two-story duplex apartment at the osborne in new york city right across from carnegie hall i mean it's exquisite it's funny that this office came from new york i came from new york so there you go this office was meant for me welcome to the wine cellar the napa so it's completely inspired by like a napa valley wine cellar you have a formal dining room with the most incredibly rich hardwoods scullimandre and crevat wallpapers it has calamari wallpaper inlaid ceilings this exquisite fixture and then a picture window right into that incredible wine cellar where you can it's big enough to

look at this incredible cabinetry all right wolf gas range six burner look at this incredible stone farmhouse sink this actually was hand hammered in maine take a look thermador refrigerator the quality the selections of this home basically on on par with no one else the absolute most expensive way to finish a wall in florida where they usually use knockdown texture orange peel or a variation thereof yeah is this beautiful skin coating this is the most expensive way to finish a wall so basically if there are any defects you typically use like an orange peel or a knock down texture there's none of that here ceilings walls look at the perfection here at least 22 different ceilings that i've been able to count in this home each of them a different play a different theme [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Music] this house sucks i hate this house i should have bought this house this is where the batmobile will be living this is basically nirvana central man this is it this is what happens when money meets opportunity this is what happens when a polock real estate agent get catches you while you're drunk and sells you a house you get taken advantage of it over pay can you go to the backyard from here absolutely absolutely you can i follow me through this way here's the elevator for the guest home here is the staircase for the guest home where you will be residing in this is actually the covered loggia terrace from beneath the guest home which is probably bigger than anyone in bellar beach or bell or shore to begin with but it follows up or it follows through across this covered bridge crossing to another five thousand square feet of covered lotion terrorists are ceiling but they will hey there's a leak in the pool get this gleek stop right here hold on hold on let me do it call a plumber and get a leak stopped on there now stay like that until the plumber comes okay we'll do we'll do here you got a pool big deal yeah a pool you have a pool that landmark pools put in that is unreal take a look you basically weighed in with the stone feature with the small little fountain deal all pebble tech through you've got a covered bridge you've got a spa towards the very end all of it culminates in a lazy river that runs the entire property [Music] if i swim the lazy river five times it's one mile i'm thinking about starting to do it a little seating area just a little little bar area here for this pool area that could basically seat what about 50 or 60 people billiards table lazy river that goes all the way around here let's go to the bowling alley [Music] come on through welcome to the bowling alley with bowling shoes we even have ben's size here on a second do we have a 15 no i guess ben's got to buy a pair would this fit him

balconies that much another balcony this is a guest master suite [Music] the only thing i need to buy for this house is about 50 ashtrays from the dollar store and plant them everywhere then this house will be complete i can wave to everybody hey everybody how you doing i didn't even know this room was here what's in it let's see trophies must be that oh look at this an extra room i don't even

existed i don't have any trophies because i never won anything in my life i don't know i guess i could hang my jimmy heart pictures in here i took all the boxes out put a pool table in there a hockey table in there and a fool's ball in there this is a big difference to where i grew up a big difference what does it mean for you to buy a house like it means that you know i've been working for all my life and i'm not going to live forever and i want my family to be taken care of after i'm gone and i want to leave a legacy and hopefully if we keep this house then they'll uh have many many years to enjoy it even after i'm gone in the meantime we got a nice big house in the beach and uh hopefully we'll all live happily ever after if we can get rid of danny that'll be the first step i mean it's
