Under 2 million for a 4000 sq ft place in the hills with a guest house?
It must be in terrible condition.
I can’t buy a place in my Canadian suburb for under $500,000 and the really nice places in town are going for millions.

I’m guessing Amateur Saxaphonist isn’t their first title, just the most relevant to the listing. There are plenty of stock brokers, hedge fund managers and dentists out there who still wistfully wonder what life would be like had they pursued their saxophone career…
The house itself was…less tacky than I was expecting? 8/10 would inhabit and enjoy thoroughly.

Oh, man! If I had known about this when I was living in El Cerrito, I’d have done a drive-by photo shoot!

Hard to form an opinion on this until I see what’s under the spit valve.
Except for the visible toilet from the dining room and the mix of both gold and silver in the kitchen. Those two, I do have an opinion on.

I guess that the architect had to get creative when it came to building two ICBM silos in to a house.

Strange they couldn’t be bothered to find an appropriate soundtrack featuring, I dunno … some saxophone music.
