Pragmatically, that little stretch hasn't been much of a beach for a long while and remains an liability. Mother nature can be violent. She's not the only one with a rocky shore either. Will the surfers do a bake sale when her bluff falls into stormy seas? I didn't think so.<br /><br />But on the emotional side, I'd be the biggest whiner out there if that gurl invaded my neighborhood, so I do feel your pain. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-89322840206615946732014-04-22T11:38:44.653-07:002014-04-22T11:38:44.653-07:00Anon. 12:25 -- I'm not sure what erosion you&#...Anon. 12:25 -- I'm not sure what erosion you're referring to on East Beach in Watch Hill. Misquamicut suffered a lot from Sandy, but I have been to East Beach numerous times since the hurricane and haven't noticed any significant difference, though perhaps that's due to remediation efforts. In any event, the fact that the coastline is constantly changing is something those of us who live on it must always remember. Watch Hill is a great example: An entire summer community was lost to the '38 Hurricane. An area that was once densely packed with summer homes was completely washed out to sea, and is now a state park.

It's a fabulous town, and this house likely has some of the best views on the entire East Coast. That said, it has always, during my lifetime, been a bit on the shabby side, and I hope the work she's putting into it will bring it back to some glory. As far as natural disasters go, this house is on one of the highest bluffs on the east coast, far beyond any wave or flooding damage (though wind is another issue, it's easier to protect against). <br /><br />Having said all that, I never understood this purchase. Watch Hill is a pretty closed, discreet, old money community, and also is mostly families and retirees. Not sure why a young entertainer would be interested in living there. Nor why she'd want a huge mansion. Her presence has been pretty disruptive to the community, as well. The house is situated at the entrance to the public beach, and her security detail has been obtrusive. The seawall has always been a hangout spot for people, but she has disrupted that. Her house is literally hundreds of feet and a steep hike up the sea wall from the bottom where people hang out, so it really presents no security risk to her.

It's a combination of the sea level rising and storms washing out the beach. So unfortunate. Talk of bringing in sand costs millions and nobody's putting much faith in it. Another NJ beach did it in the 1980s. It washed out in three months. Bummer. <br /><br />Contrary to popular opinion, she's in total compliance on the break wall work. The surfers don't like it.<br /><br />http://www.providencejournal.com/breaking-news/content/20131230-taylor-swifts-seawall-riles-watch-hill-surfers-crmc-says-its-legal.eceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-55504843165661786932014-04-21T12:00:44.477-07:002014-04-21T12:00:44.477-07:00This home is so beautiful.

Ten and a half bathrooms seems a little bit much to me. I don't think that I could live here but it is beautiful. <br /><br />Eliza Lawrence | http://www.realestate-idaho.com/fine/real/estate/newsearch/lndgname/Boise/Boise_Idaho_Real_Estate_Search#.UwYo3IXLJJA Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
