Scarlett O'Hara wanna be.<br />As for Encino, it's to the Valley what Beverly Hills is to LA without going to bum-fuck Hidden Hills. (Please let us not discuss Calabasas...more cookie cookers owned and thought divine by wanna-be people who still think more is more...)<br />Many people with bucks choose it for its proximity to private schools, soccer and little league facilities, the studios, etc...not to mention <br />the unique privilege of not having to valet your car at the dry cleaner. Old horse properties and other interesting and legendary estates from Old Hollywood days. You could do a lot worse. And btw, Hoff's a great example of how no house is great just because a celebrity lives in it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-68001634218891183012009-08-07T06:47:27.656-07:002009-08-07T06:47:27.656-07:00The house alone is grounds for divorce.

The house on the other hand is an odd mix of architectural proportions exteriorially and elements interiorally - classic McMansion - and the decor does nothing to distract attention or inspire interest. The Hasselhoffs would be wise to hire a home stager, but since their whole approach to selling a property seems so lackadaisical, I doubt they will.angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03505468088062683138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-58377500763025827152009-08-06T06:45:56.759-07:002009-08-06T06:45:56.759-07:00"The French deifying Jerry Lewis was hard eno...<i>"The French deifying Jerry Lewis was hard enough to take."</i><br /><br />Snowman, truer words were never spoken; my sole consolation is that perhaps Mr. Lewis' choice of real estate showed better taste.<br /><br />It's even more ghastly (if possible) <a href="http://www.bing.com/maps/default.aspx?v=2&FORM=LMLTCP&cp=pptrrp53qwf6&style=b&lvl=2&tilt=-90&dir=0&alt=-1000&phx=0&phy=0&phscl=1&scene=6797694&encType=1" rel="nofollow">from the air;</a> all the charm of a bank on Northern Blvd. that's been converted to law offices.<br /><br />One nice guest house tucked in amongst the trees by the pool, but the other one is smack up against the house next door & faces the garage across the driveway ––– <i>charming.</i><br /><br />The interior defies analysis; has anyone even seen an end table like the one in the "great room" (of the "wacky fur covered ottoman" ilk) since Gordon Gekko laid out his cocaine on it in <i>Wall Street?</i>lil' gay boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10115496241247504856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-62588425031618529882009-08-06T04:48:04.584-07:002009-08-06T04:48:04.584-07:00Those are just like my dining room chairs.
