'Satsang' and its Insane Indoor Pool Ask $20M in SoCal | Armonk Real Estate

-


Location: Yorba Linda, Calif.
Price: $20,000,000
The Skinny: Apologies to the listing, but if you're looking for an "architectural masterpiece", move along, nothing to see here. If, however, you're looking for the best SoCal trainwreck since this rough beast slouched toward La Quinta, waiting to be sold, step right up and behold Satsang. This truly amazing home, which looks sort of like Richard Meier had a nightmare wherein a circa-1988 Glendale Galleria swallowed a YMCA natatorium and then passed out in exhaustion on a hill in Orange County as it tried to drag its chrome-and-glass bricked carcass to freedom in Mexico, contains multitudes. Highlights include the very finest Hampton Inn-surplus carpet, a bathroom containing what could either be a settee or a Love Toilet, and a collection of furniture that possesses all the style and élan of a dozen Paas Easter eggs. And then there's the pool, which is enclosed in a cavernous space whose ceiling is painted like the sky, and which at night is illuminated like the interior of a prom night limo. All this can be had for the asking price of $20M, which also includes a grand ballroom and a private elevator.

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.
