I'm assuming there will be some kind of snacks with a $3.5M asking price--at least some Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill and aerosol cheese on saltines....OH...and balloons!! :clap: Lots and lots of balloons!!

:funn:

Sliding glass window behind which Shelly's snack kitchen is hidden. Nothing smacks of the 'good life' more than finger foods being fed to you while you soak in your Emperor Destin Augustus bathtub.:lol:

Vinyl seawall!!! That alone is worth $50K, so I'm told. :roll:

I bet that was one of the first things to go in, wonder if anyone saw "yellow"?!!!:yikes:

Thanks Shelly, your negativity always gives me a good laugh. The kitchen was taken off of the cover of a major design magazine. The sink in the middle is a prep sink for veggies and so forth. There is a larger sink located on the main island. The stone work is very impressive and doesn't interfere with any of the preparation. I will have Kurt come over and do a tour when all of the artwork is in. I'm no photographer as you can see.

The house is beautiful, seems sometimes that those that criticize often don?t actually have the money to buy it.

It may be a bit of overkill for my simple taste, but if someone wants to buy it for me, and pay the insurance and powerbill, I'll take it!

that is my favorite part SJ! I can just see curling up on that sofa... in the evening with a good book in the fall... when it is getting cooler...with a big roaring fire and a nice soft blanket. Nice.
