Mansionmania rolls along with our juggernaut Elite 8 4th-round contestants. You will choose among each pair of houses with the following assumptions:
The purchase price for you is $0.
All maintenance, utilities, property taxes, HOA fees, and cleaning is included.
You must live in the home for the rest of your life.
You can't travel more than 100 miles from home (via google maps drive time) other than 1 two-week vacation each year.
You get $250,000 per year as a living allowance
You get an additional living allowance at the cheaper home, which will be valued at 1% of any cost difference annually. I will note this amount in the poll.
You get the furnishings. If unfurnished, you get an allowance that will give you mid-grade furniture in every room.
You get any vehicles in the garage. But only the garage - nothing parked outside.
I encourage you to click on the maps in the listings to see the general location and neighborhood.
Also, I will only enter contestants if they have a sufficient number of photos to judge, as determined by me.

I'm basing that on nothing substantial.
I got curious and email the realtor and will post any response. She's pretty easy on the eyes to boot:
Did you let her know that her property is currently in the Elite Eight of the Mansionmania tournament? Or are you posing as a tech entrepreneur whose company just went public? [Reply]

I left the purpose of my inquiry ambiguous in fear of revealing I'm not in the market for a $51 million dollar house and to plant the seed of anticipation. [Reply]

It might not be $51 million. Maybe you can see how negotiable the price is and offer something lower. [Reply]

Burt, you're retired! That Florida home would be a dream for you. Imagine never having to get up at the ass crack of dawn and scrape the frost off your windshield ever again!
Seriously. That has to be like a top 5 negative experience in life. [Reply]

Shit, that's true.. and Aspen has a really nice garage, too.
Still! There's a reason Florida is such a popular retirement spot. [Reply]

If that's in the top 5 negative experiences, for you.... you need to get out more!
But seriously, I have snorkeled off of Peanut Island which is within eyesight of where that house is. It wasn't built when I was there, but I absolutely LOVE that area. It's known as Riviera Beach. However Aspen and rockies rock quite a bit. I AM retired from snow skiing... [Reply]
