Second room, white spotless furniture, soot all over the fireplace - no. (However, beautiful HERMES orange vs white - coulda been a contenta.) The rest, sparse.

I could easily go from my jammies to shorts and a tee-shirt, fast ponytail and a baseball cap to protect my natural high and low lights (LOL).

Hamptons reminds me of Stinson beach ($2500/ sq ft)-- very nice lots, major zoning regualtions (stinson has max 350 building permits) issues - I can accept the zoning regulation; but at $2500 a sq ft I need a lttle more effort then Uncle Fester's outhouse being pawned off as a beach home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-59973041416649706402008-03-31T08:28:00.000-07:002008-03-31T08:28:00.000-07:00The great debate - Malee-boo or Hamptons?

I'm one of those silly privacy nuts, who feels that part of the money one spends on real estate (when buying a SFR) is on the actual <I>land</I>. It must be the small part of me that claims frugal Scots heritage or it's my inherent distaste for hearing my neighbors noisy ablutions, but in any case, this is a nice spread. I can't claim enough knowledge of the East Hamptons to remotely say whether it is well priced, but it doesn't seem outrageous, either.Alessandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18219610307384386752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-54773780694324895522008-03-31T08:04:00.000-07:002008-03-31T08:04:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.scrap happy girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06611944776078386036noreply@blogger.com
