got an extra million (give or take)? a sunset idea house can be yours


An “Idea House” built in Menlo Park, CA for Sunset magazine in 2005 is for sale. With green features like solar panels, a tankless water heater, and low-e windows, you’ll only pay $50 in utilities per month. Which is a good thing — you’ll need your cash for the $939,000 asking price. I love the trend in green building, but the truth is, I’m pretty “Meh” about the exterior and the interior of this house — though I do very much like one of the bathrooms!

As someone who is familiar with the neighborhood where this house is located, it’s overpriced.
Too bad one of the “ideas” included wasn’t good design.
