Miami Beach Manse Sets its Sail Headway For $22.5M | Waccabuc Real Estate

-


Location: Miami Beach, Fla.
Price: $22,500,000
The Skinny: New to market in Miami Beach is this slightly bizarro compound on guard-gated Hibiscus Island, which is asking $22.5M for six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, and hundreds of square feet of sailcloth. The home, which Curbed has covered before but deems worth another shout-out as House of the Day sheerly for its strangeness, has 13,000 square feet of living space spread out over four different buildings connected by lengths of white cloth, which radiate out from a pillar atop the main house and run down to the various outbuildings. A tiered pool spans from the covered loggia of the home to the shore of Biscayne Bay, where there's 150 feet of water frontage for parking watercraft that won't fit inside the boathouse. Inside the home are beamed ceilings and an open kitchen and dining bar, featuring what has to be the worst set of deer antler barstools in the long, sordid history of bad bar stools. The home, which the brokerbabble notes "has been featured in multiple magazines, movies, and videos", last sold for $10.6M in 2008.

U.S. Bancorp Said to Join PNC in Talks on Mortgage Settlement Jeff Kowalsky/Bloomberg Mortgage servicers typically handle billing and collections, as well as foreclosures when borrowers fail to pay.

Top 20 real estate websites in June | Mount Kisco Real Estate

-
Last year, Realtor.com and Yahoo Real Estate battled it out for the top position in the monthly real estate website rankings maintained by Web metrics firm Experian Hitwise . So far this year, Zillow has been king of the hill, having bumped Yahoo Real Estate from the top spot in March. Jockeying for the spots below first place has also been fierce, with Trulia jumping two positions into second place on the Hitwise list in June. Trulia leapfrogged over third-place Realtor.com, bumping Yahoo Real Estate into third place in the process. AOL Real Estate, meanwhile, moved up two positions from May to June, but there were no new websites in the top 10. The Hitwise rankings don't tally mobile app users, an increasingly popular option among consumers conducting listing searches. But they still provide a window into who's winning the battle for eyeballs -- an important consideration for brokers and agents in deciding where to spend their marketing dollars.
