@MsWildhack: Rather difficult to hide oneself in a mirrored room, eh? Best of luck with your studies. Stop by when you can; it's always nice to have more people. :D

Whoa! Time gets away from me once school starts. I like the estate agent crouching behind the camera in that all-mirror bathroom.

@Emerald63: "Morticia Addams" - nailed it. That painting will have to go. This place has been kept up-to-date, but the floor plan does reflect its age in the lack of sense, re: dining room being so far removed from the kitchen and bedroom with no accessible bathroom nearby. I did wonder at the art of putting pillows in the fireplace in what I think is the library.

I would not have expected the contemporary interior given the (I think) early 20th century exterior. For the most part it works; it certainly is a good job of contemporary anyway. I don’t know about that bathroom, though… Maybe if I were a super model… and really vain… but I repeat myself. Too bad the featured painting doesn’t resemble a super model more. I was thinking it was perhaps a Picasso (an original even, considering the home’s price tag), but then I checked out the full screen images. Nooo… too Morticia Addams for him.

Other oddities… the similarly cubist kitchen and dining room chandelier, the massive (and did I say massive) brick stairway off the back terrace, and the aforementioned “glowy” cinema furnishings (velveteen, I believe). And what’s with that dining room being one floor and no adjacent staircase removed from the/a kitchen? Or the 2nd floor bedroom with no bathroom access? (Check the “floorplans” link to the right of the listing images.

I do like the Blue Willow bedroom though, and the “summer house” is to die for. I prefer Ron Howard’s indoor pool, though. But since I don’t have the $77M(!!!) to buy it, I don’t suppose it really matters. Nice to look at though…
