She has been enormously successful. She was not lucky she worked hard and has talent. She HAS Achieved he American dream x10. She chose to invest in a property that is in the most perfect location in North America for a summer retreat. I think it's great that she recognizes and appreciates the location. I hope she can get an opportunity to relax and enjoy southern New England, as I have for about 50 years.

Because the rich aren't paying diddly squat these days and are raking in hard working middle class Americans taxes. The rich are the biggest welfare queens out there. I'm pretty sure the rich need to start paying their share since the middle class and lower are being raped for their money to keep this country going. No wonder we're in the financial crisis with voting dips like you unaware as to who you should be angry/complaining about.

She entertains friends in the summertime when she has breaks in her busy schedule, breaks that are scheduled in so she can maintain her sanity. This, for the glorious Ms Swift, is essentially a secure mini-hotel for her family, friends and entourage. She's been known to take her dozen dancers and band members on mini-vacations, and now she can do it in style and security. I imagine there is a quality biz-jet port near by for her to touch and go. The Harkness House legacy name adds another touch of class, as does the Watch Hill Village and Westerly. Good choice! She's putting a few dollars into it to fix it up and fix up the property's breakwater, good move. When she decides, in a couple of decades, that she doesn't need it anymore, her personal cachet will add to the home's value.

Traveling a half mile to get to the beach is not necessary. I walked that path many, many summers with my grand father and sister to take a quick dip in the ocean. Summer at Watch Hill are some of my favorite childhood memories. When I was 10 I wrote a poem about the Harkness House (circa: 1961) The poem won first place in a poetry contest at State Steet School located in Westerly. I would feel privileged to give that poem to Taylor to proudly display in her new summer residence. Don't knock Warch Hill until you've experienced it.

That said, it actually looks (or looked, when I last saw it) a bit run-down on the exterior. Personally, I think it needs new siding--the white is great but sticks out in Watch Hill. I think natural cedar shakes would look fantastic.<br /><br />For those who don't know the area, Watch Hill was and remains a very discreet, old-money, relaxed and still blessedly relatively unknown summer spot. I can confirm the poster above me's comment in that it does have amazing lobster rolls.

The chimneys made the house, and were visible for miles.<br /><br />For what it is worth, Watch Hill in the summer time attracts a large numebr of very hot (str8) guys.

You're not too bright are you? Y...hahaha @1:40.<br />You're not too bright are you? You don't know anything about the real estate doings of the wealthy and how they pay for it do you?<br />a) Clearly SHE DIDNY SAVE $17,000,000. SHE JUST SPENT IT ON A DAMN HOUSE. SPENDING DOES NOT = SAVING. <br />b) I would be absolutely shocked if she paid cash for this, or if she did I'd imagine she will mortgage it, this is what a considerably large portion of the wealthy do. The "common folk" don't ever seem to comprehend why you would mortgage a home if you can afford it outright.<br />---Well here's why: With mortgage rates near all time record lows it costs next to nothing for a wealthy person to finance a home. And by mortgaging a portion of it, lets say $10 mil of the $17 mil, it can be invested in other places, stocks, bonds, hedge funds, alpaca farms - whatever, and will earn a hire return than if the $10mil simply sat in a home that isn't going to increase substantially in value anytime soon. This place was on the market FOREVER. Basically this means anyone who wanted to be in Watch Hill and could afford this home, didnt want it. So she'll have to sit on this for a number of years to make a reasonable profit. That is of course if there's another Taylor Swift type that will come along and also be willing to overpay on a big white elephant of a house, in a real estate market they know nothing about.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-3045297238527532752013-04-29T19:15:19.466-07:002013-04-29T19:15:19.466-07:00PUBLICITY STUNT........
