Incredible Bayfront Estate for Sale

:roll: ...enough house for four or more families....or maybe one family that doesn't get along all that well. I do wish you good luck on a sell. :wave:

Are you really serious? Maybe not your style, but why tacky? I think it is beautiful.... maybe not cottage style, but not tacky. Maybe you guys just don't like that it is so big. Is that it?

I'm wondering why the "Custom Builder" who built it for his personal retreat didn't like it.

:scratch:

$3,495,000 for the home. This property is not at all tacky either. Everything is very nicely done. I will have a large open house in about 4 weeks and everyone can come see for themselves.

Possibly it's a home builder that is always willing to make a buck. No economic meltdown problems with this one.

It just strikes me as odd that the copy reads "Completed in July '07" and then states "This home was built as a local custom home builder's personal retreat."

My first thought was the same as Dunelover--economic issues.
If that's not the case--and it's not spec built--it's a flip? :shock:

I do like the outdoor fireplace by the pool.

I don't like the large marble shower with the cheesy Home Depot showerheads--it should have enough large showerheads and side nozzles to make it look like a car wash.

The kitchen is a nightmare. The stove surrounded by what looks like the "entrance to Fred Flintstones' house" interferes with the flow of prep-to-cook areas...that tiny sink-sized island in the middle of the kitchen floor is unfunctional and pretty pathetic-looking.

Thanks Shelly, your negativity always gives me a good laugh. The kitchen was taken off of the cover of a major design magazine. The sink in the middle is a prep sink for veggies and so forth. There is a larger sink located on the main island. The stone work is very impressive and doesn't interfere with any of the preparation. I will have Kurt come over and do a tour when all of the artwork is in. I'm no photographer as you can see.

Josh,

I knew the small sink and island was the prep area :cool: (and that there appears the large sink is in front of the counter)--but that prep island area and the counter space is WAY too small for such a big house.

I'm assuming from your comments about the functionality of the kitchen--and the absence of snacks at your open houses'--you're not really much of a cook....am I right?

<It's difficult to tell from the photos, but if there is a swing-arm faucet over the stove to add water to cooking pots...I'll give the builder one Brownie Point.>
