A Millionaire’s Home

This stunning home goes for about $1.6 million in Memphis, Tennessee. The real estate agent describes the 7,000 square foot home this way:

Truly like something from the pages of Veranda! Beautiful windows and tall ceilings flood the rooms with light. Entering the foyer, your eye is drawn to the gorgeous Gunite pool with multiple fountains and Pennslvania blue stone terraces and cabana. Gourmet kitchen with Wolf 6-burner cooktop, Subzero fridge, 2 walk-in pantries and more. Sumptuous master suite with his & her luxury baths. 4 or 5 more bedrooms and media room upstairs. Expansive living area and the finest of finishes. Breathtaking.

And it is breathtaking. More about the listing here.

Of course, Toronto also offers similar value for the money. Listing for just under $1.7 million is this breathtaking semi-detached mansion on a beautiful street adjacent to the stunning Elephoto establishment. The property, 842 King Street West, is on an expansive 20 foot by 98 foot lot. Perfect for walking as it lacks a driveway. And, having been built in 1880, it certainly offers many opportunities to spend even more money on renovations and upgrades. There has been some dramatic stretching of the photography of the listing below. It makes the semi-detached property appear a lot wider than 19 feet which, for $1.7 million, is likely not a bad idea.

If I had to choose between the two homes, the semi in Toronto is tough to beat for the price. And I can also just run next door when I need to make a photobook!
