I think the columns are formed around the glass which leaves that ugly gap. That shit's tacky as hell. I hope it doesn't become a trend.

10 years ago Detroit was so cheap that a Canuck snapped up one of those guilded age mansions for under 500k.
Oh and he built a bike factory, Detroit Bikes

Plop this down in Beverly Hills and move that decimal point another spot over ($32.6 million) and it'll fit right in!

This is the (soon to be former) house of Tom Girardi, the skeezy attorney who is being accused of stealing millions from his clients class action settlements. His wife is/was one of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and the house has been featured prominently on the show.

[dimondpark]

Finally, I find a house in the upper elevations that is suitable for a bigger family, for entertaining(a large catering kitchen in the lower level), without feeling crammed or as if we're teetering over a cliff, it even has a flat area in the backyard. Oh, and this is about 1,300 ft above the bay.

5947 Grizzly Peak Blvd

Beautiful property. It's on a private gated street that is a dead end. IMO, if I'm going to pay $5.5 million for a house, I'd rather it be set in a neighborhood instead of a dead end spur off of an arterial road.

[dimondpark]

That first pic looks like Oakland ...how cool.

[Crawford]

Yuck. That home is basically suburban McMansion sprawl layout/design/decor. It could be in any affluent newer suburb. It looks like the typical newer homes in Birmingham, MI, or the further out coastal CT suburbs, like Fairfield and Madison.

But I guess many want a suburban home in a more urban setting.

Speaking of new construction, check out Shia LaBeouf's new Pasadena home, built in 2019 but he bought it in 2020.

From velvetropes.com:

4 bedrooms • 5 bathrooms • 4137 sq/ft
Price: 5.5M (sold in 2020)
Valued: 5.5M

Edit: Actually according to Zillow, it's worth about $6.607 million right now.

It's near Caltech; I know the address, and you can look it up, but I won't disclose it. I've driven by the house, it's in a very nice neighborhood. Meryl Streep and Kristen Wiig also have nice homes in Pasadena (mid-Century ones); I've never seen them around town, though, so maybe they just own the properties and don't actually live here. I think Oscar de la Hoya still lives in Pasadena, I used to see him around Old Town Pasadena, I've even seen him inside Burke Williams.

This literally looks like a house youd find in Piedmont. I wonder if your area and my area were developed around the same time?
