...yeah, my inner twelve-year-old would rock this house so hard: blockbuster party friday night, cartoons saturday morning, bike ride to the candy store then GI joes in the backyard saturday afternoon, SNICK followed by staying up way too late playing D+D saturday night, more D+D sunday morning, then jetski rides and a hot dog cookout before wrapping up the weekend with amazing stories, the young indiana jones chronicles, star trek, and finally falling asleep in my bunk bed...
The tension between exquisite craftsmenship, gaudy, and hoarding is amazing. Every single wall is lined with things, nothing really flows together, and it's super obvious that the people who built this place, along with a lot of the furniture, were very skilled.
In all those million dollar home shows rich people just hop from one property to another without ever needing movers as those houses are all furnished already.
That “beautiful location” will probably be under water in a few years. Not to mention the shitty government in Florida you would have to put up with if you lived there.
Honestly, if you've got enough money for this place then the government anywhere probably doesn't bother you. Hell, you may even be able to dodge a lot of their taxes. If you need access to anything, you just take a flight somewhere else, and take your yacht there. It's only the proletariat that has to deal with the consequences of authoritarian government.
There is a whole ass dinnig table between the stove and the sink. And the cables mess in the pheasant room ? So much space and yet a dual purpose bathroom and kitchen room ? The general arragement feels very... caravan ? vacation rental ? also some highly impractical stuff in there.
However, I am JEALOUS of the storage space. Man, what do you need all of that for ? Also, there seems to be a swan bidet, which is very fun and I genuenely dig the idea of a frog themed bathroom (maybe not this exact one). I can't bring myself to hate the giraffe chair, it's very fun. Actually, a fair amount of the decor is fine in isolation, some the carved doors look really nice ! The quantity however, it's a lot.
Being a Finn I've seen a fair few saunas. The layout is weird, but doesn't look very bad to me. Pretty close to what you'd expect from a sauna in a house. Of course, with all the money that went into that house and the space available, they could have done a lot better. It's not fancy in the slightest, unlike the other ones you linked. But it's recognizable as a basic sauna, which is not a given for American saunas.
