My only other thing is that the living room has WAY too many coffee tables and side tables. I think i counted 8 of them in all. Other then that, this house is just amazing in so many ways. frosted glass on the floor and on the window into the garage would make a world of a difference.

My wife live directly across the road when we started dating. And the celebrity owner is ... Galen Weston Jr! Love the pool setting and the floors of the upstairs hallway.

Personally the view into the garage is just silly. But I love me some garage doors that lead out to a pool from the living room. Swoon! I love glass floors too, LOVE them, but there needs to be more uniformity in the flooring "overall" and that bathroom, skip it. But overall I really like it a lot, minus a lot of the furnishing, but hey, I'm sure someone would say the same about our place. :) Again, a lot of good ideas that just need focus.

Love the Exterior cladding material but not the horizontal/vertical orientation of them. The raised door to the pool, viewing the auto through the kitchen/living room = fabulous idea, but the structural beams and the dark cabinetry... yikes. The bathrooms use of stainless trim and soft green glass tiles nice, but the choice in stone colour, cabinetry and a plexi-green countertop- uh NO. [Just as a note; why make bathrooms so small?] But the best feature is the glass floor!!! HIt and miss.
