The house is tasteful (I think), but wait until picture #54.

Way cool home. I saw this on TV before, but I'm trying to rack my brain what program it was on. $4.5 mil is a lot of dough, but probably not really that much for a home of this magnitude.

That looks like some weird thing you’d see in Vegas! How about the motorcycle dude in slide 59?

I'm surprised at how small and uninteresting the kitchen is compared to the rest of the house.
And picture 34 - I am dying to know what the framed print is. And why they have a strip of photos like they are from a photobooth on their mirror.

Kinda cool if you wanted an old cottage type feel.

But that laundry room. They have a mangle. The only other person that I know that has a mangle is Martha Stewart.

That says hotel to me, not cottage And yes, 54 onwards is really weird Yes I can see hotel... but I thought each room of the hotel had its each one room cottage vibe...like each room could be rented as it's one room cottage separately...like a quaint bnb room.

I'm surprised at how small and uninteresting the kitchen is compared to the rest of the house. Are you maybe looking at the kitchen in either the pool house or guest house? As I think the kitchen in the main house is huge. Pictures 18 onwards.

Love some of the features such as the balcony over the kitchen. There is so much light everywhere with all those windows. The basement downstairs is kinda different, and would be wasted space to me.

Doesn't Barbra Steisand have a street in her basement?

The main house is too monochromatic inside for my taste. But I love all the space and light!
The basement is just weird.
Love the pool area, the pool house, and the guest house.

Loved the basement. I'd be willing to bet they got the idea from the Rick Hendricks car museum, it was the first thing I thought of when I saw the pictures.

I cannot imagine having a house that big. 12,000 sq ft? There are rooms I would never see from one year to the next!

I LOVE the downstairs.. that is soooo cool and fun!! Almost seems like upstairs is all prim and proper and go downstairs and be 'normal'. lol. Can you imagine being a kid and having a sleepover with the friend that lives there and not knowing about that downstairs?
It's all pretty though. A little on the formal side for me.. but give it to me, sure thing.

This house came up on my Twitter feed this morning and someone posted a link to a couple articles about the owners. Apparently they also collect WWII aircraft. Someone else on Twitter pointed out something I hadn't noticed--there's a fire pole in one of the hallways (photo 29). article about owners

The house looks nice but it's too big and not really my style. Yes, #54 looks like the basement turns into a movie lot. The "movies" listed on the theater billboard were interesting... Mary Poppins and The Exorcist.

A bit ornate for me (and waaaay too many floral prints) but lots of nice touches. That basement was pretty extra.

The basement area reminds me of the Seattle Children's museum. One area of the museum is a little street with various stores and the kids can roam around and go in and out of the stores. It is a fun place. Interesting about Barbra Streisand too!
My favorite house was the last one that was a stand alone house. I loved the look of the outside. None of the 3 are my style on the inside. The main house has just too much going on. I also would never design a kitchen like that. I think kitchens are one of the noisiest parts of the house and to have it open to the second story....no thanks.

I think the basement collection is pretty interesting. Especially if it was built to display some of their collections. Reading a little about the man’s story was interesting and sad. If I were the mother, there is no way I’d give up my child because the boyfriend didn’t want him. Although it looks like he landed in a very loving home with his father’s sister.
Life did not start out with such great promise, though. Blair was born in 1944 to a young English woman – two weeks after his American G.I. father was killed during the Normandy invasion. He was barely a toddler when his mother’s childhood sweetheart, freed from a German P.O.W. camp, came home. The British soldier wanted his old girlfriend, but not the son of a Yank.
“When I was 2, she got on a boat and brought me to America and gave me to my aunt, my father’s sister, Dorothy Lane Blair,” Blair says.
His new parents were a working-class Maryland couple who gave the youngster all of their love, their name and the necessities they could afford. He was able to go to college, the University of Maryland, and there he met his wife, Alice.
“When our first child was born, I didn’t have enough money for gas to get to the hospital,” he says.
