Hey Guys. I just wanted to say sorry for all of the website design problems and the lack of posting. I know that most of you hated the other templates. Well, I decided to make the move to WordPress!! The theme you see now is only temporary (for 3 days or so). I hired a professional web designer who is making a new WordPress theme for me! Hopefully it will be awesome!!! Thanks for all of your support. I can’t wait for the new design!!

This extraordinary manor home can be yours for just $2,499,900! The 5 bedroom, 7 bathroom home is located at 1216 Waterstone Blvd in affluent Franklin, TN. It is situated in the guard gated community of LaurelBrooke. The 11,158 square foot mansion contains a dramatic foyer with dual staircases, a formal living room, a formal dining room with fireplace, an elevator, a great room with grand fireplace, a gourmet kitchen with white marble floors and counter tops, a library, a home theater, a gym, a 1,000 sq.ft bonus room, and a swimming pool with spa. Seriously, it can’t any better than this! This home is top of the line and is simply gorgeous! The asking price is exceptionally reasonable. Try finding something like this in Greenwich, CT. It would be 6 times more expensive!!

I think that both terms, mansion and mega-mansion, are always used too lightly. For example, the title of this news story is “Mega-Mansions suffer dramatic price declines.” When I read the title, I was excited to read the rest of the story. Then I got to the 2nd paragraph and read the number 9,700, yes 9,700. What? This is misleading. I can remember dozens of articles like these where the title contains the word mansion or mega-mansion and the story is about homes that are not even close to that. A 9,700 square foot home is not a mega-mansion, by no means. It is merely a mansion or even a large home by some people’s standards. Like I said in a recent post, a mansion is anywhere from 8,000 to 15,000 square feet. So, this home would be considered a mansion. A mega-mansion to me would be 20,000 square feet and up. Well, I guess the author wanted to spark readers’ interest by including the word “mega” in the title. Still, it gets me annoyed. What about you?

My friend Jeff, who lives in Connecticut, took pictures of Arnold Chase’s house which is located on Avon Mountain. The home, as you can see, is completed. The large tower you see in the second picture is a security camera! Now, all we have to do is wait for Bird’s Eye View in Bing maps to update so that we can see it for ourselves.
