Mansionmania continues. I'm going to show you the most expensive homes in every state and a few territories, with a few extras thrown in from the largest states to get the tourney up to 64. It'll be a single-elimination tournament.
You will choose among each pair of houses with the following assumptions:
The purchase price for you is $0.
All maintenance, utilities, property taxes, 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.
If you vote for Missouri, just know that DJ's Left Nut and I may order a hit on you, and it'll be fully legal. The time to worry is when you hear fife music. [Reply]
The Missouri house is the first I think that has everything I’d expect that normal million dollar house doesn’t have such as a basketball court, bowling, large movie theater, and huge pool slides, as well as the land, and overall interior space. [Reply]
The feel of that DC house basically requires staff - kitchen, laundry, groundskeeping, valet, someone to announce arrivals in the reception hall. Gonna be challenging with that small of a stipend, but you're living like royalty. [Reply]
