Kicking off #FridayNightZillow:
Your own *PRIVATE ISLAND* you can *drive to* on your own gated causeway. It's nice, if you're into that sort of thing.
13BR, 12BAs, 14K sf, 3.5 acres, 8 fireplaces.
Stamford, Conn.
$7.995M. zillow.com/homedetails/14…
Nice lap pool. Nice views. Multiple houses. Plenty of parking. #FridayNightZillow
I like the colors here. Not a big columns guy. But that looks like a pretty sweet library. #FridayNightZillow
This isn't the gaudiest bathroom you'll see tonight, but it'll do. #FridayNightZillow
NEXT: An-over-the-top Sugarland, Texas megamansion w/INSANE eye candy. Wall of windows, I think a (dry) koi pond/waterfall running through living room w/bridge, cool kitchen, bedrooms you must see to believe.
17,500sf, 7BR, 9BA. $4.75M. #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/21…
BAM! This is a bedroom and a substitute for caffeine! Helping you stay awake because we've got a lot of homes to get through tonight! #FridayNightZillow
This is a Sink. #SinkZillow#FridayNightZillow No idea what those vaguely Oscars-like statues are. So much in this house confuses me.
I *really* do like this kitchen. Multiple fridges, serious workspace, cool hood, fun color. Some people are afraid of color. These people are not. The high-up CRT TV however has got to go. #FridayNightZillow
A bathroom with a glass wall to the outside is always a bold choice, I guess. Generally I don't think bathrooms should be this large unless you are planning to hold parties in there? #FridayNightZillow
Party time! Movie theater on top, bar/nightclub/wine room on bottom. #FridayNightZillow
Odd collection of buildings in Willard, Utah for $800K on #FridayNightZillow:
*Tiki Shaved Ice Shack - make $!
*3K+sf w/Hopi/Pueblo decor, multiple homes
*Zen garden/Chicken coop/Fruit trees/zoned for farm animals/fish pond/teepee/labyrinth. It's a lot... zillow.com/homedetails/68…
I think that's a Buddha, some rocks, and bottle art. I didn't know Utah got this weird? #FridayNightZillow
This is the master bedroom. I have questions. Anybody have answers? #FridayNightZillow
Was going to show a huge place once used as a skating rink by Lucille Ball for $299K but the listing has just been removed. Sorry. #FridayNightZillow
10-year-old daughter found an *AMAZING* movie theater/home combo in Oregon. 8,600 sf, 2BR, 10BA, 2 movie screens, Dolby, popcorn machine, legit awesome.
Only $1.2M!
We *must* get together and buy this for the FNZ properties ETF. #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/21…
I've kind of always dreamed of being able to step out of my house and immediately be at work. Commute: 0 minutes. Bonus: Sundeck. #FridayNightZillow
Sorry have to step away briefly to take a COVID test because my phone just sent me an alert.
Now have to wait 15 minutes for the results after I figured out the test.
Ever wanted your own Montana ranch? This one's a bit of a fixer upper, but you get *1,664* acres and, uh, this shack with skulls on it. Just $1.2M! #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/Wy…
Imagine quitting your city job with your city troubles and moving to paradise. I'd want some solar panels, stat. #FridayNightZillow
Kind of reminds me of the nice shop they built in Schitt's Creek. #FridayNightZillow
Next home is, uh, let's just say you might want to go to bed right now if you are scared easily. #FridayNightZillow
$399K for a 7K sf bunker originally built as a bomb shelter in Yucca, AZ. Catch: Non-working well. Catch2: 😱Vibes!!! Catch 3: A major fixer-upper.
Bonus: 17.7 acres. Airplane hangar! Train car turned into workshop! No grass to mow! #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/13…
Getting a Stephen King Dark Tower kind of feel on the exterior.... #FridayNightZillow
I think this is the scariest toilet paper holder I've ever seen. #FridayNightZillow
The, uh, bedroom could have been staged better. Also, Wouldn't mind, like a window or something in here. #FridayNightZillow
Could imagine filming like a Thunderdome fight scene in here. #FridayNightZillow
Ending tonight with an Alpaca farm and yarn shop + home in Michigan. A perfect place for somebody who loves Alpaca and yarn and Michigan. Maybe that's you? $885K #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/61…?
Hope you enjoyed this week's #FridayNightZillow and gave you at least something to smile at. As usual, most of the homes tonight were found by my sister-in-law and my wife. See y'all in the next one.
Important update thread on the long history of the #FridayNightZillow private island, which was featured in multiple interesting documentaries:
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…
