A Tiffany Chandelier instead of the Waterford. I have a Swarovski that looks very similar to the one over the dining table but I am looking everyday for a Tiffany legacy piece I can afford to replace it. This is an absolutely stunning home.

You are a rapper? You got this.

Tim Ward Hate to sound like a cliche but, they do not make them like this anymore.

I suppose your home will be like the perfect mate: You'll know it when you find it. I live in the desert, and I'm sick of the same brown stucco football-field-size McMansions with the same infinity pools and the same wrought iron and marble. Almost everything here is new, and there is nothing more crass than "Old World elegance" with a faux patina. Thank God I'm poor and don't have to live in one of those things! You seem to have my tastes, though: greenery, fountains, marble, with a peaceful, timeless quality. Perhaps you could pick up an old aristocracy manor in the Irish countryside for song? Great country - beautiful and quite civilized, though a bit damp. Fingers crossed, maybe you'll find something in Florida, though.

***** It seems that Phoenix shares many of the same boom town problems. As it grew, it morphed from a poorly planned place where any business could throw up any crappy piece of architecture with the city's permission to a sprawling city full of brown cookie-cutter cardboard homes, box stores and massive parking lots. If a buck was to be made off of ugliness, to hell with aesthetics. Only the large developers wons. However, there is in north central Phoenix a beautiful green neighborhood full of large homes of all different styles set on lush lots. Really a fascinating area. An English Tudor will be followed by a French Country followed by an American Colonial, followed by a mid-Century Modern, followed by a Spanish Colonial. And they are all beautiful and, miraculously, compatible. But the rest of Phoenix is the victim of years of developer and political freewheeling. Yup, that Georgia home is nice -- but is anything worth living in Georgia for? I don't think so -- but maybe I'm just ignorant.

***** I loved what you were saying about lights. I'll keep this note short, but I think that your best bet might be to show the video to an architect. And, if it is too expensive to build in Florida as is, you could always have him keep shrinking the plans until it is an acceptable price. After all, it would probably still be pretty big, it would be in your price range, and it would be WHERE you want it to be. Good luck!

***** I actually just wrote you a long message that disappeared - so this one will be short! :) I wish you luck! You'll find something that will both save you some taxes and be a lot of fun. You seem very nice, and I hope that something fun comes your way!

In Georgia it would be the COOLING bill. It hits a 100 in the month of August. I lived in Marietta, not far from Alpharetta. Beautiful area. Beautiful state.

It was up for sale a few years back for 7.5M. It ended up selling a little under 3M.

@@ewalker1057: All that for 3 million? Really? I'd guess at least 50 million in southern California.

i think and im sure just someone special melitary or politics or superstars
