"Buy" a 4.2 millionish house: find one you like and post

[sonrisa]

The thread below got me thinking. How would you spend your $4ish million? (Let's not worry about currency conversion unless that really matters to you).

[cereal K]

"buy" one near the place we currently live, or just anywhere?

[sonrisa]

We were in this neighborhood the other day and it is both warm and has views, so this one:

(View houses in that town usually are windy and cooler).

Anywhere!  That is the fun. I was lazy.

I've always loved this house. It was a block away from our first place we owned. Such a neat house! It's been on the market forever. I keep waiting for it to be in our price range

or this one! you know, to be bi-coastal! it's a bit out of budget, but really, what's $0.6 mill between friends?!

This is the best of three in this price range within 25 miles of my current zip code. It's a little too ornately decorated for me but the outdoor space and the rolling ladder and shelves are a dream library situation.

Dream home would be in Maui. There are way too many to choose from.

$3.95m don't love the house but the land is killer

[open24hours]

With that much money, I'd buy my own private island.

We used to live in PDR. I go by that house all the time!
It's by favorite beach spot. 

For two summers I had a job that housed us at Loyola Marymount. Loved the whole area.

This is ever so slightly above 4.2M:

A house on the beach in Cape May, NJ. I'm too lazy to look up the link but I'm thinking if the one on the corner of Beach and Pittsburgh if anyone knows the area. 

[papie]

I love this one! It isn't too far from me, maybe 10-15 minute drive? I would love to live on the lake.

Wow, small world.  I'm a LMU grad, and I have a summer gig there coordinating major events on campus. 
We love it here!

If it wasn't for my family and the husband and kid thing I'd move there in a heartbeat. YGPM

Screw the suburbs! I want this condo instead.

I´m not a huge fan of big houses, so I´d rather take lavish vacations with 4. 2 million bucks to spend, but here is a great one in Costa Rica:

[WOT?*]

If we're sticking by where we live kooshball posted one of the ones I liked (I've been looking at weekend places but DH is adamant against Whidbey for a variety of reasons) but our budget is waaaaay less than $4mil. So, with money left over I'll take this in Edmonds (though there are a few on Mercer I like as well but this has sunset Sound views)

Front entry/port cochere

Master bedroom

Shoot, I give up. The grounds are gorgeous, the views spectacular, the house is beautiful...

I'll play.  It's in British pounds but I think it's close-ish.  www.foxtons.co.uk/search?property_id=849090&radius=1&search_form=tube&search_type=SS&sold=1&submit_type=search&transport_line=Overground&transport_location=Hampstead%20Heath

This kitchen could be so nice.  You know, if the homeowners cleaned it before the picture.  And maybe fixed the wall behind the range.

Yeah,  I wasn't being too picky about the house.  I like the exterior and the location.
