When I was a kid, maybe 10 years old or so, I recall when we'd "go to town" to Bristol, VA. My parents would be driving down Euclid Avenue in our $10.00 car (a 1962 Ford Falcon) and everytime we passed this house, I referred to it as the "Movie Star House".
About 2 years ago, I had the opportunity to purchase the "Movie Star" house. It was HUGE inside. Beautiful genuine mahogany wood throughout. But very dark. In its center, it had a solarium with fountain and waterfall. Truly a movie star's tastes. It was on the market for $150,000. I wanted the owner to install a new terra cotta tile roof for that price. They wouldn't. Someone else bought it and recently sold it for $450,000.00. OH WELL, you win some, you lose some.
