Among the many buildings designed by Robert A.M. Stern and his architectural firm – I wonder if he had a brother named Robert F.M. Stern – are the Norman Rockwell Museum, Jacksonville Public Library, Nashville Public Library, Four Seasons Hotel New York, Comcast Center in Philadelphia, the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta and the George W. Bush Presidential Library & Museum.

It's smaller than most bathrooms in Martha's Vineyards.

I saw this article
and it got me to dig through my pictures, and find one I took at the same beach in 2012
When I took it, I figured that these houses would be gone in a few years. And they probably are. Or maybe they're the same houses featured in the article.
Precarious living at a cliff's edge goes for $100K in Cape Cod
Two houses on the same street in Eastham recently sold or went under contract for about $100,000 — but how long before the ocean claims them?

Those houses are disposable at that prices.
Buy one for $100k and build a new house behind it before the hillside collapses.
Just put the new house on rails and slide it back from the edge every now and then.
It's amazing how sandy those hills are.

Sherbert is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
For less than 16% of the cost of the Johnny Carson mansion, you could buy Gene Hackman's estate and have enough money left over for a Big Mac meal, a tank of gas and a carton of eggs.

It's kinda cold and impersonal looking.
Not the kind of place that seems comfortable to hang out in.

No thanks.
It would be a cool ghost to have hanging around though.
Because there are thousands of people who will ignore a $40m listing, but take great interest in one that's a few dollars less.
I always set my Zillow searches to look for houses over $30,000,000 and less than $40,000,000.
I'd miss out on a $40,000,000 house.

If you can wrestle an eleven-million-dollar loan for yourself – see what I did there? – this lovely five-bedroom mansion with marble floors, a pool, spa, wine cellar and private beach can be yours.

Hulk Hogan's Florida mansion to hit market for $11m after his death
Hogan, real name Terry Bollea, collapsed at his five-bedroom mansion on Clearwater Beach on the morning of July 24. He later died in hospital of natural causes.
It's not as bad as I expected.
Some of the rooms have odd proportions.
The outdoors spaces are pretty nice.

Terry Gene Bollea (1953-2025) began wrestling in 1977 under the name The Super Destroyer. In 1978, inspired by Lou Ferrigno's titular role on the TV series The Incredible Hulk (based on the Marvel Comics character) – and realizing he was bigger than Ferrigno – he started calling himself Terry "The Hulk" Boulder. In 1980, Terry joined the World Wrestling Federation. Several websites and biographies credit WWF founder Vince McMahon with giving Terry the last name "Hogan" to appeal to Irish fans of wrestling – but they're wrong. Hogan was the last name of his maternal great-grandmother.
