Date: July 21st, 2026 5:15 PM Author: Ceci n'est pas un pumo There's a lot to dislike, but at first I didn't catch that it was originally built in 1900. That covers a fair amount of sins.
I think I'd need to see it in person. Lots of it looks like they went too far with updates (so much painted woodwork...)
Other parts look like they didn't go far enough (pool area looks pretty shitty) |

|
Date: July 21st, 2026 6:41 PM Author: Ceci n'est pas un pumo IMO, huge homes made more sense back in the day (this house was originally constructed in 1900).
Richmos tended to keep more staff in their presence, people tended to have larger families. Also, lodging & transportation weren't as refined as they are now, so there was a greater societal expectation for wealthy to host guests at their estates. |
|
Date: July 21st, 2026 9:34 PM Author: Richard Ames This makes sense and I hadn't considered it. tyft.
I remember watching one of those Tiny Home shows and Deion Sanders was on it. He wanted to move out of his huge 10k square foot mansion because he said he legitimately only used like three rooms in the house and it was just a waste. |

|
Date: July 21st, 2026 9:04 PM Author: Ceci n'est pas un pumo LOL why would you assume no AC?
Everywhere in this country makes very regular use of AC other than Alaska, coastal Norcal/OR/WA, some scattered high altitude mountain towns, and maybe some coastal Great Lakes spots (Mackinac Island, Copper Harbor?).
The average high in Kennebunkport this month is 84. It hit 96 there on July 2. |

Date: July 22nd, 2026 7:27 PM Author: bloomington (🦬) I know what you mean. My family's cabin in northern WI doesn't have AC. You could say it's not supposed to; it's a relatively small, basic place on a lake.
But a couple times now this summer my old man has backed out of going there w/ me because it's been too hot. I'm starting to not really understand why we aren't sticking a few portable room A/C units up there. They go for around $600 a piece, so we'd probably be able to get the whole cabin cooled for under $2k. The units would probably last a long fucking time too because they'd only get used a few weeks a year.
The fuck are we even doing here? Why am I missing out on one of the last summers my dad has with okay health over ~$200/yr? It's not my call, it's my dad's place and he's really cheap. |

Date: July 23rd, 2026 1:02 AM Author: Diamond Dallas Chad I wouldn't assume ACs just left to sit will last a "long fucking time." It's not that great to let them sit idle for almost a year at a time. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5884754&forum_id=2),#50018541) |

basement in general looks like shit and you have to cross a road to get to the water. a $10M house in fucking Maine should have a deep water dock directly off the back yard |

Not sure I buy it. Seems like a Blasey Ford 'two front doors' sort of situation. |

Obviously I have no clue how much they will let you subdivide. But I do think subdividing was part of the long term plan on this. I think that's why they crammed the pool in where they did - leaves more space to carve off.
IMO the time is right to ring the register on that. The asking price might not be as far off from reality as people ITT are thinking. |
