INSANE NEW STAR WARS home just dropped on Zillow:
15BRs, 19BAs, ~21K sf, whole house Laser Tag, 6 miles from Walt Disney World. $11.5M; rentals help pay the mortgage.
Epic #FridayNightZillow thread starts NOW: zillow.com/homedetails/11…
This brand new megamansion is designed, I think, to be a perfect vacation joint for a BIG family reunion. I don't see a Luke Skywalker, but there is a Vader, droids, and a Rey. Up to 16 kids sleep in fun bunk rooms. Hmm. CC: @HamillHimself. #FridayNightZillow
Baby yoda makes an appearance in what *I think* is the Naboo room. #FridayNightZillow
The Star Wars mansion also features the perfect laundry room. Which you might need if you have ~40 people staying here! #FridayNightZillow
#FridayNightZillow will return after I eat dinner. It is going to be truly epic.
I'm not really sure what that long corridor is with Vader at the end of it. Storage closets? Video game stations? #FridayNightZillow
Another fun Star Wars connection: Part of this Los Angeles property was the home of the producer of Star Wars? $2.495M "Own a piece of Hollywood history in an exclusive paradise setting!"
On "Elusive Drive" to boot. #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/83…
Must have been Gary Kurtz? Found this tribute blog post:
"Western White House" just dropped on Zillow!
*11BRs, 14BAs, 25K sf, $25M*
Looks sort of like the real thing, if the WH still had a sweet pool. California on #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/40…
"Redesigned in 1930 by Julia Morgan, California's first woman architect and the first woman admitted to the Beaux-Arts de Paris architecture program..."
She also designed the Hearst Castle?
I think this room was inspired by the Oval Office. #FridayNightZillow
Maine paradise in Kennebunkport!
Address is "34 Road to Misery" LOL
Just *$690K* buys you ~43 acres & sweet, sustainable, artistic off-grid home. LOVE THIS. ♥️♥️♥️♥️❤️ #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/34…
Sort of like if somebody moved to Endor from Tatooine and brought their architecture with them. #FridayNightZillow
$65K buys you a cute, real, renovated, nice-looking house in Jamestown, NY.
If you aren't mega-mansioned out, This ~$11M palace-like home in New Jersey awaits. Previously listed for ~$25M. Taxes are close to *$20K a month* (SALT cap ouchietown!). I like this kitchen as I'm a sucker for light-colored wood. #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/8-…
I don't understand why this listing is 100 MILLION DOLLARS. 4 acres. California coastline. Small house.
Up next: VERMONT CASTLE. Which kicks the Takoma Park Castle's but in every way. #FridayNightZillow
TWO WORDS: VERMONT CASTLE.
Sort of a faux castle, but probably my favorite dream home of the week. $2.6M, solar, stunning views, beautiful interior, library of the gods. #FridayNightZIllow zillow.com/homedetails/15…
$50M buys the Penthouse at this cray cray Miami tower. A total no from me on account of I would have nausea and vertigo from my fear of heights. But maybe it's your thing?
7BRs, 14BAs, >19K sf
Comes with an Aston Martin for some reason. #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/30…
This Georgia mansion really is excess to the 9th degree. Not my style AT ALL. Maybe though you are looking for this sort of thing, which could double as a wedding venue for guys who want to putt on the putting green after. #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/53…
A classic for #FridayNightZillow: A huge home that doubles as an airplane hangar. 2BRs, 5BAs, 7K+sf!
There's a dividing line between the ~$2M-6M @mcmansionhell homes & the $30M+ estates that feel like you are living in a museum. This is such a house. $29.995M. It's a treat and worth your click. California #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/25…
You know you have money when your ceilings look like this. #FridayNightZillow
Could have been carved from a European estate. Except doesn't have that faded musty look European palaces sometimes do. #FridayNightZillow
You could film an American version of Downton here. Even my already-singed retinas perk up clicking through this place. #FridayNightZillow
Bathroom art is a nice touch. Really, nicer than most museums. Amazing house. But again, it better be for $30M! #FridayNightZillow
Winding down #FridayNightZillow: Only a few homes more. You won't want to miss them...
Winfield Hall / The Woolworth Estate in Glen Cove, New York was damaged by fire in 2015, but clearly still is spectacular. And it's on #FridayNightZillow
Staircase alone reportedly cost $2M, about a century ago.
