☆ It Takes Patience to Live in a Famous House
  + stars: | 2023-08-25 | by ( Candace Taylor | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Thanks to social media and Google maps, homes that are even moderately well-known can now be inundated with people eager to take selfies or relive on-screen moments. The real-life Dutch Colonial Revival house on which "The Amityville Horror" book and film series were based had a distinctive façade and windows that have since been renovated, in part, to discourage tourism.

☆ Doggie Mansions and Tiffany Bowls: Lifestyles of Rich and Famous Pets

Robbie Timmers went all-out adding a contemporary-style house on his property in Thailand. White with chic black trim, the two-story, air-conditioned abode has security cameras, smart lighting and a sliding door to the porch. Mr. Timmers would have added a swimming pool, too, but his wife objected. Her reasoning? It seemed unnecessary for the home’s intended occupants: the couple’s five dogs.
☆ Sure, You’ve Got a Wine Cellar. What About a Whiskey Lounge, or a Tequila-Tasting Room?
  + stars: | 2022-12-15 | by ( Candace Taylor | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Raja Amar’s 23-acre estate in Stony Point, N.Y., has plenty of places to enjoy a cocktail. Visitors can choose a bottle from his glass-enclosed custom wine cellar, which holds about $2 million worth of wine from Opus One, Screaming Eagle and other pricey wineries. They can sample it at a table in the wine-tasting room just outside. They can pour a Macallan 25 at the bar and sip it in the whiskey-and-cigar lounge, a cherry wood-paneled room with two commercial-grade smoke eaters. A 56-year-old entrepreneur in the telecommunications industry, Mr. Amar built these amenities to house his collection of rare wines, whiskeys, cognacs, bourbons and tequilas, spending about $250,000 to create the wine cellar and wine room and roughly $1.2 million on the whiskey lounge.

A dramatic stretch of Rhode Island’s craggy coastline. Two stone gateposts inscribed with the name Seafair. Then, an unmistakable voice emerged from an intercom: that of longtime late-night host Jay Leno. The wrought-iron gates, decorated with fish and seashell designs, swung open to reveal an immense stone manse on the edge of the ocean. A brand-new black Genesis was parked in the circular cobblestone motor court next to a fountain topped with two sea horses.

In October 2012, The Wall Street Journal launched its Mansion section with the goal of covering high-end real estate in the U.S. and around the world. It has been a busy 10 years. Market observers were shocked that year, when the family of Russian billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev paid $88 million for a penthouse at Manhattan’s 15 Central Park West. But that deal turned out to be just the beginning. There were 48 sales of $50 million or more in 2021, up from five in 2012, according to data from real-estate appraiser Jonathan Miller .
