely.. To be fair I love most older houses.
If I could afford either I would probably get a cleaner or at least someone on to do deep clean ever so often :D
I think you could get away with the odd bit of homely dirt in an older house whereas something like that above I'd be too scared to touch anything and the kids would need to be caged :D :D

My (now late) parents bought this place in the early 1980's and restored it living in it for the rest of their lives. They loved it but I wasn't too keen, lots of work and forever banging my head. Built in 1588!

Yes, exactly that, love it, but even though I am short, low ceilings do make me feel claustrophobic after a few hours, never mind a lifetime. However, we are looking at houses atm and there are plenty out there that manage to be country cottage pretty whilst still being roomy and maintaining plenty of what estate agents refer to as 'period charm' so anything from about 1750 to 1920 may yet feature in our lives :lol:
 
8 bedrooms, 15 bathrooms...
 
Too clinical and cold, pool too small, no garden as such, and a very poor gym, plus Veyron's are fugly.
 
The standard of the interior and exterior is very high and the city view is spectacular but it is so soulless.

I find 3 things wrong with that place,
and that is the 3 zero's at the end of the price tag.
But if that was rectified, it would be OK for the price :D
 
Just too big...too flash and too "look how much money I have" for my taste.
It's a very large box with a view.
