The place is like a museum, but price reduced!

Cameron's home is for sale. Even though the place is like a museum (it's very beautiful and very cold, and you're not allowed to touch anything), it's still a good place to park that choice Ferrari you picked up earlier this year.

If you have the means, I highly recommend you pick one up.

Wow. Seriously, despite the pop culture legacy that house is associated with, it really does look like a place that would never feel warm. Pass.

One acre and yet "... surrounding woods ...," as if it were in the middle of a forest instead of having a bunch of houses within a stones' throw. I also like how it is designed to trigger both agoraphobia and acrophobia all at once.

I can just imagine having sex in there: It would have to be at night, with the lights out and done quietly so as not to frighten or disturb the architecture.

Is it me or does that seem kind of cheap? For an architecturally unique house in a nice Chicago suburb with a notable movie appearance?

What's with the assessment? $250k land, $160k house. Does Chicago use weird assessment rules? Would the taxes triple if someone actually payed $1mil+ for it?

The owners are in Decatur. Unfortunately, they're not staying.

If this was referring to David Cameron's home being for sale, possibly because he'd been found guilty of crimes against the British people and been publicly executed along with his grinning buddy Nick Clegg and obviously didn't need a house any longer cos his head was on a spike on Westminster Bridge and his arsehole was on display at Newcastle, I'd have found it really quite interesting.

The median home value for a house in that part of Highland Park is $850,000, according to that New York Times census data map I can't figure out how to link to. So it doesn't seem extraordinarily cheap to me.

The realtor is Meladee Hughes?!? Is John's estate so deep in debt?
