The realtor is getting calls from all over the world. I’ll bet that some savvy investor will buy it and rent it out for a one or two week minimum. You’d clean up with just the Japanese who would want to come for a stay. They love that movie!

Thanks for the link!

For the record, the garage is further down the property from the house. No chance to drive through the garage and take out the house at the same time.

I grew up not far from there. You couldn't give me that house. Very cold-looking on the inside and I'll bet it's a real hoot in the Chicago winters.

I think that falls under if you have to ask you cant afford it. Or the extra zero was put there to discourage the riff raff from making an offer.

The other Bueller house, Ferris’s, is in my neighborhood. And I’ll give you a hint: it’s pretty far from Chicago.

.0000023 of the 1 trillion in stimulus money.

Or $434,000 for each of the 2,300,000 people who Obama forced into unemployment this year.

I’m in CA but visited MA one time a few years ago — loved it. Have friends in a cute little community in Pembroke not far from Plymouth. If not for the weather and that I’m not used to snow, I’d move there in a heartbeat.

So green, so many trees, etc. I even liked Cape Cod, and Hyannisport. Got a glimpse of the Kennedy compound from about a block away. Can you imagine?

Ok, I’ll bite — how far from Chicago IS Ferris’s house?

I’m in L.A., and the old Beverly Hills 90210 TV show house was miles away in Altadena or thereabouts. Ridiculous.

Most “modern” places are cold-looking, even if they use deeper colors. Like hospitals.