Getting sleepy. So going to wrap this up with one, last megamansion. So insane it is hard to wrap my head around. #FridayNightZillow
This last home has a lap pool of the gods.
Final home on this edition of #FridayNightZillow is an epic, modern Colorado ranch complex on 250 acres. If I had $42M, I'd seriously consider it. Like nothing I've ever seen. Let's take the tour, shall we? #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/24…
Kitchen is a sweet custom job. Whirlpool atop a stone tower. Just like you dreamed up. And a bar out of a movie. #FridayNightZillow
All the toys: Lap pool of the gods. Indoor turf thing. Jail cell. #FridayNightZillow
Does your megamansion have its own snowplow and fleet of snowmobiles? Didn't think so! #FridayNightZillow
Ok, that's it. Let me know which homes you loved, hated, or loved to hate; otherwise, see you in the next one! #FridayNightZillow
BTW, the Casteel Creek estate lists like 70K square feet of space, 18BRs, 32BAs. It’s one of the largest homes available on Zillow. Didn’t quite do it justice because I got zonked. Would have been the lede house but Star Wars intervened.
Addendum: I think the Star Wars house is in the same neighborhood as this one from last week. I think it must be a new reunion rental paradise, each mansion with their own themes? This one has a casino and princess rooms:
This week's #FridayNightZillow kicks off with an over-the-top, "new construction" Florida mega-mansion for Ferrari aficionados. It's properly insane, and yet hangs together well. $55 million on "Billionaire's Row" in Delray Beach. Feature a private soccer field, several party showers, the most luxurious bar I've ever seen, and an assortment of other eye candy. So follow along and tell your friends... | Crossposting on BlueSky. If you had 300 years of a Senate salary, you still couldn't afford it
So #FridayNightZillow is back with a BANG! This is the Bonkers McBonkerspants Mansion of the Year! $25M. BOCA. Warning: You'll need to ice your retinas. 209 pics of overstuffed insanity! Crossposting on BlueSky and Threads. buff.ly/3OcGdfc?https:…
Imagine walking in and the first thing you see is this slide and murals everywhere. This house is *relentless.* #FridayNightZillow
If you are spending $25M you don't want one of those cookie-cutter black and white dining rooms in all the Potomac McMansions. Here, you get dragons and looks like Chihuly? #FridayNightZillow
"One of the most beautiful Earthships ever built"
Welcome to #FridayNightZillow. $725K. New Mexico. Runs on rainwater and solar panels. Grow your food in your own greenhouse. Enjoy! zillow.com/homedetails/19…
Thanks to @MolotovFlicker for sending this one in
This house is 6K sf in DC, and has a party shower. #FridayNightZillow. I thought it would be priced higher. <$3M. Not sure about the curb appeal. What say you? zillow.com/homedetails/57…
Two years ago, Congress considered banning 18-20 year-olds from buying AR-15s and other semi-automatic rifles after the Uvalde massacre, and some Republicans were briefly open to doing so but ultimately blocked including a ban in the bipartisan gun bill signed by Biden.
Then-Florida Governor Rick Scott signed a law raising the age to buy guns in his state to 21 after the Parkland massacre, but then opposed doing the same for the nation as a US Senator. He told reporters it was easier to do it at the state level.
McConnell actually enacted a law one day to raise the age to buy cigarettes to 21. But he didn't want to talk two years ago about a proposal to raise the age for buying rifles.
Soaring cost estimates for extending Trump tax cuts set up a crucial 2025 fight:
*CBO puts tab at $4.6 Trillion over next decade
*Fight comes with US debt far higher than 2017, interest costs ballooning & Social Security cliff looming...
w/@chrisjcondon bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
*Trump wants more tax cuts, along with massive new tariffs — aka a tax on imports — that would raise consumer prices but offset at least some of the cost.
*Biden wants to extend breaks <$400K a year paired with higher taxes on corporations and the wealthy.
If past is prologue, Congress will again play Santa Claus. With a few exceptions, Congress has repeatedly increased spending and cut taxes since 2001.
Tonight's #FridayNightZillow is kicking off with a *House of the Year* contender. It's amazeballs! We just need to crowdfund $2.795M. We get 9,825 square feet of sheer madness on 36 acres in gorgeous Plymouth, Minnesota! I love it!!! INSANE sinks, WEIRD art, WILD ceilings, AMAZING kitchen, views, colors galore, a pond, a party shower and much, MUCH more. Several of you sent me this gem! 🧵 zillow.com/homedetails/51…
