$23 MILLION DOLLAR MALIBU OCEAN VIEW - SEE THIS HOUSE

Ocean views...never really thought of them much...but this weekend I drove with TE and his son EE down to Palos Verdes and we saw some spectacular Pacific Ocean views.  Breathtaking really.

So what is an ocean view worth...?

For 6 bedrooms, 8.5 baths in 7,624 square feet of ocean front home right in Malibu...does $23,750,000 sound about right?  This self proclaimed "European style villa" was built in 1998.  It is located on Point Dume and features panoramic ocean views on 1.29 acres of land.  The home is listed by Sotheby's.

A gourmet kitchen, imported French limestone in some of the rooms, hardwood floors in others, a gourmet kitchen, a master suite has its own private balcony and a pool.

This is probably what it looks like from this water front mansion today as it is classically wonderful weather in Southern California on this second day of the new year.

So would you take it or leave it? Take a tour...

Let's see...if I had $23.75 million to spare...or if someone wanted to gift it to me...I would take it!

Happy Thursday!  Happy New Year!

RESTORED $50 MILLION DOLLAR MANSION - SEE THIS HOUSE

22,000 square feet, 11 bedrooms and so much more.  This home is called Villa Maria and it is located in Water Mill, NY.  The home is currently listed for $49.5 million dollars by Sotheby's International Realty.

The home was built as a private residence back in 1887.  After several different uses including a convent and a spirituality center, but then in 2005 was restored by 9 West founder Vincent Camuto and his wife Louise.

The home is an eclectic mix of architectural styles including incorporating elements of Beaux-Arts, Neoclassical and Colonial Revival.


Now this historic waterfront gem is on the market again for just under $50 million!

I would be very happy at Villa Maria.  I would even take up tennis since the private court is so convenient.  Right?  What do you think of this luxurious home?  Would you take it or leave it if you had $50 million to spare?

Happy Tuesday!

TILE FILE: BYE BYE RUGS, HELLO MOSAICS!

A Barcelona home with a restored mosaic tile floor! Just lovely in my view. The classic mosaic designs mean there is no need for anything extra on these floors in this Spanish home...no rugs, carpets or anything else. The decor and furnishings in these rooms has to stay simple because of the detailed tiled floor. This works for me...a bit of pattern and then the rest kept uber simple. Yes!

This TILE FILE idea would require one thing for me...heated floors!

What do you think of these mosaic floors in this home in Spain? Love or don't love?  Want to hear whether this works for you!

Happy day after Thanksgiving by the way...or as we say here in the U.S., Happy Black Friday (called Black Friday because on this day after Thanksgiving the hope is there is enough pre-Christmas shopping going on that it puts retailers "in the black" with profits being recorded instead of lossess...who knew...I didn't...I had to look this up...)!

Happy Friday!

SEE THIS HOUSE: INSIDE A $27 MILLION GRAND UPPER EAST SIDE NEW YORK CITY ESTATE!

Okay! Wow. $27 million. 27 million dollars!!! That's right.

Built back in 1903, this Neo Federal style classic home in the 70's on the upper east side boasts 10,000 square feet of interior space. Lots and lots of rooms and amenities too...a proper traditional house in the city with 11’ ceilings, 9 bedrooms, 9 baths, 3 powder rooms, a staff room, 8 fireplaces, 3 terraces, an elevator, an elegant garden, a graceful oval winding staircase, a Louis XV drawing room, Georgian library, 18th century fireplace mantels, and a 38’ kitchen with solarium. Whoa! What a list!!!!

Meanwhile, just for fun, let's juxtapose this NYC city mansion's list of features and highlights and descriptors with the list of amenities for my house. Here's my home's hypothetical list of features: a tiny house in the Hollywood Hills hills, with no proper backyard, a roof, someplace to sleep inside, a tiny kitchen, a deck, and a few rooms...the end. Needless to say, one of these homes is not like the other...right?

Anyhoooo...back to fantasy land...did I mention that this home is for sale? The price tag for this historic mansion is a mere $27 million. You have to love the real estate market in NYC!

So take a look and enjoy!



















I actually like the grandeur of this one. I would change the pink stairwell to another more neutral color (light grey or white) and would definitely change up the furnishings of course...but the house itself is quite spectacular.

What do you think dear readers?

Happy Friday!
