Servants’ quarters.

Here’s a mansion, price reduced by $90 million or so:

Seven bedrooms, seven bathrooms too. That’s a steal for “only” $4.5 Million Dollars. I knew it must be a property far, far away from my state of California.

Here in Ca. $4.5 might get you 2 bed/1 bath walk up, with a big bay window. But it first needs to be retro fitted for quakes, and you will need to replace the grass lawn with succulent ground vines that don’t drink a lot of water.
And you better hope no squatters are already living inside smoking dope.

It’s a row house, nothing more, especially when your walls are attached to someone else’s walls. When I think of owning a home, it doesn’t include having someone else’s walls attached on either side of me. That’s an apartment or townhouse. Just my personal opinion. I’ve never owned a home, and have always either lived over, or under someone, or next to them.

The 1995 version of ‘Persuasion’ is a good film. The 2022 version seems to be a Woke version with American Dakota Fanning cast in the lead (when has there ever been a shortage of good Brit actresses?).

Anyway the 2022 version has a 31% score on Rotten Tomatoes, definitely rotten. So, stream the 1995 version, highly recommended.

4.5 million pounds for a dump. Some sucker will pay it.
