This dramatic Mediterranean Estate was built in 2009 by Brentwood builder Greg Shain. The home which melds traditional styling with clean lines was sold for $9,350,000 to its current owners who hired Michael Smith to design up the place and now 2.5 years later have listed it at a giant increase. Upon further investigation, about all Michael did is pick out a whole lot of furniture... paint the interior, add a few light fixtures and make some landscaping modifications. So what accounts for the massive price hike?
I loved this home when I toured it the first time it was for sale, I was excited when I saw it hit MLS today, but have to say I am not fond of many of the changes. Most of the new light fixtures are hideous (and the only ones new really are the library, living room & foyer chandeliers... even the wall sconces are the same as the developer install) and I liked the stark more contemporary decor that the house boasted the first time around.
Not sure I like the tacky almost christmas-ish looking lights hanging all over... When did it become cool to leave your christmas lights up all year round?
