Barbie's dream house beats this "fob gangsta" abode. This structure just reeks too much money and too little education. I wouldn't be surprised if in 25 years these Home Depot showcases end up being cut up into multi family homes. Gorgeous?! Barbie’s dream house beats this “fob gangsta” abode.

You would expect a $3MM home to avoid the typical garage-loaded design. Many of these McMansions are targetted to the cash-loaded buyer who can't tell the difference between an 8 and 10 foot ceiling, let alone arched ports and proper landscaping (or lack of). All they see is 8,000sf of living space, a house larger than the neighbor's and "luxury" design elements that are commonly used in new tract homes throughout Orange County.

It's just ugly in my opinion. I don't know what everyone sees in it, but it's not unique, it looks like a gingerbread home, and it has no character. If you stare at the picture for a minute you can see the home is just a miss-mash of stuff in the front. It looks like it was designed by a 5 year old as an architect. It even has the garage in the front near the front door! Why not an carport arch leading to a garage in the bad or better side load? For 3 million they should have hired a better architect.

This house is awesome, but it is telling that it is having some struggles selling. Maybe a person that could afford this house, doesn't want to get into a lot of debt in a deflationary environment... So question, if you have a asset deflationary issue occurring why you have a commodity inflationary issue occurring, is debt a bad or good things wow… just read another Itulip.com article… scary stuff…
