I’m sure location has a lot to do with the cost of his house. But I’d get a lot bigger rooms and better details for that much $.

But if I’m gonna shell out that kind of money (and who am I kidding - I’m not), I do expect much more room and luxury for that much.

I think it’s a perfectly fine home from the inside.

We don’t really have any idea how big the house is. I love the classic look. (I’m obviously not endorsing Cruz!)

There is no sign people actually live there, not even a coffee maker in the kitchen. These look like real estate photos, not what it looks like now.

That said, it is a lovely house. Too bad it is soiled by the presence of its smarmy owner.

Nothing personal out to view; bland, smaller furniture to make rooms look bigger, no color.

I can understand having the main rooms in neutral colors, but I would hope that at least the girls' bedrooms would have some color.

Next, 2.1 Million? If I won the lotto for an insane amount of money, my home would be nice, elegant, small, purposeful and nowhere near that cost.

I see nothing special about this pile of bricks. And the price doesn't even include the fee for exorcising the Cruz out of the house.
