Most Expensive Homes in Your Neighborhood

[Simfan34]

There's this mansion in my town, whose estate was most regrettably carved up to form my subdivision, that was listed for $25 million, but only managed $8.8 million. Probably because it has a whopping 7 acres.

Looks a bit like a high school.

Well it's fugly, regardless of what it looks like.

Philistine.

No, someone with taste, who doesn't confuse size and embellishment with quality.

Obviously this is not true. Well, apparently, I have been called to defend the honour of my local big old house!

It's Jacobean! Don't even dare going about making criticisms if you don't know architectural history!

God, modernists are the worst. Modernism is really just terrible to begin with, and it's not surprising that its devotees aren't any better.

Trolling again?

Nah, watching TV while in the bath sounds pretty relaxing and enjoyable.

Punishable by guillotine?

Also, television is déclassé. What is there to watch besides PBS and MSNBC? (Yes, I only watch MSNBC. And Fareed Zakaria.)

Just for the heck of it. The most expensive home currently for sale in the city of Memphis. About 3 miles from me. The realty company marketing it describes it as "the height of understated sophistication" which I think is hysterical and deserves a spot in a deluge.

Eh, I don't think it's so bad. The materials look like very high quality. And it's not like those hideous homes that are just one giant mass, it's sprawling, which is very much in taste. It looks like the combined garage/keeper's house to a larger great house on some 2000-acre estate.
