...
i don't understand the fascination with this house in the media recently... seems like some realtor is using connections to advertise his listing
the house is listed at 10.5m BC taxes it @ a 12m price point
as for aesthetics... its all based on pov but to me its ugly (on the outside) looks nice on the inside though (not)

I'm sure they spent a decorator a lot of money to design the interior. I'm also sure that most of the materials are imported and expenseive as hell. Saying that the interior is totally fugly IMO. It's not my taste at all, if I had that much money I'd be looking elsewhere.

The 20,782-square-foot home was built in 1932 for George Reifel, a liquor magnate and rum runner during Prohibition who opened the Commodore Ballroom around the same time.

This thread is useless with a misleading title. The link does not show any pictures of the inside at all. So what? imagine?

I think that house looks awesome. Better than most of the ones in this link http://www.vancouversun.com/business....html?tab=PHOT
With the exception of the interior. I understand where they're going with it but its not my style

There was also a hidden door in the wall that lead to a secret washroom. It was an amazing house. I think the best part of the house was the kitchen, it was incredible, an open concept with huge doors that lead to the backyard/pool. It was a brown family that owned the house, I don't recall what the father did though.
I had no idea it was 15million.     
^There's an outdoor pool as well that changed colours

If I won the Lottery, I'd buy it and turn it into a Bed & Breakfast/ Fancy Restaurant & Ballroom/Lounge.
Think of the Revenue you could pull in from it.

meh....the interior looks like only someone in their 60s+ would like...
also kinda reminds me of houses a mexican drug lord would live in...
The house in the 2nd link looks wayyyy too formal with their "royalish" paint and decorations...
Even if I have the money, I can't imagine myself living in either one of these houses....i rather live a small condo with nice clean contemporary furnishing and design....and for 1/10th of the price compare to these houses

I currently live in a condo, 650sq/ft and I can not imagine living here for the rest of my life. I have enough space, but I can't see myself living here for the next 20-30years.
Obviously this is ymmv, but whenever I go home to my parents house I LOVE the space. Just space to walk around or walk up stairs etc.

space is limited, but for a single guy or a young couple, it is more than enough (fewer space, fewer junks, fewer maintenance, fewer expenses)
I am sure things would be very different once you start a family and have children tho
On my previous post I was more referring to a $1-2 million, 1500sqft+ condo (instead of a 700sqft)

I remember running around that house a bunch when I was a kid. My dad was in charge of a reno or something for the house when his boss bought it, or something like that, so I got to go check it out. Place was HUGE.

Very nice house. If I had some 10mil lying around for a house, I'd seriously, seriously consider it.

You know you're living HK too long when 10mil to me (obviously I can't afford it) is an extremely good deal.

Casi Mia needs some serious reno's.
Although its still a beautiful house, the outside needs some work, and the toilets/sinks/furniture need serious work.
I wonder if the kitchen is as dated
