Wow. Pretty ridiculous house – like the structure/layout, but the furniture in there does not look comfortable at all! I think I have a different viewpoint of what looks “good” than all these rich rich people. Maybe that’s why I’m not rich.

Wow, I wonder what it is like to be a little kid in that house. Seems like there are a lot of “Don’t touch a single effing thing” rooms there. And it is pretty sweet that the “staff” gets their own kitchen! How large of a staff would a place like that have anyway?

The staff quarters look nicer than my house…

I love the bones but the decor makes me gag.

Who (or what) owns this house anyway and who (or what) would buy it?

You’d have to be a health insurance industry exec to own a house like this.

This is obviously an old person/couples house. No paint? Wall paper in the guest bath could have never been seen as stylish, at least since the dawn of wallpaper. Gorgeous structure though…

But, SWEET JEEBUS, check out the neighbors property on the right and left (via birds eye view). They’d have to get a restraining order to keep me from constantly snooping on their property!

This house is bananas, but the furniture makes me want to have a bonfire.

Looks like Marie Antoinette voimited all over the inside if it.

i was going to say… anyone else have a problem with allll that checkered tiling?!
a little can be fun and/or tasteful, but they’ve used it in a way that induces nausea, and just plain looks cheap.

Meh. Not my style. But at such a bargain price, maybe I’ll buy it and turn it into condos.

ah, but i think this is for someone who had $26 million to spend, but settles for a $10.75M home, and pockets the rest…

It should have been extreme opulence edition.

wow, stunning house. i could definitely work with most of that furniture, especially the commodes/dressers/chest of drawers, but all of those white walls drive me crazy!

The age of greed is not over in the nation’s cap. Greed is good:)

looks like his primary residence is behind this hedge in palm beach

Ok, all you haters are ridiculous. This place is grade AAA, perfect in every detail. Do you have ANY idea how much time and effort (we won’t even mention money) it takes to furnish a place in that style, with that level of detail? I’ve been involved in a few high-end decor overhauls of luxury properties, and I can tell you it’s YEARS. Heck, getting that La Cornue stove imported probably took six months. And they may have had to fly an official La Cornue installer in. It may not be to your taste, but you have to admire the effort!

Those floors, those moldings, the french doors throughout… I can hardly imagine anything pornier.

Cheap cabinets in the staff kitchen! I’m going to pass.

I like most of the furniture, but not those ugly chairs in the kitchen. I don’t see this furniture as show-house furniture or don’t-let-the-kids-in furniture. Antiques are regular furniture, just older.

I would update the window dressings and add some color to the walls. Nothing I hate more than plan white walls.

I can’t believe they are asking $10,750,000 for that dump. I wouldn’t go a penny over $10M. And they’d have to pay my closing costs.

Lots of eat the rich sentiment out there. I must say that I truly hate that style of furnishing. I am a mid-century modern kind of guy. But there is no doubt that it is an AMAZING place. That marble tub in the bathroom alone is worth the price of admission. I’d love to get the opportunity to do it up in a more contemporary style with some color and art on the walls.

I love this house – all of it. I could day dream all day about the parties and fundraisers I’d throw, and none of my friends would ever need to search for a wedding venue ever again.

If I’m going to find something to complain about it would be that I would like the pool to be a bit bigger, and have a patio surrounding it b/c I can’t stand wet grass on my feet. Also, a tennis court would be nice.

What is amazing is that neighborhood is full of houses like that. I run through there when I want a good hill work out. Its absolutely amazing. The guest/kid bathrooms need some work but if you can afford this flipping a bathroom every year or so is no big woop.
I really want to see the garage – if the Maybach can’t fit next to the Aston Martin and Jeep Wagoner then I’ll have to pass.
Fundraisers? How about a wicked “Clue” party?

@WDC, we have a deal!

@Andy(2) A Clue party sounds fantastic. I’m also thinking a masquerade party. I hate costumes, but I’d wear a sweet Marie Antoinette get-up to host!

I am appalled by the remarks on the decor.
It seems you people only like what you know.
What you don’t know is that this is the way a house like this is supposed to look if you are of a certain class and from a certain time. Time is the issue here. I am much older than the average brat commenting on this site and have been exposed to interiors like this from time to time in New York, where I am from. However, not so much in the last 50 years.
I used to think that black and white checkered floors were to die for.
Don’t you know, everything old is new again?

Reading these comments has been entertaining, given that this is my boss’ house.

Turn it into a museum, like Hillwood.
