America’s Most Expensive Homes: Part 1

For this blog posting, All My Sons of Oklahoma City wanted to report on America’s most expensive homes as listed on MSN.com. These homes are so grandiose and luxurious that they even have names. The first one is an English-style mansion called The Manor and is located in Holmby Hills, California. Candy Spelling put this home on the market back in 2008 for $150 million. It’s 56, 500 square feet and has plenty of amenities including a bowling alley, a wine cellar, rooms for gift-wrapping, a library, a gym, and a media room. It also has 4.6 acres that boat a pool, landscaped gardens, a waterfall and a parking lot good for 100 cars. Fleur de Lys in Beverly Hills is the next home on America’s Most Expensive Homes list. This 35,000 square feet home is priced at $125 million and is allegedly remodeled after Versailles. It has 12 bedrooms, 15 bathrooms, a 50-seat screening room, Italian marble and gold-embossed leather walls. The Oklahoma City movers found out that the home has been up for sale since 2007 and the owner is not reducing her price. The Tranquility Estate in Lake Tahoe in Nevada is third on the list at $100 million. It’s owned by the co-founder of famous clothing line Tommy Hilfiger. It has a cigar lounge, an art studio, a gym, even a golf course, boathouse and a staircase the replicates the stairs of the S.S. titanic.
